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]3 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.

The general kinematic equations of motion for vertical displacement can also be simplified significantly. Write the simplified
Setler [38]

Answer:

Δy = v₀t + (1/2)gt²

where g = 9.81 m/s if the body is moving downwards and g = -9.81 m/s if the body is moving upwards

Explanation:

The general kinematic equation for horizontal displacement is gives as:

Δx = v₀t + (1/2)at²

Where

Δx = change in the x direction

v₀ = initial velocity

t = time

a = acceleration

If the body is vertically instead of horizontally, Δx is changed to Δy

Δy = v₀t + (1/2)at²

For a vertical moving body, the acceleration it experiences is the gravitational accerelation of the earth 'g'

So the equation becomes:

Δy = v₀t + (1/2)gt²

where g = 9.81 m/s if the body is moving downwards and g = -9.81 m/s if the body is moving upwards

(a) How many kilograms of water must evaporate from a 60.0-kg woman to lower their body temperature by 0.750ºC?
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

69.69 g

Explanation:

Evaporation of water will take out latent heat of vaporization.  Let the mass of water be m and latent heat of vaporization of water be 2260000 J per kg

Heat taken up by evaporating water

= 2260000 x m J

Heat lost by body

= mass x specific heat of body x drop in temperature

60 x 3500 x .750  ( specific heat of human body is 3.5 kJ/kg.k)

= 157500 J

Heat loss = heat gain

2260000 m= 157500

m = .06969 kg

= 69.69 g

Which of the following can be computed?
Musya8 [376]
Answer: only the third option. [Vector A] dot [vector B + vector C]

The dot between the vectors mean that the operation to perform is the "scalar product", alson known as "dot product".

This operation is only defined between two vectors, not one scalar and one vector.

When you perform, in the first option, the dot product of any ot the first and the second vectors you get a scalar, then you cannot make the dot product of this result with the third vector.

For the second option, when you perform the dot product of vectar B with vector C you get a scalar, then you cannot make the dot product ot this result with the vector A.

The third option indicates that you sum the vectors B and C, whose result is a vector and later you make the dot product of this resulting vector with the vector A. Operation valid.

The fourth option indicates the dot product of a scalar with the vector A, which we already explained that is not defined.

It takes 4.0 eV to excite an electron in a box from the ground level to the first excited level. What is the width L of the box?
AveGali [126]

To solve this problem we will use the concept related to electrons in a box which determines the energy of an electron in that state.

Mathematically this expression is given by,

E_n= \frac{n^2h^2}{8mL^2}

Where,

m = mass of an electron

h = Planck's constant

n = is the integer number of the eigenstate

L = Quantum well width

The change in energy must be given in state 1 and 2, therefore

\Delta E = E_2 - E_1

\Delta E = \frac{2^2h^2}{8mL^2}-\frac{1^2h^2}{8mL^2}

\Delta E = \frac{3h^2}{8mL^2}

Replacing we have:

(4*1.6*10^{-19}) = \frac{3(6.626*10^{34})}{8*(9.11*10^{-31})*L^2}

L = 0.53nm

Therefore the correct answer is C.
