Answer:

966 mph

Explanation:

Using as convention:

- East --> positive x-direction

- North --> Positive y-direction

The x- and y- components of the initial velocity of the jet can be written as

v_{1x} = 406 mph\\v_{1y} = 0

While the components of the velocity of the wind are

v_{2x} = (568)(cos 15^{\circ})=548.6 mph\\v_{2y} = (568)(sin 15^{\circ})=147.0 mph

So the components of the resultant velocity of the jet are

v_x = v_{1x}+v_{2x}=406+548.6=954.6 mph\\v_y = v_{1y}+v_{2y}=0+147.0=147.0 mph

And the new speed is the magnitude of the resultant velocity:

v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{(954.6)^2+(147.0)^2}=965.8 mph \sim 966 mph

Margaret wants to go for a swim, and decides to jump in using the diving board that measures 3-m long.
otez555 [7]

Answer:

The horizontal component of her velocity is approximately 1.389 m/s

The vertical component of her velocity is approximately 7.878 m/s

Explanation:

The given question parameters are;

The initial velocity with which Margaret leaps, v = 8.0 m/s

The angle to the horizontal with which she jumps, θ = 80° to the horizontal

The horizontal component of her velocity, vₓ = v × cos(θ)

∴ vₓ = 8.0 × cos(80°) ≈ 1.389

The horizontal component of her velocity, vₓ ≈ 1.389 m/s

The vertical component of her velocity, v_y = v × sin(θ)

∴ v_y = 8.0 × sin(80°) ≈ 7.878

The vertical component of her velocity, v_y ≈ 7.878 m/s.

The boiling point of water at sea level is 100 °c. at higher altitudes, the boiling point of water will be
Scilla [17]
   <span> The boiling point of water at sea level is 100 °C. At higher altitudes, the boiling point of water will be.....
a) higher, because the altitude is greater.
b) lower, because temperatures are lower.
c) the same, because water always boils at 100 °C.
d) higher, because there are fewer water molecules in the air.
==> e) lower, because the atmospheric pressure is lower.
--------------------------
Water boils at a lower temperature on top of a mountain because there is less air pressure on the molecules.
-------------------
I hope this is helpful. </span>

Hemoglobin (Hb) is the O2-carrying protein in our blood. Unlike myoglobin, it has four sites allowing it to bind up to four O2 m
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Yes, the energy is not simply the sum of the individual binding energies at each site, it is the product of energy at each binding site of hemoglobin.

Explanation:

Myoglobin and hemoglobin are two different cells. Myoglobin binds only one oxygen while the hemoglobin has the ability to binds four oxygen atoms at its four sides. Myoglobin present in muscle tissue only while hemoglobin is present in the whole body. Oxyhemoglobin is formed when oxygen binds with hemoglobin cell. This oxygen is take to all cells and energy is released due to the breakdown of glucose molecules with this oxygen.
