<span> d = r*t is the basic distance equation
 d = 6000 km
 t with the tail wind = 6 hr
 r with the tail wind = speed of the plane + wind speed = s + w
 t with the head wind = 7.5 hr
 r with the head wind = speed of the plane - wind speed = s-w
 (s+w)*6 = 6000
 (s-w)*7.5 = 6000
 s + w = 1000
 s - w = 800
</span><span> 2s = 1800
 s = 900 km/h
 s + w = 1000
 w = 100
 Check the anwer by calculating the return trip.
 (900-100) * 7.5 = 800 * 7.5
 800 * 7.5 = 6000 km
 Answer: The rate of the jet in still air is 900 km/h. The rate of the wind is 100 km/hr.</span>

As an object slides across a rough horizontal
tiny-mole [99]

When the object slides across the rough surface some of its potential energy will be lost to friction.

<h3>Conservation of mechanical energy</h3>

The law of conservation of mechanical energy states that the total mechanical energy of an isolated system is always constant.

M.A = P.E + K.E

When the object slides across the rough surface, some of the potential energy of the object will be converted into kinetic energy while the remaining potential energy will be converted into thermal energy due to frictional force of the rough surface.

P.E = K.E + thermal energy

Water runs out of a horizontal drainpipe at the rate of 135 kg/min. It falls 3.1 m to the ground. Assuming the water doesn't spl
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The average force exerted by the water on the ground is 17.53 N.

Explanation:

Given;

mass flow rate of the water, m' = 135 kg/min

height of fall of the water, h = 3.1 m

the time taken for the water to fall to the ground;

h = ut + \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\h = 0 +  \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 3.1}{9.8} } \\\\t = 0.795 \ s

mass of the water;

m = m't\\\\m = 135 \ \frac{kg}{min} \ \times \ 0.795 \ s \ \times \ \frac{1 \ \min}{60 \ s} \ = 1.789 \ kg

the average force exerted by the water on the ground;

F = mg

F = 1.789 x 9.8

F = 17.53 N

Therefore, the average force exerted by the water on the ground is 17.53 N.

A car travels due east with a speed of 38.0 km/h. Raindrops are falling at a constant speed vertically with respect to the Earth
DiKsa [7]

Answer: 116.926 km/h

Explanation:

To solve this we need to analise the relation between the car and the Raindrops. The cars moves on the horizontal plane with a constant velocity.

Car's Velocity (Vc) = 38 km/h

The rain is falling perpedincular to the horizontal on the Y-axis. We dont know the velocity.

However, the rain's traces on the side windows makes an angle of 72.0° degrees. ∅ = 72°

There is a relation between this angle and the two velocities. If the car was on rest, we will see that the angle is equal to 90° because the rain is falling perpendicular. In the other end, a static object next to a moving car shows a horizontal trace, so we can use a trigonometric relation on this case.

The following equation can be use to relate the angle and the two vectors.

Tangent (∅) = Opposite (o) / adjacent (a)

Where the Opposite will be the Rain's Vector that define its velocity and the adjacent will be the Car's Velocity Vector.

Tan(72°) = Rain's Velocity / Car's Velocity

We can searching for the Rain's Velocity

Tan(72°) * Vc = Rain's Velocity

Rain's Velocity = 116.926 km/h

The height of a helicopter above the ground is given by h = 3.15t3, where h is in meters and t is in seconds. At t = 2.10 s, the
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The mailbag will take 2.44 seconds to reach the ground.

Explanation:

The height of a helicopter above the ground is given by:

h = 3.15\times t^3

Height of helicopter at t = 2.10 seconds

h(2.10 )=3.15\times (2.10 )^3 m=29.17 m

The helicopter releases a small mailbag from the height of 29.17 m.

The initial velocity of mailbag = u = 0 m/s

Duration in which mailbag will reach the ground = T

Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s^2

Using second equation of motion ;

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

We have , s = 29.17

u = 0 m/s

t = T

29.17m=0 m/s\times T+\frac{9.8 m/s^2\times T^2}{2}

Solving for T, we gte :

T = 2.44 seconds

The mailbag will take 2.44 seconds to reach the ground.
