Answer:

Velocity of airplane is 500 km/h

Velocity of wind is 40 km/h

Explanation:

V_a= Velocity of airplane in still air

V_w= Velocity of wind

Time taken by plane to travel 1150 km against the wind is 2.5 hours

V_a-V_w=\frac {1150}{2.5}\\\Rightarrow V_a-V_w=460\quad (1)

Time taken by plane to travel 450 km against the wind is 50 minutes = 50/60 hours

V_a+V_w=\frac {450}{50}\times 60\\\Rightarrow V_a-V_w=540\quad (2)

Subtracting the two equations we get

V_a-V_w-V_a-V_w=460-540\\\Rightarrow -2V_w=-80\\\Rightarrow V_w=40\ km/h

Applying the value of velocity of wind to the first equation

V_a-40=460\\\Rightarrow V_a =500\ km/h

∴ Velocity of airplane in still air is 500 km/h and Velocity of wind is 40 km/h

A 0.5 kg stone is raised from 1m to 2m height from the ground. what is the change in potential energy of the stone?
Usimov [2.4K]

Given: The mass of stone (m) = 0.5 kg

Raised from heights (h₁) = 1.0 m to (h₂) = 2.0 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

To find: The change in potential energy of the stone

Formula: The potential energy (P) = mgh

where, all alphabets are in their usual meanings.

Now, we shall calculate the change in potential energy of the stone

Δ P = P₂ - P₁ = mg (h₂ - h₁)

or,                = 0.5 kg ×9.8 m/s² ×(2.0 m - 1.0 m)

or,                = 4.9 J

Hence, the required change in the potential energy of the stone will be 4.9 J

A truck moves 70 m east, then moves 120 m west, and finally moves east again a distance of 90 m. If east is chosen as the positi
asambeis [7]

Answer:

140m east

Explanation:

If East is positive then lets rephrase the problem into integers

A truck moves +70 m, then moves -120m, and finally moves +90m.

So totally Displacement = +70-120+90= +140m

Since east is positive, the trucks resultant displacement is 140 m east of origin

You hear a sound in the distance. Suddenly the sound gets deeper, decreasing in pitch. Which can you assume about the sound wave
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

A. The wavelengths of the new sound waves are longer

Explanation:

This is the Doppler effect which can be best illustraded  for the case of a siren of an ambulance approaching us having a greater frequency and getting lower in frequency and deeper as the ambulance passes  us.

Since the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency it follows the wavelengths are longer when the frequency decreases lowering its pitch and getting deeper.
