A plane is flying to a city 756 km directly north of its initial location. The plane maintains a speed of 203 km/h relative to t

he air during its flight. (a) If the plane flies through a constant headwind blowing south at 53.5 km/h, how much time (in h) will it take to reach the city

Answer:

The answer is 5.05 hours.

Explanation:

If the plane has an airspeed of 203 km/h which only applies for air and not the ground speed, we can subtract the speed of the wind since it is a headwind in the directly opposite direction.

So the speed of the plane becomes 203 - 53.5 = 149.5 km/h which will give us the true airspeed of the plane and the ground speed as well.

From here we can calculate the time it will take to reach the city as

756 km / 149.5 km/h = 5.05 hours.

I hope this answer helps.

Consider a double Atwood machine constructed as follows: A mass 4m is suspended from a string that passes over a massless pulley
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

Hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

Answer : x ( acceleration of mass 4m ) = \frac{g}{7}

The top pulley rotates because it has to keep the center of mass of the system at equilibrium

Explanation:

Given data:

mass suspended = 4 meters

mass suspended at other end = 3 meters

first we have to express the kinetic and potential energy equations

The general kinetic energy of the system can be written as

T = \frac{4m}{2} x^2  + \frac{3m}{2} (-x+y)^2 + \frac{m}{2} (-x-y)^2

T = 4mx^2 + 2my^2 -2mxy  

also the general potential energy can be expressed as

U = -4mgx-3mg(-x+y)-mg(-x-y)+constant=-2mgy +constant

The Lagrangian of the problem can now be setup as

L =4mx^2 +2my^2 -2mxy +2mgy + constant

next we will take the Euler-Lagrange equation for the generalized equations :

Euler-Lagrange  equation = 4x-y =0\\-2y+x +g = 0

solving the equations simultaneously

x ( acceleration of mass 4m ) = \frac{g}{7}

The top pulley rotates because it has to keep the center of mass of the system at equilibrium

How can the atomic number of nitrogen be determined?
Doss [256]

Answer:

So... for the element of NITROGEN, you already know that the atomic number tells you the number of electrons. That means there are 7 electrons in a nitrogen atom. Looking at the picture, you can see there are two electrons in shell one and five in shell two.
