An airplane flies 33 m/s due east while experiencing a tailwind

Physics
1 answer:
Mazyrski [523]2 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

Use Pythagorean theorem.

v² = vₓ² + vᵧ²

(35.11 m/s)² = (33 m/s)² + vᵧ²

vᵧ = 12 m/s

The big bang theory has finally answered one of the biggest questions of science—the origin of the universe.
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

According to the big bang theory, matter was an infinitely small and very high density point which at one point exploded and expanded in all directions, creating what we know as our Universe, which also includes space and time . This happened about 13.8 billion years ago. Theoretical physicists have managed to reconstruct this chronology of events from 1/100 of a second after the Big Bang. After the explosion, while the Universe expanded, it cooled sufficiently and the first subatomic particles were formed: Electrons, Positrons, Mesons, Barions, Neutrinos, Photons among others. Today more than 90 particles are known. This theory solves many unknowns and is very well received by the scientific community, however there is still much to solve, for example, one of the great unsolved scientific problems in the expanding Universe model is whether the Universe is open or closed.

An attempt to solve this problem is to determine if the average density of matter in the Universe is greater than the critical value in Friedmann's model. The mass of a galaxy can be measured by observing the movement of its stars; multiplying the mass of each galaxy by the number of galaxies, it is seen that the density is only 5 to 10% of the critical value.

Achilles and the tortoise are having a race. The tortoise can run 1 mile (or whatever the Hellenic equivalent of this would be)
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Surely Achilles will catch the Tortoise, in 400 seconds

Explanation:

The problem itself reduces the interval of time many times, almost reaching zero. However, if we assume the interval constant, then it is clear that in two hours Achilles already has surpassed the Tortoise (20 miles while the Tortoise only 3).

To calculate the time, we use kinematic expression for constant speed:

x_{final}=x_{initial}+t_{tor}v_{tor}=1+t_{tor}\\x_{final}=x_{initial}+t_{ach}v_{ach}=10t_{ach}

The moment that Achilles catch the tortoise is found by setting the same final position for both (and same time as well, since both start at the same time):

1+t=10t\\t=1/9 hour=0.11 hours

Write a statement about the relationship between
Alex17521 [72]

<u><em>Answer:Just as wavelength and frequency are related to light, they are also related to energy. The shorter the wavelengths and higher the frequency corresponds with greater energy. So the longer the wavelengths and lower the frequency results in lower energy.</em></u>

<u><em /></u>

Explanation:So, if the wavelength of a light wave is shorter, that means that the frequency will be higher because one cycle can pass in a shorter amount of time. ... That means that longer wavelengths have a lower frequency. Conclusion: a longer wavelength means a lower frequency, and a shorter wavelength means a higher frequency!

<em>Extra explanation: All waves can be defined in terms of their frequency and intensity. c = λν expresses the relationship between wavelength and frequency.</em>

I need help with 2 questions . Please help c:
dezoksy [38]
A) According to the nebular theory, the Solar System formed from a huge gaseous nebula which at a certain point was perturbated. Atoms and molecules started colliding, forming planetesimals (a sort of big rocks). The planetesimals were attracted to each other by gravity, forming bigger warm almost spherical objects called protoplanets, which at the end cooled down forming planets.
Therefore the correct answer is "all of the above".

b) The planets closer to the Sun were (and still are) subject to higher temperatures, due to their close distance to the Sun. In these conditions, rocky materials undergo condensation, while iced gaseous materials undergo vaporization. In the outer parts of the Solar System temperatures are too low to allow these transformations.
The correct answer is again "all of the above".
