Answer:

B. The wind is blowing at 20 m/s. The airplane is flying with the wind at 130 m/s.

Explanation:

From Physics we get that resultant velocity of an airplane is the sum of an absolute velocity and a relative velocity, that is:

\vec v_{A} = \vec v_{W}+\vec v_{A/W} (Eq. 1)

Where:

\vec v_{W} - Wind velocity, measured in meters per second.

\vec v_{A/W} - Airplance velocity relative to wind, measured in meters per second.

\vec v_{A} - Airplane velocity, measured in meters per second.

If we assume that \vec v_{W} = 20\,\hat{i}\,\,\,\left[\frac{m}{s} \right] (The airplane flies with the wind), \vec v_{A/W} = 130\,\hat{i}\,\,\,\left[\frac{m}{s} \right], then the resultant velocity of the airplane is:

\vec v_{A} = 20\,\hat{i}+130\,\hat{i}\,\,\,\left[\frac{m}{s} \right]

\vec v_{A} = 150\,\hat{i}\,\,\,\left[\frac{m}{s} \right]

Therefore, correct answer is B.

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

a) 11 m/s

b) 0.0564 s

Explanation:

Given:

m = 2100 kg

vi = 22 ..... m/s before collision

vf = 0 ......after collision to stop

Δs = 0.62   distance traveled after collision .. crumpling of truck

Part a

V_{avg} = \frac{vi- vf}{2}\\\\V_{avg} = \frac{22- 0}{2}\\\\ V_{avg} = 11 m/s

Part b

vf = vi + a*t\\vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a*s\\\\0 = 22 + a*t\\t = -22 /a\\\\0 = 484 +2*a*(0.62)\\a = - 390.3232 m/s^2\\\\t = -22/(-390.3232)\\\\t = 0.0564 s

wite a paragraph explaining the difference between things that have matter and things that don't have matter.
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer: Matter is how much space or opacity an object takes up. In short anything that take up space. Things like balls, trees, and even people are all made of matter. Mass is how much matter a object has. Air also has mass also, even though we can't see it. Things like cars, buildings, even planets have mass.

Explanation: Paragraphs are sometimes 4-6 sentences.
