Answer:

V_{A/E}=55.23km/h\\or\\V_{A/E}=15.342m/s

Explanation:

The velocity of plane relative to earth is given by:

V_{P/E}=\frac{d}{t}\\V_{P/E}=\frac{[-121i-20j]km}{0.490h}  \\V_{P/E}=[-247i-41j]km/h

As the from given data.The velocity of plane relative to air is:

V_{P/A}=[-210i]km/h

According to relative motion of velocity of the air relative to earth given by:

V_{A/E}=V_{P/E}-V_{P/A} \\V_{A/E}=[(-247i-41j)km/h]-(-210i)km/h\\V_{A/E}=[-37i-41j]km/h\\

The magnitude is given as:

V_{A/E}=\sqrt{(37)^{2}+(41)^{2}  }\\ V_{A/E}=55.23km/h\\or\\V_{A/E}=15.342m/s

Answer:

55km/h , 47.87° south west or 227.87°

Explanation:

If there is no wind then the plane would be at a distance

d=(210 km/h)(0.49h) = 102.9 km west of the starting point.

if the wind is blown then then the plane is 121 km - 102.9 km = 18.1 km west and 20 km south in the time 0.49 h.

Velocity of the plane in west direction=(18.1 km) / 0.49 h = 36.9 km/h

velocity of the plane in south direction=(20 km) / 0.49 h = 40.8 km/h

Now the wind velocity is

\sqrt{(36.9^2 + 40.8^2}

= 55.01 km/h

The direction is

θ =tan⁻¹ (40.8 / 36.9)

θ = 47.87° south west or 227.87°

Who’s has bigger cross sectional area capillaries or aorta?
Natalka [10]

Answer:

Even though the cross-sectional area of each capillary is extremely small compared to that of the large aorta, the total cross-sectional area of all the capillaries added together is about 1,300 times greater than the cross-sectional area of the aorta because there are so many capillaries

Two electrons in a vacuum exert force of F = 3.8E-09 N on each other. They are then moved such that they are separated by x = 8.
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

F_n = 5.65E-11 N

d =  1.20682E-31 m

Explanation:

F = 3.8E-09 N

where

m = Mass of electron = 9.109E−31 kilograms

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67E-11 m³/kgs²

x = Distance between them

F=G\frac{m^2}{x^2}\\\Rightarrow 3.8E-09=G\frac{m^2}{x^2}

For F_n

F_n=G\frac{m^2}{x^2}\\\Rightarrow F_n=G\frac{m^2}{(8.2x)^2}\\\Rightarrow F_n=G\frac{m^2}{67.24x^2}

Dividing the above equations we get

\frac{F}{F_n}=\frac{G\frac{m^2}{x^2}}{G\frac{m^2}{67.24x^2}}\\\Rightarrow \frac{F}{F_n}=67.24\\\Rightarrow F_n=\frac{F}{67.24}\\\Rightarrow F_n=\frac{3.8E-09}{67.24}\\\Rightarrow F_n=5.65E-11\ N

F_n = 5.65E-11 N

F=G\frac{m^2}{x^2}\\\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{\frac{Gm^2}{F}}\\\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{\frac{G}{F}}m\\\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{\frac{6.67E-11}{3.8E-09}}9.109E-31\\\Rightarrow x=1.20682E-31\ m

d =  1.20682E-31 m

How long does a player sit out of a game of handball for committing a second or third foul?
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Walking’ - If a handball player takes more than three steps without dribbling (bouncing the ball) or holds the ball for more than 3 seconds without bouncing it, shooting or passing, then that is deemed ‘walking' and possession is lost.

'Double dribble’ - Handball players cannot receive the ball and bounce it, then hold the ball, and bounce it again. This is termed ‘double dribble’ and is against the rules.

A light wave travels through air in equals 1.00 at an angle of 35 degrees what angle does it have when it passes from the air in
lyudmila [28]

Answer: Angle 59 degree

Explanation: Given that the

n1 = 1.0

n2 = 1.5

Øi = 35 degree

From Snell law, which says that

n1/n2 = sinØ1/ sinØ2

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

1/1.5 = sin 35/sinØ2

Cross multiply

Sin Ø2 = 1.5 sin35

SinØ2 = 1.5 × 0.573 = 0.860

Ø2 = sin^-1(0.860)

Ø2 = 59.36 degree

Ø2 = 59 degree ( approximately)

It has angle 59 degree when passing from air to glass
