In this case, you simply use subtraction to find out the velocity.  If the plane is flying at 395 km/h and is being blown by 55 km.h wind the other way, the velocity of the plane is 395 - 55.

395 km/h - 55 km/h = 340 km/h

So, the final velocity of the plane is 340 km/h east.

I think this is a situation where it's pretty important to mention the reference
frame in which the velocity is being measured.  You've got two different reference
frames going on here.

-- If the plane is flying east at 395 km/hr with respect to the ground, then
that is its velocity with respect to the ground ... 395km/h east.  If in addition
we know that the air is moving 55 km/h west with respect to the ground,
then the plane's velocity with respect to the air around it must be 450 km/h .

-- If the plane is flying east at 395 km/hr with respect to the air around it,
and the air in turn is moving 55 km/h west with respect to the ground, then
the plane's velocity is still 395 km/h through the air (its 'air speed'), and
340 km/h with respect to the ground (its 'ground speed').

The 'ground speed' is the vector sum of the 'air speed' and the wind speed.
There are special plastic devices made that a solo pilot can use to do this
calculation with one hand while he's flying.  He can read his air speed from
a gauge in his plane, and he gets wind speed and direction for his location
by radio from air traffic control centers or flight service stations along his route.
Then he has to calculate what direction he should point the nose of his plane
in order to proceed along the ground in the direction he wants to go.

A machine gun fires 50-g bullets at the rate of 4 bullets per second. The bullets leave the gun at a speed of 1000 m/s. What is
TEA [102]

Answer:

Average recoil force experienced by machine will be 200 N

Explanation:

We have give mass of each bullet m = 50 gram = 0.05 kg

There are 4 bullets

So mass of 4 bullets = 4×0.05 = 0.2 kg

Initial speed of the bullet u = 0 m/sec

And final speed of the bullet v = 1000 m/sec

So change in momentum P=m(v-u)=0.2\times (1000-0)=200kgm/sec

Time is given per second so t = 1 sec

We know that force is equal to rate of change of momentum

So force will be equal to F=\frac{200}{1}=200N

So average recoil force experienced by machine will be 200 N

What is the correct classification of a mixture in which both a solid and a liquid are visible?
stepan [7]
<span>The answer is a heterogeneous mixture. Mixtures can be homogeneous and heterogeneous. If a solid and a liquid of a mixture cannot be separated and the difference between them is not visible, it is called homogeneous mixture (or solution). If a solid and a liquid of a mixture are visible and can be separated easily, the mixture is called heterogeneous.</span>

0.A 20-g bullet moving at 1 000 m/s is fired through a one-kg block of wood emerging at a speed of 100 m/s. What is the kinetic
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

KE = 0.162 KJ

Explanation:

given,

mass of bullet (m)= 20 g = 0.02 Kg

speed of the bullet (u)= 1000 m/s

mass of block(M) = 1 Kg

velocity of bullet after collision (v)= 100 m/s

kinetic energy = ?

using conservation of momentum

m u = m v + M V

0.02 x 1000 = 0.02 x 100 + 1 x V

20 = 2 + V

V = 18 m/s

now,

Kinetic energy of the block

KE = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

KE = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 1 \times 18^2

KE = 162 J

KE = 0.162 KJ
