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

A butterfly flies from the top of a tree in the center of a garden to rest on top of a red flower at the garden's edge. The tree
Zielflug [23.3K]

The butterfly takes a vertical perpendicular path equivalent to 9m and travels a horizontal distance of 17m. The net path between the two is equivalent to that of the hypotenuse, so we will apply the Pythagorean theorem.

x=\sqrt{(9)^2+(0.17)^2}

x = 9.0061 \approx 9.0 m

Therefore the magnitude of the butterfly's displacement is 9m

You open the refrigerator in your room and put in a case of room-temperature root beer. After an hour, the root beer is ice cold
agasfer [191]

Answer:

warmer

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy tells us that energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can be transferred or converted from one from to another. In this question when the beer that is at room temperature is put in the fridge, it loses some heat energy. This heat energy is not destroyed, the fridge through  multiple processes eventually releases this heat to the room through pipes at the back which is why they are normally warm. the heat from the food inside is expelled to the room. It is not lost.
