Answer:

Average speed of passenger jet

$s = 471.48\ mi/hr$

Explanation:

Let s be the average speed of the passenger jet.

Given:

Distance from one airport to another airport $d = 1273\ mi$

Total time taken $t = 2.7\ hr$

We need to find the average speed of the passenger jet.

Solution:

Average speed formula:

The ratio of the total distance travelled by the object to the time taken to cover that distance.

$Average\ speed = \frac{Total\ distance\ travelled}{Total\ time\ taken}$

$s = \frac{d}{t}$

Substitute total distance and time value in above equation.

$s = \frac{1273}{2.7}$

$s = 471.48\ mi/hr$

Therefore, the average speed of the passenger jet is $s = 471.48\ mi/hr$ .

Which of the following processes DOES NOT occur during the convective transfer of heat within a container of air? Group of answe

vovangra [49]

The volume of a warmed part of the air is reduced and its density increases.

Explanation:

In a convective form of heat transfer, the volume of a warmed part of air is not reduced and its density does not increase.

During convection, heat causes the warm part of the air to expand and its volume increases. When volume increases, density is reduced.

Convection is a form of heat transfer that involves the actual movement of particles of the medium.
It usually occurs in fluids i.e gases and liquids.
In convection, the cold part exerts a buoyant force on the warmer air below and causes it to rise.
As the warmer part is rising the cooler part replaces it and a convective cell is formed in the process.

URGENT!!! DUE AT 11:59, PLEASE DON’T POST A LINK FOR THIS ANSWER AND BE STRAIGHT FORWARD! Bronco the skydiver, whose mass is 100

kirill [66]

a = 7.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

Let Fnet = net force = ma

m = mass of the skydiver

a = acceleration caused by Fnet

W = weight = mg

f(air) = frictional force due to air resistance

Fnet = W - f(air)

= (100 kg)(9.8 m/s^2) - (200 N)

= 780 N

Therefore, the acceleration of the skydiver due to Fnet is

a = Fnet/m

= (780 N)/(100 kg)

= 7.8 m/s^2

A point charge (–5.0 µC) is placed on the x axis at x = 4.0 cm, and a second charge (+5.0 µC) is placed on the x axis at x = –4.

AveGali [126]

Answer:

The magnitude of electric force is $7.2\times10^{-3} N$

Explanation:

Coulomb's Law:

The force of attraction or repletion is

directly proportional to the products of charges i.e $F\propto q_1q_2$

inversely proportional to the square of distance i.e $F\propto \frac{1}{r^2}$

$\therefore F\propto \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}$

$\Rightarrow F=k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}$ [ k is proportional constant=9×10⁹N m²/C²]

There are two types of force applied on Q=+2.5 μC=2.5×10⁻⁶ C

Let F₁ force be applied on Q =+2.5 μC by q₁= -5.0 μC = - 5.0×10⁻⁶ C

and F₂ force be applied on Q=+2.5 μC by q₂= 5.0 μC= 5.0×10⁻⁶ C

Since the magnitude of F₁ and F₂ are same. Therefore their y component cancel.

If we draw a line from q₁ to Q .

The it forms a triangle whose base = 4.0 cm and altitude =3.0 cm.

Let hypotenuse = r

Therefore, $r=\sqrt{altitude^2+base^2} =\sqrt{3^2+4^2} =5$

we know,

$cos \theta = \frac{base }{hypotenuse}$

$\Rightarrow cos \theta = \frac{4 }{r}$

Total force $F_Q = 2.F_1 cos\theta \hat{i}$

$=2k\frac{Qq_1}{r^2} cos\theta \hat i$

$=2\ \frac{9\times1 0^9\times2.5 \times 5\times 10^{-12}}{r^2} \frac{4}{r} \hat i$

$=8\ \frac{9\times10^9\times2.5 \times 5\times 10^{-12}}{5^3} \hat i$ [ r=5]

$=7.2\times10^{-3}\hat i$ N

The magnitude of electric force is $7.2\times10^{-3} N$

If a population is growing what can you conclude about the ammount of resources available

Elodia [21]

Answer:

Generally speaking, as the human population grows, our consumption of natural resources increases. More humans consume more freshwater, more land, more clothing, etc. ... For example, natural gas plants have become increasingly more efficient, thus humans are able to obtain more energy out of the same amount of gas.

Rapid population growth is detrimental to achieving economic and social progress and to sustainable management of the natural resource base. But there remains a sizeable gap between the private and social interest in fertility reduction, and this gap needs to be narrowed.
