A seagull flies at a velocity of 9.00 m/s straight into the wind. (a) if it takes the bird 20.0 min to travel 6.00 km relative t

o the earth, what is the velocity of the wind? (b) if the bird turns around and flies with the wind, how long will he take to return 6.00 km? (c) discuss how the wind affects the total round-trip time compared to what it would be with no wind.

Here we will the speed of seagull which is v = 9 m/s

this is the speed of seagull when there is no effect of wind on it

now in part a)

if effect of wind is in opposite direction then it travels 6 km in 20 min

so the average speed is given by the ratio of total distance and total time

v_{avg} = \frac{6000}{20*60}

v_{avg} = 5m/s

now since effect of wind is in opposite direction then we can say

V_{net} = v_{bird} - v_{wind}

5 = 9 - v_{wind}

v_{wind}= 4 m/s

Part b)

now if bird travels in the same direction of wind then we will have

v_{net}= v_{bird} + v_{wind}

v_{net} = 9 + 4 = 13 m/s

now we can find the time to go back

time = \frac{distance}{speed}

time = \frac{6000}{13}

time = 7.7 minutes

Part c)

Total time of round trip when wind is present

T = t_1 + t_2

T = 20 + 7.7 = 27.7 min

now when there is no wind total time is given by

T = \frac{6000}{9} + \frac{6000}{9}

T = 22.22 min

So due to wind time will be more

the deepest point in the sea is 100m below sea level .what arr the water pressure at this depth and the total pressure due to wa
fomenos

The water pressure at this depth and the total pressure due to water and atmosphere are  10.3 x 10⁵ Pa and 11.31× 10⁵ Pa.

<h3>What is pressure?</h3>

The pressure is the amount of force applied per unit area.

Atmospheric pressure, Patm =1.01×10⁵ Pa

Density of water, ρ=1030 kg/m³

Depth, h=100 m

Pressure =ρgh

P = 1030×10×100

P = 10.3 x 10⁵ Pa.

Total pressure, P=Po +ρgh

P=1.01×10⁵ + 1030×10×100

P=11.31× 10⁵ Pa

Hence, total pressure is 11.31× 10⁵ Pa.

What derived unit is used to measure the slope of the line in this graph?
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

C. g/cm³

Explanation:

The slope is measured by calculating the variation of the Y values over the X values between two points on a line.  

So, the formula is: Slope = Δy/Δx

That means that we also take the units.

In this case, the Y-axis unit is in g, while the X-axis unit is in cm³.

Dividing a Y-variation over an X-variation will give you g/cm³.

In this case, let's assume the line passes through (10,100) (not exactly, but close enough for the example), and it passes through (0,0)

So the slope would be: (100-0) g / (10-0) cm³ = 10 g/cm³
