6^2 + 8^2 = 36 + 64 = 100

sqrt(100) = 10 m/s northwest

The correct answer to the question is : 10 m/s , northwest.

EXPLANATION:

As per the question, the velocity of wind V = 8 m/s towards north.

      The velocity of the paper airplane is V' = 6 m/s towards west.

We are asked to calculate the actual velocity of the airplane.

By putting Pythagorean theorem, the actual velocity of the airplane is calculated as -

                  V_{net}^2 =\ V^2+V'^2

                ⇒  V_{net}^2=\ 6^2+8^2

                ⇒  V_{net}^2\ =\ 100

                ⇒  V_{net}=\ \sqrt{100}\ m/s

                ⇒  V_{net}=\ 10\ m/s  towards northeast.

Hence, the correct answer is 10 m/s , northwest.

As you stand by the side of the road, a car approaches you at a constant speed, sounding its horn, and you hear a frequency of 8
kap26 [50]

Answer: velocity of the car is 113.33m/s

Explanation:

From Doppler effect,

in the case which the source is moving towards the observer at rest

f2 = v/(v-vs) *f1

where f2 is the final observed frequency

f1 is the initial observed frequency

v = 340m/s (speed of sound in air)

vs = velocity of the source of sound.

rearranging the above equation

f2*(v - vs) = f1* v

vs = (f1* v/f2) - v

but f1 = 80Hz

f2 = 60Hz

v = 340m/s

substituting,

vs = (80 x 340)/60 - 340

vs = 453.33 - 340

vs = 113.33m/s

velocity of the car is 113.33m/s

1. A soccer ball is kicked horizontally off a cliff with an initial speed of 8 m/s and lands 16 m from the base of
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Height of cliff = S = 20 m (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity = 8 m/s

Distance s = 16 m

Starting acceleration (a) = 0

Computation:

s = ut + 1/2a(t)²

16 = 8t

t = 2 sec

Height of cliff = S

Gravitational acceleration = 10 m/s

S = 1/2a(t)²

S = 1/2(10)(2)²

Height of cliff = S = 20 m (Approx)
