Answer:

speed of plane in still air = 1060 km/h

speed of wind = 170 km/h

Explanation:

Let teh speed of plane in still air is vp and the speed of air is va.

Irt travels 2670 km in 3 hours against the wind

So,

vp - va = 2670 / 3 = 890 km/h ..... (1)

It travels 11070 km in 9 hours along the wind.

vp + va = 11070 / 9 = 1230 km/h .... (2)

Adding both the equations

2 vp = 2120

vp = 1060 km/h

and va = 1230 - vp = 1230 - 1060 = 170 km/h

borishaifa [10]

To solve the exercise it is necessary to take into account the concepts of wavelength as a function of speed.

From the definition we know that the wavelength is described under the equation,

\lambda = \frac{c}{f}

Where,

c = Speed of light (vacuum)

f = frequency

Our values are,

f = 2Hz

c = 3*10^8km/s

Replacing we have,

\lambda = \frac{c}{f}

\lambda = \frac{3*10^8km/s}{2Hz}

\lambda = 1.5*10^8m

<em>Therefore the wavelength of this wave is 1.5*10^{8}m</em>

A child in a boat throws a 5.80-kg package out horizontally with a speed of 10.0 m/s. The mass of the child is 24.6kg and the ma
Sergio [31]

Answer:

-0.912 m/s

Explanation:

When the package is thrown out, momentum is conserved. The total momentum after is the same as the total momentum before, which is 0, since the boat was initially at rest.

(m_c + m_b)v_b + m_pv_p = 0

where m_c = 24.6 kg, m_b = 39 kg, m_p = 5.8 kg are the mass of the child, the boat and the package, respectively. , v_p = 10m/s, v_b are the velocity of the package and the boat after throwing.

(24.6 + 39)v_b + 5.8*10 = 0

63.6v_b + 58 = 0

v_b = -58/63.6 = -0.912 m/s

A new mechanic foolishly connects an ammeter with 0.1 Ω resistance directly across a 12-V car battery with internal resistance o
NemiM [27]

Answer:

The power dissipated by the meter is 1188W

Explanation:

Here we have a circuit constituted with a power source and two resistors in series, we can calculate the power dissipated by the meter using the following formula:

P=I^2R_m

We first need to fin the current going through the circuit:

I=\frac{V}{R}\\where:\\V=voltage\\R=resistance

R=R_s+R_m

because they are connected in series. So:

I=\frac{12V}{(0.01+0.1)}=109A

P=(109)^2*0.1=1188W

A waiter is carrying a tray above his head and walking at a constant velocity. If he applies a force of 5.0 newtons on the tray
Darya [45]
In physical terms, a force does work if it moves an object in the direction the force is pointing towards.

In your example, the force is pushing a tray up. But the force doesn't move the tray any further up. It remains at the same height. 

The is no force done by this force.
