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

Physics

lesya [120]4 years ago

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.

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

the distance traveled by the fish is 3648 m

Explanation:

In general, animals have a small period of acceleration, which we will despise after which they travel at a constant speed so we can use the kinematic equations in uniform motion

   

We reduce the units to System SI

      t = 2 min (60s / 1 min) = 120 s

Calculate

       V = x / t

       x= V t

       x = 30.4 120

       x = 3648 m

 

This is the distance traveled by the fish

What was the major shortcoming of rutherford’s model of the atom?
lisabon 2012 [21]

The major shortcoming of Rutherford's model was that it was incomplete. It did not explain how the atom's negatively charged electrons are distrubuted in the space surronding its positively charged nucleus. A form of energy that exhibits wavelike behavior as it travels through space

A 3-m-high, 7-m-wide rectangular gate is hinged at the top edge and is restrained by a fixed ridge. Determine the hydrostatic fo
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The Hydrostatic force is   F  =  137.2 kN

The location of pressure center is  Z  = 1.333 \ m  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The height of the gate is  h =  3 \ m

     The weight of the gate is  w =  7 \  m

      The height of the water is  h_w  =  2 \ m

       The density of water is \rho_w  =  1000 \ kg/m^3

Note used h_w for height of water and height of gate immersed by water since both have the same value

The area of the gate immersed in water  is mathematically represented as

         A =  h_w  * w

substituting values

         A =  2*  7

         A =  14  \ m^2

The hydrostatic force is mathematically represented as

          F  =  \rho_w * g * h_f * A

Where

            h_f =h-  h_w

           h_f =3 -2

           h_f = 1\ m  

So  

              F  =  1000 * 9.8 * 1 * 14

            F  =  137.2 kN

The center of pressure is mathematically represented as

        Z  =  h_f + \frac{I_g}{h_f * A}

Where I_g is the moment of inertia of the gate which mathematically represented as

            I_g =  \frac{w * h_w^2}{12}

The h_w is the height of gate immersed in water

            I_g =  \frac{7  * 2^2 }{12}

             I_g = 4.667\ kg  m^2

Thus  

        Z  = 1  + \frac{4.66}{1 * 14}

        Z  = 1.333 \ m

1. Have you ever tried to undergo an X- ray to test on youur body? What can you see in the fiom after the examination? Why is th
liraira [26]

Answer:

1) λ < 2d,  2)  nfrared imaging technique, 3) each color there is a different index of refraction

Explanation:

We are going to answer the three questions

1) When x-rays pass through matter in order to be dispersed, their wavelength must be of the order of the length of separation in the atoms and molecules of the body, in solid bones this length is similar and they scatter and reflect the x-rays therefore they can be observed, the fat and the soft tissue have a much greater separation therefore the x-rays cannot be reflected and consequently it is not observable by this technique.

2) At airports they use the infrared imaging technique, where the image is taken for the infrared wavelength, which is the heat part of the electromagnetic spectrum; consequently, when the image is viewed, the hottest areas appear brighter and, since when a person has a virus, his temperature rises, his temperature rises, it is possible to observe people with a higher temperature.

3) when white light hits a prism it is refracted with the equation

            n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where the incidence of refraction depends on the wavelength, therefore for each color there is a different index of refraction and consequently the light is separated in its different colors.
