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 green ball has a mass of 0.525 kg and a blue ball has a mass of 0.482 kg. A croquet player strikes the green ball and it gains
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

v' = 1.21 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of a green ball, m = 0.525 kg

Mass of a blue ball, m' = 0.482 kg

Initial velocity of green ball, u = 2.26 m/s

Initial velocity of blue ball, u' = 0 (at rest)

After the collision,

The final velocity of the green ball, v = 1.14 m/s

We need to find the final velocity of the blue ball after the collision if the collision is head on. Let v' is the final velcity of the blue ball. Using the conservation of momentum to find it :

mu+m'u'=mv+m'v'\\\\0.525 (2.26)+0=0.525 (1.14)+0.482v'\\\\0.588=0.482v'\\\\v'=\dfrac{0.588}{0.482}\\\\v'=1.21\ m/s

So, the final velocity of the blue ball is 1.21 m/s.

vector A makes equal angles with x,y and z axis. value of its components (in terms of magnitude of vector A will be?
kiruha [24]
X^2+y^2+z^2=A^2
But here XY and Z are all equal so
3X^2=A^2
X=A/(sqrt(3))
Each component is the value of a divided by the square root of three. This way if you square then and add them up it equals a squared

An AC voltage is applied to a purely capacitive circuit. Just as the applied voltage is crossing the zero axis going negative, w
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

The Ic will be zero.

Explanation:

Capacitors have a working principal as follows:

  • As the current flows through the circuit, they store the electrical energy according to certain attributes they have such as the area of the plates and the material's capacitence in between the plates.

An AC voltage increases and decreases between certain maximum and minimum points periodically. So while the AC voltage is on the positive side, the capacitor charges up and when the AC voltage crosses to the negative side, the capacitor takes over and it's current starts increasing as the current coming from the AC source decreases.

So in this case, as the AC voltage crosses zero, the capacitor current was decreasing because the AC voltage was on the positive side and it was charging. The capacitor current will be zero as well and it will start to increase when AC voltage is on the negative.

I hope this answer helps.
