Answer:

speed of plane = 157.5 mph

speed o wind = 17.5 mph

Explanation:

Distance traveled to move from one position to other is given as

$d = 700 miles$

time taken by it

$t = 4 hr$

so here the speed is given as

$v_p + v_w = \frac{700}{4}$

$v_p + v_w = 175 mph$

during his return journey we have

$v_p - v_w = \frac{700}{5}$

$v_p - v_w = 140 mph$

now from above two equations we have

$v_p = 157.5 mph$

$v_w = 17.5 mph$

Consider two ideal gases, A & B, at the same temperature. The rms speed of the molecules of gas A is twice that of gas B. Ho

uysha [10]

Answer:

option (d)

Explanation:

The relation between the rms velocity and the molecular mass is given by

v proportional to \frac{1}{\sqrt{M}} keeping the temperature constant

So for two gases

$\frac{v_{A}}{v_{B}}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{B}}{M_{A}}}$

$\frac{2v_{B}}{v_{B}}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{B}}{M_{A}}}$

${\frac{M_{B}}{M_{A}}} = 4$

${\frac{M_{B}}{4}} = M_{A}$

A diffraction pattern forms when light passes through a single slit. The wavelength of the light is 691 nm. Determine the angle

expeople1 [14]

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of the light, $\lambda=691\ nm=691\times 10^{-9}\ m$

(a) Slit width, $a=3.8\times 10^{-4}\ m$

The angle that locates the first dark fringe is given by :

$sin\theta=\dfrac{\lambda}{a}$

$sin\theta=\dfrac{691\times 10^{-9}}{3.8\times 10^{-4}}$

$\theta=0.104^{\circ}$

(b) Slit width, $a=3.8\times 10^{-6}\ m$

The angle that locates the first dark fringe is given by :

$sin\theta=\dfrac{\lambda}{a}$

$sin\theta=\dfrac{691\times 10^{-9}}{3.8\times 10^{-6}}$

$\theta=10.47^{\circ}$

Hence, this is the required solution.

shtirl [24]

Some benefits to solar power:
Isolated power is very abundant on earth.
Is very sustainable (5 billion years of good use)
Eco friendly excluding panel production.
Some disadvantages:
Very expensive to set up
Takes up a lot of space per person
Requires exotic materials to construct
Energy storage is difficult with solar cells compared to fossil fuels.

The formation of condensation on a glass of ice water causes the ice to melt faster than it would otherwise. If 8.55 g of conden

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

m = 62.14 g

Explanation:

Energy used to melt the ice is the energy released by the condensation of the water forms on the glass

so here we have

energy for the condensation of water is given as

let mass of water condensed = m

$E = m_1 L_f$

now the energy of vaporization is given as

$E = m_2 L_v$

here we know that

$L_f = 79.8 kCal/kg$

$L_v = 580 k Cal/kg$

Now we have

$8.55 \times 580 = m \times 79.8$

$m = 62.14 g$
