Bryan Allen pedaled a human-powered aircraft across the English channel from the cliffs of Dover to Cap Gris-Nez on June 12, 197

9. He flew for 169 minutes at an average velocity of 3.53 m/s in a direction 45.0∘ degrees south of east. Allen encountered a headwind averaging 2.00 m/s almost precisely in the opposite direction of his motion relative to the earth. What was his average velocity relative to the air?

Answer:

The answer is " $5.53 \ \frac{m}{s}$ "

Explanation:

apply the formula for calculating the average velocity to the relative air

$V_{PG} =V_{PA}+V_{AG}$

$\Rightarrow V_{PA} = V_{PG} -V_{AG}$

Given value:

$V_{AG} = -2 \ \frac{m}{s}$

$V_{PG} =3.53$

$\Rightarrow V_{PA} = 3.53 - (-2) \\\\\Rightarrow V_{PA} = 3.53 +2 \\\\\Rightarrow V_{PA} = 5.53 \\\\$

The final answer is " $5.53 \ \frac{m}{s}$ " in the south-east direction.

Two electromagnets contain the same types of magnets

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer: The first electromagnet has a more powerful current than

the second

Explanation:

Since the two electromagnets contain the same types of magnets and wires. If the magnet In the first moves much faster than the second. Therefore:

The first electromagnet has a more powerful current than the second

Because the induced EMF is proportional to the induced current.

Where the induced EMF depends on the speed of the magnet according to the formula below

EMF = BVL

So, increase in speed of the magnet will cause more powerful induced current and emf

Consider a father pushing a child on a playground merry-go-round. The system has a moment of inertia of 84.4 kg.m^2. The father

Sophie [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

the initial angular velocity $\omega_o = 0$

angular acceleration $\alpha$ = 4.44 rad/s²

Using the formula:

$\omega = \omega_o+ \alpha t$

Making t the subject of the formula:

$t= \dfrac{\omega- \omega_o}{ \alpha }$

where;

$\omega = 1.53 \ rad/s^2$

∴

$t= \dfrac{1.53-0}{4.44 }$

t = 0.345 s

b)

Using the formula:

$\omega ^2 = \omega _o^2 + 2 \alpha \theta$

here;

$\theta$ = angular displacement

∴

$\theta = \dfrac{\omega^2 - \omega_o^2}{2 \alpha }$

$\theta = \dfrac{(1.53)^2 -0^2}{2 (4.44) }$

$\theta =0.264 \ rad$

Recall that:

2π rad = 1 revolution

Then;

0.264 rad = (x) revolution

$x = \dfrac{0.264 \times 1}{2 \pi}$

x = 0.042 revolutions

c)

Here; force = 270 N

radius = 1.20 m

The torque = F * r

$\tau = 270 \times 1.20 \\ \\ \tau = 324 \ Nm$

However;

From the moment of inertia;

$Torque( \tau) = I \alpha \\ \\ Since( I \alpha) = 324 \ Nm. \\ \\ Then; \\ \\ \alpha= \dfrac{324}{I}$

given that;

I = 84.4 kg.m²

$\alpha= \dfrac{324}{84.4} \\ \\ \alpha=3.84 \ rad/s^2$

For re-tardation; $\alpha=-3.84 \ rad/s^2$

Using the equation

$t= \dfrac{\omega- \omega_o}{ \alpha }$

$t= \dfrac{0-1.53}{ -3.84 }$

$t= \dfrac{1.53}{ 3.84 }$

t = 0.398s

The required time it takes= 0.398s

One anthem of silicon can properly be combined in a compound with

Darya [45]

One atom of silicon can properly be combined in a compound withtwo atoms of oxygen to produce silicon dioxide because silicon is very similar to carbon, as it is in the same group as carbon is in, therefore, it is able to make four bonds.
Moreover, Silicon has 4 valence electrons. In order to form an ionic bond, silicon<span> would have to gain or lose 4 electrons.</span>
