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

When three identical bulbs of 60W,200V rating are connected in series at a 200V supply the power drawn by them will be?
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

P = 180 [w]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use ohm's law, which is defined by the following formula.

V = I*R & P = V*I

where:

V = voltage = 200[volts]

I = current [amp]

R = resistance [ohm]

P = power [watts]

Since the bulbs are connected in series, the powers should be summed

P = 60 + 60 + 60

P = 180 [watts]

Now we can calculate the current

I = 180/200

I = 0.9[amp]

Attached is an image where we see the three bulbs connected in series, in the circuit we see that the current is the same for all the elements connected to the circuit.

And the power is defined by P = V*I

we know that the voltage is equal to 200[V], therefore

P = 200*0.9

P = 180 [w]

Alignment of charges at the surface of an object producing an individual charge:​
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Alignment of charges at the surface of an object producing an induced charge is known as POLARIZATION

Explanation:

Polarization is a characteristic of certain electromagnetic radiations in which the direction and magnitude of the vibrating electric field are related in a specific way.

There are four types of Polarization which include

Electronic Polarization

Ionic Polarization

Orientation Polarization

Space Charge Polarization

An object of length 3.00 cm is inside a plastic block with index of refraction 1.40. If the object is viewed from directly above
Lilit [14]
  • The length of its image = -3cm

Given,

length of object, h_o = 3 cm

We know, for flat refracting surface,  

Image distance = object distance

So,

magnification is = -1

length of the image,

h_i = magnification * h_o\\\\h_i = -1 * 3 \\\\h_i = -3cm

Here, negative sign means inverted image.
