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°

The near point of a person's eye is 71.4 cm. To see objects clearly at a distance of 24.0 cm, what should be the focal length an
yuradex [85]

Answer:

The focal length of the appropriate corrective lens is 35.71 cm.

The power of the appropriate corrective lens is 0.028 D.

Explanation:

The expression for the lens formula is as follows;

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}

Here, f is the focal length, u is the object distance and v is the image distance.

It is given in the problem that the given lens is corrective lens. Then, it will form an upright and virtual image at the near point of person's eye. The near point of a person's eye is 71.4 cm. To see objects clearly at a distance of 24.0 cm, the corrective lens is used.

Put v= -71.4 cm and u= 24.0 cm in the above expression.

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{24}+\frac{1}{-71.4}

\frac{1}{f}=0.028

f= 35.71 cm

Therefore, the focal length of the corrective lens is 35.71 cm.

The expression for the power of the lens is as follows;

p=\frac{1}{f}

Here, p is the power of the lens.

Put f= 35.71 cm.

p=\frac{1}{35.71}

p=0.028 D

Therefore, the power of the corrective lens is 0.028 D.

100 joule of heat produced each 1 secomd on 4ohm find the potential difference ​
irakobra [83]

Answer:

20 V

Explanation:

Power is 100 J/s or 100 W.

We know that P = IV = \frac{V^{2} }{R} .

Isolate the potential difference. V = \sqrt{RP} = \sqrt{100 * 4} = 20 V

The electrons in the beam of a television tube have an energy of 19.0 keV. The tube is oriented so that the electrons move horiz
igomit [66]

Answer:

The direction is due south

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The energy of the electron is E = 19.0keV = 19.0 *10^3 eV

      The earths magnetic field is B = 42.3 \muT = 42.3 *10^{-6} T

     

Generally the force on the electron is perpendicular to the velocity of the elecrton and the magnetic field and this is mathematically reresented as

          \= F = q (\= v * \=B)

On the first uploaded image is an  illustration of the movement of the electron

    Looking at the diagram  we can see that in terms of direction  the magnetic force  is

             \= F  =q(\=v * \= B)= -( -\r i * - \r k)

                = -(- (\r i * \r k))

generally  i cross k = -j

      so the equation above becomes

             \= F = -(-(- \r j))

                = - \r j

This show that the direction is towards the south
