If you move south at 30 m/s for 30 minutes, your displacement is

D = (30 mtr/s) x (30 min) x (60 sec/min)

D = (30 x 30 x 60) (mtr-min-sec/sec-min)

D = 54,000 meters south

D = <em>54 km south</em>

The answer is as voltage increases current increases and therefore resistance would remain constant

A seagull flies at a velocity of 9.00 m/s straight into the wind. (a) if it takes the bird 20.0 min to travel 6.00 km relative t

enot [183]

Here we will the speed of seagull which is v = 9 m/s

this is the speed of seagull when there is no effect of wind on it

now in part a)

if effect of wind is in opposite direction then it travels 6 km in 20 min

so the average speed is given by the ratio of total distance and total time

$v_{avg} = \frac{6000}{20*60}$

$v_{avg} = 5m/s$

now since effect of wind is in opposite direction then we can say

$V_{net} = v_{bird} - v_{wind}$

$5 = 9 - v_{wind}$

$v_{wind}= 4 m/s$

Part b)

now if bird travels in the same direction of wind then we will have

$v_{net}= v_{bird} + v_{wind}$

$v_{net} = 9 + 4 = 13 m/s$

now we can find the time to go back

$time = \frac{distance}{speed}$

$time = \frac{6000}{13}$

$time = 7.7 minutes$

Part c)

Total time of round trip when wind is present

$T = t_1 + t_2$

$T = 20 + 7.7 = 27.7 min$

now when there is no wind total time is given by

$T = \frac{6000}{9} + \frac{6000}{9}$

$T = 22.22 min$

So due to wind time will be more

How much time does it take a person to walk 12km north at the velocity at a velocity of 6.5 km/hrs?

alukav5142 [94]

"6.5 km/hr" is not a velocity. It's just a speed, so
we don't know what direction he's walking.

If he happens to be walking north, then it takes him

(12 km) / (6.5 km/hr) = 1.846... hours (rounded) .

If he's walking in any other direction, it takes him longer than that.

If the angle between north and the direction he's walking is
90 degrees or more, then he can never cover any northward
distance, no matter how long he walks.
