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

Radio waves have a longer wavelength than microwaves. What else is true<br> about radio waves?
Dennis_Churaev [7]

As it was explained in the Introductory Article on the Electromagnetic Spectrum, electromagnetic radiation can be described as a stream of photons, each traveling in a wave-like pattern, carrying energy and moving at the speed of light. In that section, it was pointed out that the only difference between radio waves, visible light and gamma rays is the energy of the photons. Radio waves have photons with the lowest energies. Microwaves have a little more energy than radio waves. Infrared has still more, followed by visible, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays.

That should be able to help answer your question :)

Two parallel conducting plates are separated by 9.2 cm, and one of them is taken to be at a potential of zero volts.What is the
True [87]

Answer:

E=54V/cm

\Delta V=496.8V between the plates.

Explanation:

The equation for change of voltage between two points separated a distance d inside parallel conducting plates (<em>which have between them constant electric field</em>) is:

\Delta V=Ed

So to calculate our electric field strength we use the fact that the potential 8.8 cm from the zero volt plate is 475 V:

E=\frac{\Delta V}{d}=\frac{475 V}{8.8cm}=54V/cm

And we use the fact that the plates are 9.2cm apart to calculate the voltage between them:

\Delta V=Ed=(54V/cm)(9.2cm)=496.8V

when approaching the front of an idling jet engine, the hazard area extends forward of the engine approximately
Dominik [7]

when approaching the front of an idling jet engine, the hazard area extends forward of the engine approximately 25 feet.

<h3>What impact, if any, would jet fuel and aviation gasoline have on a turbine engine?</h3>

Tetraethyl lead, which is present in gasoline, deposits itself on the turbine blades. Because jet fuel has a higher viscosity than aviation gasoline, it may retain impurities with greater ease.

Once the gasoline charge has been cleared, start the engine manually or with an electric starter while cutting the ignition and using the maximum throttle.

On the final approach, the aeroplane needs to be re-trimmed to account for the altered aerodynamic forces. A substantial nose-down tendency results from the airflow producing less lift on the wings and less downward force on the horizontal stabiliser due to the reduced power and slower velocity.

Explain how machines can be useful if the output is always less than the input work
Anni [7]

Because: Some of the work done by the machine is used to overcome the friction created by the use of the machine. ... Work output can never be greater than work input. Machines allow force to be applied over a greater distance, which means that less force will be needed for the same amount of work.
