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.

Your answer:

In Greek mythology, this constellation is related with the time the Olympian gods sought refuge in Egypt. Unfortunately, following their epic fighting with the Titans, peace did not closing for long, as the monster Typhon, son of the Titan Tartarus and Earth, sought revenge. Typhon was once a fearsome fire-breathing creature, taller than mountains and with palms which possessed dragons' heads in region of fingers. The Olympian gods sought to break out by way of adopting a number disguises: Zeus, a ram - Hera, a white cow, Bacchus (another model of the fable suggests Pan) a goat. As Typhon approached, Bacchus/Pan threw himself into the Nile but, in a panic, solely succeeded in altering part of his body, ending up with a goat's physique and the tail of a fish. Meanwhile, Zeus had been dismembered via Typhon, however was saved when Bacchus/Pan let out an ear-splitting yell, distracting the monster lengthy ample for an agile Hermes to gather the supreme god's limbs and cautiously fix him. In gratitude, Zeus transferred Bacchus/Pan to the heavens.

A 150kg person stands on a compression spring with spring constant 10, 000 N/m and norminal.Length of 0.50.What is the togal len

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Total length of spring 0.647 m

Explanation:

We have given mass of the person m = 150 kg

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.8m/sec^2$

Spring constant k = 10000 N/m

Nominal length of spring = 0.50

According to hook's law

$mg=kx$

$150\times 9.8=10000\times x$

x = 0.147 m

So total length of spring = 0.50+0.147 = 0.647 m

1. Meiosis has 2 cell divisions but mitosis has only one cell division. Meiosis I is same as mitosis because parent cell produces diploid cells. But the difference between meiosis and mitosis is after the complete process meiosis produces genetically different haploid daughter cells and mitosis produces genetically same diploid daughter cells.

2. The main advantage of the sexual reproduction is It helps to produce offspring which can be well adapted to the environmental conditions due to the genetically differentiations. Hence, there are various types of offspring in the population. But the disadvantage is it requires two parents and it requires more time than asexual reproduction.

3. Advantages of asexual reproduction are it requires only parent, time for the process is relatively low, it produces genetically identical offspring. The main disadvantage is due to the production of genetically identical offspring, the survival rate is low when there is a disaster.

4. The organism can do either sexual reproduction or asexual reproduction to produce offspring. If it is difficult to find a partner to mate, the living being can do asexual reproduction to make offspring in a short period of time. When the organism needs genetically different offspring for survival, they can do sexual reproduction.

Which requires more energy, making soup or making toast? Explain.

➪ Making toast requires more energy according to my knowledge because soup is liquid and in liquids the particles move freely and allows heat to transfer more quickly in it. Thus, Soup is made quicker and hence requires less energy whereas a toast (piece of bread) is solid and particles are tightly packed thus they need more energy to get cooked.

What are advantages of double glazed windows?

➪ Double glazed windows are air tight and are sealed properly. They cannot be broken easily which makes it more safe. Double glazed windows reduce the amount of moisture on your window panes, as the airtight seal prevents the condensation from building up. And no condensation means the house will be warmer.

When poor people are forced to sleep outdoors in cold weather, they sometimes use newspapers for blankets. What good is this? Why?

➪ They use newspapers because they have very minute holes in it which have air trapped and that trapped air is bad conductor of heat which does not allow the heat of body to flow outside and keeps them warm.

Why are loose fitting clothes more comfortable than the tight fitting clothes in hot climates?

➪ Loose-fitting clothes allow air to pass through and allows the heat of body to flow out which makes us feel cool whereas tight fitting clothes are touched with skin and does not allow the air to pass through the pores. Thus, making loose clothes more comfortable in hot climates.

How does a thermos flask keep food hot?

➪ A thermos flask does not have any pores or holes in the outer surfacs or inner surface which creates a vaccum inside the flask and does not allow heat to escape. Hence, keeping the food hot for very long time.
