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

A car enters a level, unbanked semi-circular hairpin turn of 100 m radius at a speed of 28 m/s. The coefficient of friction betw
meriva

Answer:

As  28m/s = 28m/s

Explanation:

r = the radius of the curve

m =  the mass of the car

μ = the coefficient of kinetic friction

N = normal reaction

When rounding the curve, the centripetal acceleration is

a = \frac{v^{2}}{r}

therefore

\mu mg = m \frac{v^{2}}{r} \\\\ \mu =  \frac{v^{2}}{rg}

v = \sqrt{\mu rg}

\mu = \sqrt{0.8 \times 100\times9.8} \\\\= 28m/s

As  28m/s = 28m/s

A circuit contains a single 220 pF capacitor hooked across a battery. It is desired to store three times as much energy in a com
Anettt [7]

Answer

The capacitor should be connected in parallel as parallel connection gives the arithmetic sum of capacitance which will give a corresponding sum of energy while capacitors in series gives the sum of the reciprocal if the individual capacitance

A traves de una manguera de 1 in de diámetro fluye gasolina con una velocidad media de 5ft/s ¿cuál es el gasto?
jonny [76]

Answer:

El gasto de gasto es de aproximadamente 0.0273 pies cúbicos por segundo.

Explanation:

El gasto es el flujo volumétrico de gasolina (Q), medido en pies cúbicos por segundo, que sale de la manguera. Asumiendo que la velocidad de salida es constante, tenemos que el gasto a través de la manguera es:

Q = \frac{\pi}{4}\cdot D^{2}\cdot v (1)

Donde:

D - Diámetro de la manguera, medido en pies.

v - Velocidad medida de salida, medida en pies por segundo.

Si sabemos que D = \frac{1}{12}\,ft y v = 5\,\frac{ft}{s }, entonces el gasto de gasolina es:

Q = \frac{\pi}{4}\cdot \left(\frac{1}{12}\,ft \right)^{2} \cdot \left(5\,\frac{ft}{s} \right)

Q \approx 0.0273\,\frac{ft^{3}}{s}

El gasto de gasto es de aproximadamente 0.0273 pies cúbicos por segundo.
