a plane is flying due east in still air at 395 km/h. suddenly, the plane is hit by wind blowing at 55km/h toward the west. what

is the resultant velocity of the plane

Let's be clear:  The plane's "395 km/hr" is speed relative to the
air, and the wind's "55 km/hr" is speed relative to the ground.

Before the wind hits, the plane moves east at 395 km/hr relative
to both the air AND the ground.

After the wind hits, the plane still maintains the same air-speed.
That is, its velocity relative to the air is still 395 km/hr east.
But the wind vector is added to the air-speed vector, and the
plane's velocity <span>relative to the ground drops to 340 km/hr east</span>.

A car initially traveling at 24 m/s slams on the brakes and moves forward 196 m before coming to a complete halt. What was the m
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

-1.47 m/s^2

Explanation:

We can use the following SUVAT equation to solve the problem:

v^2 - u^2 = 2ad

where

v = 0 is the final velocity of the car

u = 24 m/s is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

d = 196 m is the displacement of the car before coming to a stop

Solving the equation for a, we find the acceleration:

a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2d}=\frac{0-(24)^2}{2(196)}=-1.47 m/s^2

A mass spectrometer applies a voltage of 2.00 kV to accelerate a singly charged positive ion. A magnetic field of B = 0.400 T th
N76 [4]

The mass of the ion is 5.96 X 10⁻²⁵ kg

<u>Explanation:</u>

The electrical energy given to the ion Vq will be changed into kinetic energy \frac{1}{2}mv^2

As the ion moves with velocity v in a magnetic field B then the magnetic Lorentz force Bqv will be balanced by centrifugal force \frac{mv^2}{r}.

So,

Vq = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

and

Bqv = \frac{mv^2}{r}

Right from these eliminating v, we can derive

m = \frac{B^2r^2q}{2V}

On substituting the value, we get:

m = \frac{(0.4)^2X (0.305)^2 X1.602X 10^-^1^9}{2X 2000}\\\\

m = 5.96 X 10⁻²⁵ kg.

If the atoms of one object (initially neutral) have electrons rubbed off through friction with a second object, the first object

Positive. The 1st object loses electrons and will thus have an imbalance of charge with loss of electrons.

According to general relativity, light : travels along a curve due to length contraction
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

travels along a curve due to uniform gravity

Explanation:

General relativity

The theory was developed by Albert Einstein , it is the theory of gravitation , according to which , the gravitation effect which is observed between the masses , is the resultant of their warping of the space time .

In general relativity , the equivalence principle is the equivalence of inertial gravitational mass .

According to which , the light bends due to gravitational forces ,therefore ,  the light travels along a curve because of uniform gravity .
