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

How do the positions of the hot and cold water affect the speed of convection
lilavasa [31]

Convection is the transfer of heat from one place to another via the movement of fluids. It happens from higher energy level to lower energy level to bring equilibrium to the system.

For vertical set up , if the hot water is places on top of cold water, direction of convection will be from top to bottom. So, gravity can play a role in increasing the rate of flow of energy. if the cold water is places on top of hot water, direction of convection will be from bottom to top. So, gravity can play a role in decreasing the rate of flow of energy.

for Horizontal set up, when hot and cold water are placed side by side, gravity will not playing a role in the flow of energy.So, the position of hot or cold water would not matter.
