A small aircraft, on a heading of 225°, is cruising at 150 km/h. It is encountering a wind blowing from a bearing of 315° at 35

km/h. Determine the aircraft’s ground velocity.

As we can see in the figure attached here

The velocity of aircraft is given as

v_p = 150 km/h at 225 degree

velocity of wind is given as

v_a = 35 km/h at 315 degree

so here the net velocity of aircraft will be the vector sum of aircraft speed and wind speed

since in the figure we can see that the two speeds are perpendicular to each other

so we can say that the resultant of two speed can be given by using Pythagoras theorem

so we will have

v_{net} = \sqrt{v_a^2 + v_p^2}

v_{net} = \sqrt{150^2 + 35^2}

v_{net} = 154 km/h

so net speed of aircraft will be 154 km/h

Derive a relation between time period anf frequency of a wave
Elza [17]

Answer:

The relation between frequency and time period is given by:

f = 1/T

Explanation:

In a wave motion, the particle move about the mean position with the passage of time. The particles rise to reach the highest point which is crest, and similarly falls to reach the lowest point which is trough. The cycle keeps on repeating.

The time period of the wave can be defined as the time taken to complete one such cycle. Time period is given by:

T = 2π/ω

Frequency can be defined as the number of cycles completed in unit time, which can be taken as the inverse of time period. frequency is given by

f = ω/2π

or

f = 1/T

A crate falls from an airplane flying horizontally at an altitude of 2,000 m.
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

20.2 seconds

Explanation:

The airplane (and therefore the crate) initially has no vertical velocity, so v₀ = 0 m/s.

The crate is in free fall, so a = -9.8 m/s².

The crate falls downward, so Δx = -2000 m.

Find: t, the time it takes for the crate to land.

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

-2000 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 20.2 s

It takes 20.2 seconds for the crate to land.

The US government wants to allocate billions of dollars in the next 10 years to help assure our future energy security. The fund
Tom [10]

This question is a very good one indeed! I am very happy you asked it. I would first like to say that, although energy is important, our planet is more so. That is why I feel like we should always try to explore ideas that are both useful to the human race but also useful in protecting our environment because what is the use in having energy if we will not be able to use it. That is why I feel that we should try at types of energy like solar and wind. The problem is finding ways that are less expensive and more efficient. For example, creating a wind energy system that creates a sizeable about of energy and also is not too expensive and hard to make like the wind turbines of nowadays. Also what comes into question is the effect of these ideas and I feel that although some of these may have harmful effects, they must be used. One thing though is that I do not agree in expanding on our oil and gas exploration because it has so many bad effects to our environment that it is hardly worth it. If we can find alternatives in these other sources, like many states in the USA are trying to do, then we will be able to move much faster in technology and also help protect our lovely planet.
