An airplane is heading due south at a speed of 690 km/h . A) If a wind begins blowing from the southwest at a speed of 90 km/h (

average), calculate the velocity (magnitude) of the plane relative to the ground.B) Calculate the velocity (direction) of the plane relative to the ground.C) Calculate how far from its intended position will it be after 11 min if the pilot takes no corrective action.

Answer:a) 629,5851 km/h in magnitude b)629,5851 km/h at 84,2 degrees from east pointing south direction or in vector form 626,6396 km/h south + 63,6396km/h  east. c) 16,5 km NE of the desired position

Explanation:

Since the plane is flying south at 690 km/h and the wind is blowing at assumed constant speed of 90 km/h from SW, we get a triangle relation where

 

see fig 1

Then we can decompose those 90 km/h into vectors, one north and one east, both of the same magnitude, since the angle is 45 degrees with respect to the east, that is direction norhteast or NE, then

90 km/h NE= 63,6396 km/h north + 63,6396 km/h east,

this because we have an isosceles triangle, then the cathetus length is  

hypotenuse/\sqrt{2}

using Pythagoras, here the hypotenuse is 90, then the cathetus are of length

90/\sqrt{2} km/h= 63,6396 km/h.  

Now the total speed of the plane is

690km/h south + 63,6396 km/h north +63,6396 km/h east,

this is 626,3604 km/h south + 63,6396 km/h east,  here north is as if we had -south.

then using again Pythagoras we get the magnitude of the total speed it is

\sqrt{626,3604 ^2+63,6396^2} km/h=629,5851km/h,

the direction is calculated with respect to the south using trigonometry, we know the

sin x= cathetus opposed / hypotenuse,

then

x= sin^{-1}'frac{63,6396}{629,5851}=5,801 degrees from South as reference (0 degrees) in East direction or as usual 84,2 degrees from east pointing south or in vector form

626,6396 km/h south + 63,6396km/h  east.

Finally since the detour is caused by the west speed component plus the slow down caused by the north component of the wind speed, we get

Xdetour{east}= 63,6396 km/h* (11 min* h)/(60 min)=11,6672 km=Xdetour{north} ,

since 11 min=11/60 hours=0.1833 hours.

Then the total detour from the expected position, the one it should have without the influence of the wind, we get  

Xdetour=[/tex]\sqrt{2*  11,6672x^{2} }[/tex]  = 16,5km at 45 degrees from east pointing north

The situation is sketched as follows  see fig 2

Identify the labeled parts in the figure.
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

I. a, c, f and h

II. e

III. b, d, g and i

IV. i

Explanation:

I. Chemical symbols are simple abbreviations used to represent various elements or compound. They consist entire of alphabet.

For the diagram given above, the labelled parts which represent chemical symbol are: a, c, f and h

II. Coefficients are numbers written before the chemical symbol of elements or compound.

For the diagram given above, the labelled part which represent Coefficient is: e

III. Number of atoms of element present in a compound is simply obtained by taking note of the numbers written as subscript in the chemical formula of the compound.

For the diagram given above, the labelled part which represent the number of atoms of the element are: b, d, g and i

IV. When no number is written as subscript in the formula of the element in the compound, it means the element has just 1 atom in the compound.

For the diagram given above, the labelled part which indicates that only 1 atom of the element is present is: i

You are pushing a box up a ramp with 70 N of force. If the ramp is made steeper and shorter, what needs to happen to the box for
Elenna [48]

Answer:

A larger force than 70 N will be required for the box to continue moving

Explanation:

A ramp is an inclined plane surface that is tilted to form a slope on its opposite sides

A ramp provides mechanical advantage or force amplification, by allowing less force to lift heavier load from having to move through a longer distance to reach a particular elevation when the slope of the ramp is gentle

Therefore, when the slope is steeper, and shorter, more force than 70 N will be required for the box to continue moving.

a sealed cylinder contains a sample of ideal gas at a pressure of 2.0 atm. The rms speed of the molecules is v0. If the rms spee
fredd [130]

Answer:

P_2 = 1.62 atm

Explanation:

We know the formula for the rms speed of the ideal gas is  given by

v_{rsm}=\sqrt{\frac{3PV}{m} }

P= pressure of the surrounding

V= volume of the vessel

m= mass of the gas

Now, From this formula rms speed (v_rms) is directly proportional to square root is pressure.

Then  

\frac{v_{rsm,1}}{v_{rsm,2}} =\sqrt{\frac{P_1}{P_2} }

given that v_rsm,1= v0

and v_rsm,2=0.9v0

putting these values we get

\frac{v0}{0.9v0} =\sqrt{\frac{2}{P_2} }

P_2 = 1.62 atm
