An airplane cruises at 900 km/h relative to the air. It is flying from Denver, Colorado, due west to Reno, Nevada, a distance of

1200 km, and will then return. There is a steady 80 km/h wind blowing to the east.What is the difference in flight time between the two legs of the trip?

Answer:

26.5 minutes

Explanation:

When the airplane is flying due West from Denver to Reno, the due-East wind with speed of 80km/h would reduce the ground speed by 80 km/h.

Its Denver to Reno ground speed is 900 - 80 = 720 km/h

The time it takes to cover 1200km at this speed is 1200 / 720 = 1.67 hours

On the other hand, when it returns from Reno to Denver in the due-East direction, the due-East wind with speed of 80km/h would add to the ground speed by 80 km/h

Its Reno to Denver ground speed is 900 + 80 = 980 km/h

The time it takes to cover 1200 km at this speed is 1200 / 980 = 1.22 hours

The difference it flight time would be 1.67 - 1.22 = 0.44 hours or 26.5 minutes

The electron structures of atoms are not involved in the emission of:
nekit [7.7K]
The correct one is gamma rays. Lets go over them one by one.

Gamma rays are rays that arise from gamma decay, a type of radioactive decay. Often, after another decay, the nucleus is still unstable and it gives off energy in the form of gamma rays to stabilize itself. Hence, gamma rays have nothing to do with the electron structure, only with the nucleus of the atom.

X-rays are the product of accelerating electrons, hence only specific atoms can emit a specific energy of X-rays; similarly for the photoelectric phenomenon, the energy which is needed for photoelectrons to be created depends on the electron structure of the atom (in both cases, it is important to see how strong the bond between electron and atom is).
Finally, spectral lines differ depending on the electron structure of the atoms since electrons with different energies absorb different frequencies of light.

A car traveling with 500,000 J of kinetic energy is brought to a kinetic energy of
allsm [11]

Answer:

33,333.33 N

Explanation:

Given that :

Initial kinetic energy = 500,000 J

Final kinetic energy = 100,000 J

Using the relation :

Force * time = change in momentum (Newton's law)

Force (F) * 0.12 = (500,000 - 100,000)

0.12F = 400,000 J

Force = (400,000 J) / 0.12s

Force = 33333.333

Force = 33,333.33 N
