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

Answer: 40.4M/s

Solution: 46.6/1.15 = 40.4347826 then round it to a single decimal point, since 3 is lower than 5 it will be rounded to 40.4

What is the benefit of developing the atomic mass unit as a standard unit of mass?
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

The atomic mass unit is 1/12 of an atom of carbon 12, and is a very small amount to represent in kilograms:

1m_{u}=1.66054x10^{-27}kg

m_{u} is atomic mass unit.

This is why the benefits of the atomic mass unit is that it makes the representation of atomic masses easier in terms of the simplicity of the numbers that are used to represent the masses. Also using the atomic mass unit it is easier to compare the masses of different atoms, These numbers would be very small and would require negative powers of 10 to represent them, so it is more convenient to use the atomic mass unit.

If you were to triple the size of the Earth (R = 3R⊕) and double the mass of the Earth (M = 2M⊕), how much would it change the g
EastWind [94]

Answer:

Decreased by a factor of 4.5

Explanation:

"We have Newton formula for attraction force between 2 objects with mass and a distance between them:

F_G = G\frac{M_1M_2}{R^2}

where G =6.67408 × 10^{-11} m^3/kgs^2 is the gravitational constant on Earth. M_1, M_2 are the masses of the object and Earth itself. and R distance between, or the Earth radius.

So when R is tripled and mass is doubled, we have the following ratio of the new gravity over the old ones:

\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{G\frac{M_1M_2}{R^2}}{G\frac{M_1m_2}{r^2}}

\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{\frac{M_2}{R^2}}{\frac{m_2}{r^2}}

\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{M_2}{R^2}\frac{r^2}{m_2}

\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{M_2}{m_2}(\frac{r}{R})^2

Since M_2 = 2m_2 and r = R/3

\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{2}{3^2} = 2/9 = 1/4.5

So gravity would have been decreased by a factor of 4.5
