Answer:

speed wind  Vw = 54.04 km / h   θ = 87.9º

Explanation:

We have a speed vector composition exercise

In the half hour the airplane has traveled X = 108 km to the west, but is located at coordinated 119 km west and 27 km south

Let's add the vectors in each coordinate axis

   

X axis (East-West)

      -Xvion - Xw = -119

      Xw = -Xavion + 119

      Xw = 119 -108

      Xwi = 1 km

Calculate the speed for time of  t = 0.5 h

     Vwx = Xw / t

     Vwx= 1 /0.5

     Vwx = - 2 km / h

Y Axis (North-South)

    Y plane - Yi = -27

    Y plane = 0

    Yw = 27 km

    Vwy = 27 /0.5

    Vwy = 54 km / h

Let's use the Pythagorean theorem and trigonometry to compose the answer

 Vw = √ (Vwx² + Vwy²)

  Vw = R 2² + 54²

  Vw = 54.04 km / h

  tan θ = Vwy / Vwx

  tan θ = 54/2 = 27

  θ = Tan⁻¹ 1 27

  θ = 87.9º

The speed direction is 87. 9th measure In the third quadrant of the X axis in the direction 90-87.9 = 2.1º  west from the south

The innermost satellite of jupiter orbits the planet with a radius of 422 × 103 km and a period of 1.77 days. what is the mass o
FinnZ [79.3K]

The mass of Jupitar is obtained from the calculations as 5.8 * 10^-14 Kg.

<h3>What is the mass of Jupitar?</h3>

There are nine planets in the solar system and the sun lies at the enter of our solar system. This is the heliocentric model of the solar system.

Given that;

T^2 = GMr^3/4π

T = period

G = gravitational constant

r = radius

M = mass of Jupitar

Now;

1 day = 86400 seconds

1.77 days = 1.77 days *  86400 seconds/1 day

= 152928 seconds

Making M the subject of the formula;

M =4πT^2/Gr^3

M = 4 * 3.142 * (152928)^2/6.67 × 10^-11 * (422 × 10^9)^3

M = 2.9 * 10^11/5.0 * 10^24

M = 5.8 * 10^-14 Kg

In your own words, explain why we see a rainbow or colorful sunset. Explain the properties and interactions that make this displ
Maksim231197 [3]
Wee see rainbows due to the geometries of the raindrops. when the sun shines behind, rays of light enter the raindrops and this light are refracted. The lights are then reflected from the back of the raindrop and refracted again as it passes the rain drop. Refraction in this sense is the cause for splitting the light into several colors.

Elements from opposite sides of the periodic table tend to form ________.
Ivenika [448]
Ionic compounds is your answer. What happens is one atom donates electron(s) to the other atom, making one positive and the other negative. The opposite atoms attract, forming an ionic bond. 

Hope this helps! :)
