An airplane flies between two points on the ground that are 500 km apart. The destination is directly north of the origination o

f the flight. The plane flies with an air speed of 120 m/s. If a constant wind blows at 10.0 m/s due west during the flight, what direction must the plane fly relative to north to arrive at the destination? Consider: east to the right, west to the left, north upwards and south downwards

Answer:

   θ = 4.78º

with respect to the vertical or 4.78 to the east - north

Explanation:

This is a velocity compound exercise since it is a vector quantity.

The plane takes a direction, the air blows to the west and the result must be to the north, let's use the Pythagorean theorem to find the speed

                  v_fly² = v_nort² + v_air²

                  v_nort² = v_fly² + - v_air²

Let's use trigonometry to find the direction of the plane

        sin θ = v_air / v_fly

        θ = sin⁻¹ (v_air / v_fly)

         

let's calculate

        θ = sin⁻¹ (10/120)

         θ = 4.78º

with respect to the vertical or 4.78 to the north-east

E                  S                                                               *

The "E" represents Earth, "S" represent Sun, and the "*" represents the nearest star(which is Proxima Centauri).

The main thing to worry about here is units, so ill label everything out.
D'e,s'(Distance between earth and sun) = .<span>00001581 light years
D'e,*'(Distance between earth and Proxima) = </span><span>4.243 light years

Now this is where it gets fun, we need to put all the light years into centimeters.(theres alot)
In one light year, there are </span>9.461 * 10^17 centimeters.(the * in this case means multiplication) or 946,100,000,000,000,000 centimeters.

To convert we multiply the light years we found by the big number.
D'e,s'(Distance between earth and sun) = 1.496 * 10^13 centimeters<span>
D'e,*'(Distance between earth and Proxima) = </span><span>4.014 * 10^18 centimeters
</span>
Now we scale things down, we treat 1.496 * 10^13 centimeters as a SINGLE centimeter, because that's the distance between the earth and the sun. So all we have to do is divide (4.014 * 10^18 ) by (<span>1.496 * 10^13 ).
Why? because that how proportions work.

As a result, you get a mere 268335.7 centimeters.

To put that into perspective, that's only about 1.7 miles

A lot of my numbers came from google, so they are estimations and are not perfect, but its hard to be on really large scales.</span>

Una bicicleta que circula a 18km/h y se detiene en 0.8 segundos. Calcular la aceleración.
andrezito [222]

The acceleration is -6.25 m/s^2.

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is given by:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken for the velocity to change from u to v

For the bike in this problem, we have:

u=18 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}=5 m/s is the initial velocity

v = 0 is the final velocity (the bike comes to a stop)

t = 0.8 s is the time interval

Substituting, we find the acceleration:

a=\frac{0-5}{0.8}=-6.25 m/s^2

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

248

Explanation:

L = Inductance of the slinky = 130 μH = 130 x 10⁻⁶ H

l = length of the slinky = 3 m

N = number of turns in the slinky

r = radius of slinky = 4 cm = 0.04 m

Area of slinky is given as

A = πr²

A = (3.14) (0.04)²

A = 0.005024 m²

Inductance is given as

L = \frac{\mu _{o}N^{2}A}{l}

130\times 10^{-6} = \frac{(12.56\times 10^{-7})N^{2}(0.005024)}{3}

N = 248

What is the anomalous expansivity of water
lora16 [44]

Answer:

The anomalous expansion of water is an abnormal property of water whereby it expands instead of contracting when the temperature goes from 4o C to 0o C, and it becomes less dense. The density is maximum at 4 degree centigrade and decreases below that temperature as shown in graph.

Explanation:do you want me to explain it more??
