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.

An object accelerating at 16 m/s/s doubles its mass and triples its net force acting on it. What will the new acceleration be? (
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

24 m/s²

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The initial acceleration of the object, a = 16 m/s²

Let 'm' represent the initial mass of the object

The initial force acting on the object, F = m × a

∴ F = 16 × m = 16·m

When the mass is doubled, we have;

The new mass of the object, m₂ = 2 × m = 2·m

When the net force acting on the object triples, we have;

The new net force acting on the object, F₂ = 3 × F = 3 × 16·m = 48·m

From F = m × a, we have;

a = F/m

∴ The new acceleration of the object, a₂ = F₂/m₂

From which, by plugging in the values, we have;

a₂ = 48·m/(2·m) = 24

The new acceleration of the object, a₂ = 24 m/s².

What is the magnitude momentum of a 2 kg body that moves with a speed of 3 m/s? (1 point)
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

<h2>D</h2>

Explanation:

The momentum of an object can be found by using the formula

momentum = mass × velocity

From the question

mass = 2 kg

velocity/speed = 3 m/s

We have

momentum = 2 × 3 = 6

We have the final answer as

<h3>6 kg.m/s</h3>

Hope this helps you
