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

The Hall effect can be used to calculate the charge-carrier number density in a conductor. A conductor carrying current of 2.0 A
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

option D

Explanation:

given,

A conductor is carrying current = 2.0 A is 0.5 mm thick

Hall voltage = 4.5 x 10-6 V

uniform magnetic field  =  1.2 T

density of the charge = n =?

hall voltage =V_h =\dfrac{i\ B}{n\ e\ L}

n = \dfrac{i\ B}{V\ e\ L}

n = \dfrac{2 \times 1.2 }{4.5 \times 10^{-6}\times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 0.5 \times 10^{-3}}

n = 6.67 × 10²⁷ charges/m

hence the correct answer is option D
