Answer:

Vj,g = - 224.19 i - 31.72 j

magnitude of velocity = 226.42 m/s

Explanation:

Velocity of jet with respect to air = 260 m/s in 5 degree South of west

Velocity of air with respect to ground = 35 m/s in 15 degree south of east

Write these velocities in vector form

Vj,a = 260 (- Cos 5 i - Sin 5 j) = - 259 i - 22.66 j

Va,g = 35 ( Cos 15 i - Sin 15 j) = 33.81 i - 9.06 j

Velocity of jet with respect to air = velocity of jet with respect to ground -    

                                                         velocity of air with respect to ground

Vj,a = Vj,g - Va,g

Vj,g = Vj,a + Va,g

Vj,g = - 259 i - 22.66 j + 33.81 i - 9.06 j

Vj,g = - 224.19 i - 31.72 j

The magnitude of velocity of jet relative to ground or earth is

= \sqrt{\left ( - 224.19 \right )^{2}+\left ( - 31.72 \right )^{2}}

= 226.42 m/s

Given an electron beam whose electrons have kinetic energy of 10.0 kev , what is the minimum wavelength λmin of light radiated b
kolbaska11 [484]
To answer the problem we would be using this formula which isE = hc/L where E is the energy, h is Planck's constant, c is the speed of light and L is the wavelength 
L = hc/E = 4.136×10−15 eV·s (2.998x10^8 m/s)/10^4 eV 

= 1.240x10^-10 m 

= 1.240x10^-1 nm

A car goes round a curve of radius 48m, the road is banked at an angle of 15 with the horizontal,at what maximum speed may the c
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

11 m/s

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram.  There are two forces acting on the car:

Weigh force mg pulling down

Normal force N pushing perpendicular to the incline

Sum the forces in the +y direction:

∑F = ma

N cos θ − mg = 0

N = mg / cos θ

Sum the forces in the radial (+x) direction:

∑F = ma

N sin θ = m v² / r

Substitute and solve for v:

(mg / cos θ) sin θ = m v² / r

g tan θ = v² / r

v = √(gr tan θ)

Plug in values:

v = √(9.8 m/s² × 48 m × tan 15°)

v = 11.2 m/s

Rounded to 2 significant figures, the maximum speed is 11 m/s.

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

The smallest part of a millimeter that can be read with a digital caliper with a four digit display is 0.02mm. Thus, it has to be converted to centimetre. So, divide by 10, we then have 0.02/10= *0.002cm* not mm.
