Answer: the total velocity of the air is 67.69km/h to the north and 35.4km/h to the east.

Explanation: The initial velocity of the plane is 200km/h south (supose that south is our positive x-axis here and east is the positive y-axis)

In one hour, the plane is located 137km away from the initial position, and the position in X is equal to 137km*cos(15°) = 132.33, this means that the velocity in the x axis is equal to 132.33 km/h, knowing that the initial velocity of the plane was 200km in the x-axis, this means that the velocity of the air must be:

132.33km/h - 200km/h = -67.69km/h

km and the position in "y" is equal to 137km*sin(15°) = 35.4km

This means that the velocity of the air in the y-axis is 35.4km/h

So the total velocity of the air is 67.69km/h to the north and 35.4km/h to the east.

Calculate the force needed to bring a 1,019-kg car to rest from a speed of 29 m/s in a distance of 118 m
son4ous [18]
Acceleration = ▵v/▵t
Time = d/v
Fisrt calculate time : ( 118/29 ) = 4 seconds
Then calculate acceleration
A = 29/4 = 7.25 m/s²
Now the force.
Force = mass * acceleration.
F= 1,019 * 7.25
F= 7,387 N

A family car has a mass of 1400 kg. In an accident it hits a wall and goes from a speed of 27 m/s to a standstill in 1. 5 second
madreJ [45]

The force involved is = 25200 Newton

Given the values in the questions,

Mass = 1400 kg

Speed or velocity of the car = 27 m/s

Time is given = 1.5 seconds

According to the formula of force,

⇒ Force = Mass x Acceleration

⇒ Force = 1400 x Acceleration ----- equation 1

Now to calculate the value of acceleration we will use,

⇒ Acceleration = (Velocity or Speed) / Time

⇒ Acceleration = 27 / 1.5

⇒ Acceleration = 18 m/s^{2}

Putting the value of acceleration in equation 1,

⇒ Force = 1400 x 18

⇒ Force = 25200 Newton

Therefore, the force involved is = 25200 Newton

What is the mass of a sample of water that takes 2000 kJ of energy to boil into steam at 373 K? The latent heat of vaporization
GREYUIT [131]

Answer : The mass of a sample of water is, 888.89 grams

Explanation :

Latent heat of vaporization : It is defined as the amount of heat energy released or absorbed when the liquid converted to vapor at atmospheric pressure at its boiling point.

Formula used :

q=L\times m

where,

q = heat = 2000 kJ = 2\times 10^6J       (1 kJ = 1000 J)

L = latent heat of vaporization of water = 2.25\times 10^6J/kg

m = mass of sample of water = ?

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

2\times 10^6J=(2.25\times 10^6J/kg)\times m

m=0.88889kg=888.89g       (1 kg = 1000 g)

Therefore, the mass of a sample of water is, 888.89 grams
