Relative to the Earth, yes; The inside of the airplane acts as its own kind of "world", in which the standard would be moving 500 mph relative to the Earth.  As the fly is moving forward inside, you would add the 500 mph of the plane plus the speed of the fly relative to the plane to get the speed of the fly relative to the Earth.

Any motion is only measurable by comparing it with something else.
In the same frame of reference in which the plane is traveling at 500 mph,
yes, the fly is moving faster than that. But from the point of view of a passenger
on the plane, no it isn't.

Which of the following explains why international travelers need to use special adapters when plugging a device designed to oper
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

The answer is: The increased voltage causes an increase in power usage, and the device will over-heat.

Explanation:

First, we must consider the variables of the electrical system that will allow us to respond. In this case, power, current and voltage, which are related by

P=VI

Where P=Power, V=Voltage, I=Current.

In the equation it can be observed that power is directly proportional to the system voltage. Thus, if the voltage increases as in this case, the power will also increase, which overheats the device and can cause damage to it.

A chevrolet corvette convertible can brake to a stop from a speed of 60.0 mi/h in a distance of 123 ft on a level roadway. what
pychu [463]
By definition we have that the final speed is:
 Vf² = Vo² + 2 * a * d
 Where,
 Vo: Final speed
 a: acceleration
 d: distance.
 We cleared this expression the acceleration:
 a = (Vf²-Vo²) / (2 * d)
 Substituting the values:
 a = ((0) ^ 2- (60) ^ 2) / ((2) * (123) * (1/5280))
 a = -77268 mi / h ^ 2
 its stopping distance on a roadway sloping downward at an angle of 17.0 ° is:
 First you must make a free body diagram and see the acceleration of the car:
 g = 32.2 feet / sec ^ 2
 a = -77268 (mi / h ^ 2) * (5280/1) (feet / mi) * (1/3600) ^ 2 (h / s) ^ 2
 a = -31.48 feet / sec ^ 2
 A = a + g * sin (θ) = -31.48 + 32.2 * sin17.0
 A = -22.07 feet / sec ^ 2
 Clearing the braking distance:
 Vf² = Vo² + 2 * a * d
 d = (Vf²-Vo²) / (2 * a)
 Substituting the values:
 d = ((0) ^ 2- (60 * (5280/3600)) ^ 2) / (2 * (- 22.07))
 d = 175.44 feet
 answer:
 its stopping distance on a roadway sloping downward at an angle of 17.0 ° is 175.44 feet
