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 4.0 cm object is 6.0 cm from a convex mirror that has a focal length of 8.0 cm. What is the distance of the image from the mir
ioda

Mirror formula

1/f = (1/p) + (1/q)    [ f= focal length  ,  p= object distance ,  q = image distance ]

as given convex mirror so

distance of object =p= 6cm

focal length =  -8cm

to find q=?

1/q =( 1/f) - (1/ p)

1/q = (1/ 8) -(1/6)

1/q =-1/24

q=-24  ( negative sign shows image is virtual and behind the mirror)

Calculate the amount of hcn that gives the lethal dose in a small laboratory room measuring 14 × 15 × 8.0ft. the density of air
vova2212 [387]
Since we are given the density and volume, then perhaps we can determine the amount in terms of the mass. All we have to do is find the volume in terms of cm³ so that it will cancel out with the cm³ in the density. The conversion is 1 ft = 30.48 cm. The solution is as follows:

V = (14 ft)(15 ft)(8 ft)(30.48 cm/1 ft)³ = 0.0593 cm³

The mass is equal to:
Mass = (0.00118g/cm³)(0.0593 cm³)
Mass = 7 grams of HCN

The student throws one cannonball directly upward at 5.0 m/s and simultaneously throws the other cannonball directly downward at
Mademuasel [1]
Let the cannonball be thrown at a height of h above ground.
Then  the potential energy of the ball is
V = m*g*h
where
m = the mass of the ball
g = 9.8 m/s²

Also, the kinetic energy of the ball is
K = (1/2)mu²
where
u = 5 m/s, the vertical launch velocity.
Ignore wind resistance.

Because the total energy is preserved, the total energy (n the form of only kinetic energy) when the ball strikes the ground is
(1/2)mV²
where V = vertical velocity when the ball strikes the ground.

Expressions for both the initial and final energy are equal regardless of whether the ball s thrown downward or upward.
Therefore there is no difference in the landing speed. 

Answer: There is no difference.

What is an example of total internal reflection at work?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
Total internal reflection occurs when a propagated wave strikes a medium boundary at an angle larger than a particular critical angle with respect to the normal to the surface. <span>Total internal reflection can be observed while swimming, when one opens one's eyes just under the water's surface. If the water is calm, its surface appears mirror-like.</span>
