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.

Are rocks made of matter?​
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Yes, the rocks are made of matter

Explanation:

Let's remember the definition of matter.

Matter is all that has mass and occupies a place in space. Therefore, if we measure the mass of each rock we will know its mass, the other fact is that rocks like any particular body are occupying a place in an empty space.

The opposite of this is antimatter and can its extent be given by the quantum mechanics.

A typical atomic polarizability is 1 × 10-40 (C·m)/(N/C). If the q in p = qs is equal to the proton charge e, what charge separa
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

s = 6.25 10⁻²² m

Explanation:

Polarizability is the separation of electric charges in a structure, in the case of the atom it is the result of the separation of positive charges in the nucleus and the electrons in their orbits, macroscopically it is approximated by

                p = q s

               s = p / q

let's calculate

              s = 1 10⁻⁴⁰ / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹

              s = 0.625 10⁻²¹ m

              s = 6.25 10⁻²² m

We see that the result is much smaller than the size of the atom, therefore this simplistic model cannot be taken to an atomic scale.

Temperature is a measure of how much the atoms in a substance are moving. Why is a substance hotter in the gas state than in the
dolphi86 [110]
Hey there!
In a gas state, particles have lots of energy, so they move around very rapidly, hitting each other and flowing around, that's why you see them moving so freely. Because they have so much energy, the substance is likely to be harder, as it can obtain more thermal energy, or heat.
Hope this helps!
