An airplane pilot wishes to fly due west. A wind of 80.0 km/h (about 50 mi/h) is blowing toward the south. (a) If the airspeed o

f the plane (its speed in still air) is 320.0 km/h (about 200 mi/h), in which direction should the pilot head?

Answer:

14.48° North of West.

Explanation:

The conditions mentioned in the question has been drawn in the figure below where,

  • The vector CA represents the velocity of airplane,
  • θ is the angle from west pointing the direction of airplane in which it is required to travel,
  • Vector AB is the direction of wind, and,
  • Vector CB is the resultant direction.

As ΔABC is a right angle triangle, for calculating the direction of airplane so that it can travel to west, we need to calculate the direction of vector CA which can be calculated with the help of sine theta.

So,

Sinθ= \frac{80}{320} = \frac{1}{4}

Thus the value of θ = 14.48°

So, the pilot should head towards 14.48° North of West.

Use the accompanying seismogram to answer which of the three types of seismic waves reached the seismograph first.
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Primary waves (P-waves)

Explanation:

Due to excess of the energy inside the earth when the tectonic plates begin to slide or fracture then the energy is released in the form of seismic waves, this causes the earthquake.

<u>Two types of seismic waves are generally responsible for the earth quakes:</u>

  1. body waves
  2. surface waves

Body waves are of two types:

Primary waves (P-waves)

These are the fastest of all the waves involved in the earth-quake which travel at a speed of 1.6 km to 8 km per second.

They can pass trough solids, liquids and gases. They arrive at the surface as an instant thud.

Secondary waves (S-waves)

They can only pass through the solids and they move slower than the P-waves.

As S-waves move, they displace the rock particles, pushing them outwards perpendicular to the wave-path that leads to the earthquake-related first rolling period.

Surface waves (L-waves/ long waves)

  • These waves move along the surface of the earth. They are responsible for the earthquake's carnage.
  • They move up and down the Earth's surface, rocking the foundations of man-made structures.
  • Surface waves are slowest of the three waves, which means that they are the last to arrive. So at the end of an earthquake usually comes the most powerful shaking.

Which description best models the energy transfer that occurs in the radiative zone?
Zinaida [17]

Answer : Option D) A dropped wallet is kicked around the floor of a busy train station.

Explanation : The description that best suits the model for the energy transfer that occurs in the radiative zone is -

<h3>A dropped wallet is kicked around the floor of a busy train station.</h3>

As in the radiation zone, which is also called as radiative zone or radiative region in the layer of a star's interior where energy is primarily transported toward the exterior by means of radiative diffusion and thermal conduction. This can be correlated with the example of a dropped wallet in a busy train station as the wallet would be kicked by many people who are in a hurry to travel, this represents the radiative diffusion. So, every time the wallet is being kicked by someone the energy is getting transformed.

Why doesn't the skateboarder roll as high each time she goes up the ramp
Westkost [7]

Answer:

The skater has mechanical/gravitational potential energy at the two meter mark. The skater gets to two meters high on the other end of the ramp. In terms of the conservation of energy, the skater will never go higher than two meter on the other end of the the ramp because energy can be neither created nor destroyed.
