Answer:

(B) L=W; F=D

Explanation:

Since the airplane's velocity is constant, the airplane is not accelerating in any direction. In absence of acceleration, all forces acting on the plane are balanced so that the net forces in the horizontal and the vertical directions are zero. Given the drawing, this implies that

Forward force = Drag force (F=D)

Weight = Lift (W=L)

which corresponds to option (B)

(it is not C because nothing in the text says that the vertical and horizontal components have to have same magnitude)

Sidana [21]
The volume of the cylinder is: 
V= pi* (r^2) * h. 

So the volume is = pi * (5.7/2)^2 * 12 = 306.2 in^2. 
Since it is scaled up by the factor of 1.5, so we have to multiply each dimension with 1.5. 
That means the diameter will be 8.55 and the height will be 18. so the scaled up volume will be

=pi * ((5.7*1.5)/2)^2 * (12*1.5)

The answer then would have to be 1033.5

Which of these would NOT produce visible light? A) flint B) lightning C) microwave D) sun
ioda

Answer:

A microwave

Explanation

The human retina can only detect incident light that falls in waves 400 to 720 nanometers long, so we can't see microwave or ultraviolet wavelengths. This also applies to infrared lights which has wavelengths longer than visible and shorter than microwaves, thus being invisible to the human eye.
