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.

3.00 textbook rests on a frictionless, horizontal tabletop surface. A cord attached to the book passes over a pulley whose diame
sammy [17]

Answer:

a1 = 3.56 m/s²

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of book on horizontal surface; m1 = 3 kg

Mass of hanging book; m2 = 4 kg

Diameter of pulley; D = 0.15 m

Radius of pulley; r = D/2 = 0.15/2 = 0.075 m

Change in displacement; Δx = Δy = 1 m

Time; t = 0.75

I've drawn a free body diagram to depict this question.

Since we want to find the tension of the cord on 3.00 kg book, it means we are looking for T1 as depicted in the FBD attached. T1 is calculated from taking moments about the x-axis to give;

ΣF_x = T1 = m1 × a1

a1 is acceleration and can be calculated from Newton's 2nd equation of motion.

s = ut + ½at²

our s is now Δx and a1 is a.

Thus;

Δx = ut + ½a1(t²)

u is initial velocity and equal to zero because the 3 kg book was at rest initially.

Thus, plugging in the relevant values;

1 = 0 + ½a1(0.75²)

Multiply through by 2;

2 = 0.75²a1

a1 = 2/0.75²

a1 = 3.56 m/s²

How much heat would be needed to completely evaporate 31.5 g of boiling water at a temperature of 100 "C? Express your answer in
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Heat needed = 71.19 J

Explanation:

Here heat required can be calculated by the formula

            H = mL

M is the mass of water and L is the latent heat of vaporization.

Mass of water, m = 31.5 g = 0.0315 kg

Latent heat of vaporization of water = 2260 kJ/kg

Substituting

            H = mL = 0.0315 x 2260 = 71.19 kJ

Heat needed = 71.19 J

Use the drop-down menus to complete the statement.
Nikitich [7]
Classics.

Resistance is equal to relation between voltage and current.

R = \frac{U}{I}

If we express current:

I = \frac{U}{R}

If current is in fact 0 then one of the quantities either voltage or resistance must be equal to zero. Since resistance cannot be equal 0, because that would violate mathematical law that states that division by zero is undefined the only logical conclusion is voltage.

So the answer should be C voltage and B zero.

Hope this helps!
