An airplane capable of an airspeed of 100 km/hr is 60 km off the coast above the sea. If the wind is blowing from the coast out

to sea at 40 km/hr, what is the least amount of time it will take for the plane to get to shore ?

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to relative speed. We will obtain it from the deduction made on the aircraft as a speed of the two components that act on it. Through the kinematic equations of motion, we can then calculate the time required.

The airspeed of airplane is 100km/h  while the wind is blowing from the coast out to sea at 40km/h. Wind is blowing from the coast out to sea means that it opposes the airspeed. Therefore, resultant relative speed of airplane is

v_r = 100-40=60km/h

Total distance is 60km then with this net velocity we have that the required time is

v = \frac{x}{t} \rightarrow t = \frac{x}{v}

Where,

x = Displacement

t = Time

v = Velocity

Replacing,

t = \frac{60km}{60km/h} = 1hour

t = 60 minutes

Therefore the time taken by the plane to reach the shore is 60 minutes

wo fixed charges, A and B are located at x axis. A is at x = 0 m, B is at x = 4 m. QA = +4.0 μC and QB = -5.0 μC. Calculate the
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

10250 N/C leftwards

Explanation:

QA = 4 micro Coulomb

QB = - 5 micro Coulomb

AP = 6 m

BP = 2 m

A is origin, B is at 4 m and P is at 6 m .

The electric field due to charge QA at P is EA rightwards

E_{A}=\frac{KQ_{A}}{AP^{2}}=\frac{9\times10^{9}\times4\times10^{-6}}{6^{2}}=1000 N/C (rightwards)

The electric field due to charge QB at P is EB leftwards

E_{B}=\frac{KQ_{B}}{BP^{2}}=\frac{9\times10^{9}\times5\times10^{-6}}{2^{2}}=11250 N/C (leftwards)

The resultant electric field at P due the charges is given by

E = EB - EA

E = 11250 - 1000 = 10250 N/C leftwards
