Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

520 miles per hour

Explanation:

Let the speed of the Boeing 747 be x miles per hour.

The small airplane covers distance of 780 miles with speed 260 miles per hour.

Also,

After 1.5 hours the Boeing 747 leave the same place and reaches at same time. Both covered distance of 780 miles.

So,

Time taken by Boeing 747 + 1.5 hours = Time taken by small plane.

Also,

Time = Distance/ speed

So,

780 / x + 1.5 = 780/ 260

Solving for x, we get:

x = 520 miles per hour

The gravitational potential energy of a particle of mass m moving under the influence of a fixed mass M is given by - , where G

djverab [1.8K]

-GMm/2r is the total energy of the mass m if it is in a circular orbit about mass M.

Given

A particle of mass m moving under the influence of a fixed mass's M, gravitational potential energy of formula -GMm/r, where r is the separation between the masses and G is the gravitational constant of the universe.

As the Gravity Potential energy of particle = -GMm/r

Total energy of particle = Kinetic energy + Potential Energy

As we know that

Kinetic energy = 1/2mv²

Also, v is equals to square root of GM/r

v = √GM/r

Put the value of v in the formula of kinetic energy

We get,

Kinetic Energy = GMm/2r

Total Energy = GMm/2r + (-GMm/r)

= GMm/2r - GMm/r

= -GMm/2r

Hence, -GMm/2r is the total energy of the mass m if it is in a circular orbit about mass M.

I wish to use a step up transformer to turn an initial RMS AC voltage of 100 V into a final RMS AC voltage of 200 V. What is the

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

1:2

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial RMS AC voltage is 100 V and final RMS AC voltage is 200 V.

We need to find the ratio of the number of turns in the primary to the secondary for step up transformer.

For a transformer, $\dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{N_1}{N_2}$

So,

$\dfrac{N_1}{N_2}=\dfrac{100}{200}\\\\\dfrac{N_1}{N_2}=\dfrac{1}{2}$

So, the ratio of the number of turns in the primary to the secondary is 1:2.

What are 5 examples of balanced and unbalanced forces in your home?

ryzh [129]

Balance:
a book resting on a table
a car driving at 10 miles per hour in constant velocity
a cat sitting on a chair
a bulb that attach to the ceiling
your grandma sleeping on a bed
Unbalance:
your brother sprinting across the kitchen
a ball rolling at 5 m/s^2
your mom trying to run at 2 m/s^2 to spank you
you dropping your coffee mug on a floor
a cat jumping out of your bed
a tear from your eye falling through the floor
Hope this helps
