If an airplane is flying at 300 km/h to the east and is facing a headwind of 18.0 km/h, the final velocity can be calculated using simple vector addition. In this case, the planes velocity is positive (+330 km/h) and head wind has a negative component (-18.0 km/h). Vector addition yields +330 km / h + (-18.0 km /h) = 312 km / h.
Answer:
the charge of the particle is 2.47 x 10⁻¹⁹ C
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the particle, m = 6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg
velocity of the particle, v = 8.7 x 10⁵ m/s
strength of the magnetic field, B = 1.3 T
radius of the circle, r = 18 mm = 1.8 x 10⁻³ m
The magnetic force experienced by the charge is calculated as;
F = ma = qvB
where;
q is the charge of the particle
a is the acceleration of the charge in the circular path
Therefore, the charge of the particle is 2.47 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

Answer:</h2>
0.126m
<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
According to Hooke's law, the force (F) acting on a spring to cause an extension or compression (e) is given by;
F = k x e -------------------(i)
Where;
k = the spring's constant.
From the question, the force acting on the spring is the weight(W) of the mass. i.e
F = W -----------------------(ii)
<em>But;</em>
W = m x g;
where;
m = mass of the object
g = acceleration due to gravity [usually taken as 10m/s²]
<em>From equation (ii), it implies that;</em>
F = W = m x g
<em>Now substitute F = m x g into equation(i) as follows;</em>
F = k x e
m x g = k x e ------------------(iii)
<em>From the question;</em>
m = m1 = 3.5kg
k = 278N/m
<em>Substitute these values into equation (iii) as follows;</em>
3.5 x 10 = 278 x e
35 = 278e
<em>Now solve for e;</em>
e = 35/278
e = 0.126m
Therefore, the distance the spring is stretched from its unstretched length (which is the same as the extension of the spring) is 0.126m
First of all, looks like your teacher is indeed pretty horrible. Secondly, the constraints to consider would be proper weight distribution, methods to minimize excessive motion of the building structure, and quantities such as volume and density, which would help in determining the optimal structure. Keeping the frequency of oscillation for a building low in case of an earthquake or natural disaster would also be a priority.
