Calculate the resulting speed of an airplane with an airspeed of 120 km/h pointing due north when it encounters a wind of 90 km/

h directed from the west. (recall, speed is the magnitude of velocity)

Answer:

The resulting speed of the airplane is 150 Km/h

Explanation:

The airspeed of the plane is 120 Km/h due North. The wind came from West pointing to the East at 90 Km/h

Both speeds are acting in different directions, so they must be added as vectors. Both vectors and the resulting velocity (Vr) are shown in the image below

The magnitude of that velocity can be computed by using Pythagoras's theorem:

Vr^2=120^2+90^2

Vr^2=14400+8100=22500

Vr=\sqrt{22500}=150

The resulting speed of the airplane is 150 Km/h

As the distance between 2 objects increases, what happens to gravitational force?
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

the force decreases

Explanation:

Gravitational force is depending on it's mass and the distance between two object

The attachment shows us to understand relationship of it's

F ∝ 1/ (r)2

there for gravitational force is inversely proportional to it's distance . when distance between two object is increased, Then force will be decreased

Josh did an experiment recording the changes in temperature in sand and water when exposed to a light source, and then when the
Marrrta [24]

Before going to solve this question first we have to understand specific heat capacity of a substance .

The specific heat of a substance is defined as amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of substance through one degree Celsius. Let us consider a substance whose mass is m.Let Q amount of heat is given to it as a result of which its temperature is raised  from T to T'.

Hence specific heat  of a substance is calculated as-

                                              c= \frac{Q}{m[T'-T]}

Here c is the specific heat capacity.

The substance whose specific heat capacity is more will take more time to be heated up to a certain temperature as compared to a substance having low specific heat which is to be heated up to the same temperature.

As per the question John is experimenting on sand and water.Between sand and water,water has the specific heat 1 cal/gram per degree centigrade which is larger as compared to sand.Hence sand will be heated faster as compared to water.The substance which is heated faster will also cools faster.

From this experiment John concludes that water has more specific heat as compared to sand.

Doug, who runs track for his high school, was challenged to a race by his younger brother, matt. Matt started running first, and
eduard

The speed of Matt is 10 mph.

Doug runs 2 miles an hour faster than Matt, so let Matt’s speed equal x miles per hour. Then Doug’s speed equals x + 2 miles per hour. Each lap is one-quarter of a mile, so Doug runs 1.5 miles in the time it takes Matt to run 1.25 miles.

Rate of Matt is x

Rate of Dough is (x + 2)

Time taken by Matt is 1.25/x

Time taken by Dough is 1.25/(x + 2)

Distance covered by Matt is 1.25

Distance covered by Dough is 1.5

Dough and  Matt  took the same amount of time from the time Doug started, so make an equation by setting the two times in the chart equal to each other, and then solve for x:

            \frac{1.5}{(x + 2)} = \frac{1.25}{x}

              1.5x = 1.25(x + 2)

              1.5x = 1.25x + 2.5

           0.25x = 2.5

                   x = 10

So Matt ran at 10 miles per hour.
