What is the resultant velocity of a plane that is traveled at 245m/s, north and encounters a tailwind of 55m/s?

For this problem, you should use Pythagorean Theorem.

The formula for this is a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

The plane is moving north, and then moves to the right. Therefore, we need to find the hypotenuse, or resultant velocity. Plugging it into the equation we get, (245 m/s)^2 + (55 m/s)^2 = c^2

Solving for this, you will get 250 m/s.

Students measured the mass of 25.0 mL of water and found it be 25.4 g. The accepted mass is 25.0 g. What is the percent error of
Andre45 [30]
Well first of all, I think the students may have been correct. 
If they didn't use distilled water, and if it wasn't exactly at 
standard temperature, then the mass of  25.0 mL  could
very well be  25.4 grams.  We don't know that there was
any 'error' in their measurement at all.
But the question says there was, so we'll do the math:

The 'error' was  (25.4 - 25.0) = +0.4 gram

As a fraction of the 'real' value, the error was

                            +0.4 / 25.0  =  +0.016 .

To change a decimal to a percent, move the
decimal point two places that way  ===> .

                           + 0.016  =  +1.6 % .

     
Their measurement was 1.6% too high.

Let's not call it an 'error'.  Let's just call it a 'discrepancy'
between the measured value and the 'accepted' value.  OK ?

a rectangular block weighs 240N. The area of the block in contact with the floor is 20cm2 calculate the pressure on the floor
Romashka [77]

Answer:

The pressure on the floor is 12 Pascal(Pa).

Explanation:

Given,

Force (F) = 240N

Area (A) = 20 cm^2

Pressure (P) = ?

we know that,

P = F/A

= 240/ 20

= 12 Pa

What is the best description of the end result of chemical bonding for most
forsale [732]

A. Getting a full set of valence electrons

Explanation:

The best description of the end result of chemical bonding for most atoms is the getting of a full set of valence electrons.

Atoms reacts with one another in order to complete valence electronic shell.

  • The valence electron shell is the outermost energy level of an atom.
  • It is from this energy level that electrons are lost or gained to form bonds.
  • All atoms wants to be like the noble gases whose valence electronic shell is completely filled up
  • This is the crux of chemical bonding
  • The attraction that is produced from the interaction leads to bond formation
