Answer:

the direccion is θ = tan⁻¹ (Vw/Va)

Explanation:

The speed of the airplane is found by means of the sum of the two vectors, the airplane speed Va and the wind speed Vw.

The magnitude of the total velocity, we find it using the Pythagore  triangle

V = √(Va² + Vw²)

And the angle with respect to the north is

<h3>θ = tan⁻¹ (Vw/Va)</h3><h3 />

The direction is something between west and north. That is, a heading between 270 and 360. The exact direction depends on the airplane's airspeed and the wind speed.

Which of the following statements is true? The square root of the molecular weight of a gas is equal to its rate of diffusion. T
forsale [732]
The diffusion coefficient of the gas is proportional to the average rate of thermal motion of the molecules.

the average velocity is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass

so
The gas diffusion rate is inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular weight.

Which fossil fuel is produced as a by-product that occurs when bacteria decompose organic material under anaerobic conditions?
Mumz [18]

Bio-gas is the naturally produced fossil fuel, a by-product when bacteria decompose organic material under anaerobic conditions.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Organic matter particularly waste material is broken down by bacteria through fermentation in an environmental condition without any presence of oxygen. This process of decomposition leads to formation of bio-gas with "carbon dioxide and methane" in a 2:3 ratio.

The above biological process is termed as bio-digestion or anaerobic digestion. Methane is flammable and thus bio-gas can be used as "energy source", a waste-to-energy transformation. The remaining decomposed matter is ideal as manure for plants due to its rich nutrient level.
