Matt and Anna Killian are frequent fliers on​ Fast-n-Go Airlines. They often fly between two cities that are a distance of 1575

miles apart. On one particular​ trip, they flew into the wind and the trip took 4.5 hours. The return trip with the wind behind​ them, only took about 3.5 hours. Find the speed of the wind and the speed of the plane in still air.

Answer:

Speed of wind = 50mi/hr, Speed of plane in still air = 400mi/hr

Explanation:

Let the speed of the wind = Vw,

Speed of the plane in still air = Vsa,

The first trip the average speed of the plane = 1575mi/4.5hours = 350mi/hr

The coming trip the wind behind = 1575mi/3.5hrs = 450

Write the motion in equation form

First trip ( the plane flew into the wind)

Vaverage = Vsa - Vw

350 = Vsa - Vw

Second trip the wind was behind

450 = Vsa +Vw

Adding the two equation

800 = 2Vas

Vas = 800/2 = 400mi/hr

Substitute for Vas into equation 1

350mi/hr = 400mi/hr - Vw

Vw = 400-350 = 50mi/hr

What is the magnitude of the minimum magnetic field that will keep the particle moving in the earth's gravitational field in the
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the magnetic field vector is 1.91T and is directed towards the east.

The steps to the solution can be found in the attachment below.

Explanation:

For the charge to remain in the the earth' gravitational field the magnetic force on the charge must be equal to the earth's gravitational force on the charge and must act opposite the direction of the earth's gravitational force.

Fm = Fg

qvBSin(theta) = mg

Where q = magnitude of charge

v = magnitude of the velocity vector = 4 x10^4 m/s

B = magnitude of the magnetic field vector

theta = the angle between the magnetic field and velocity vectors = 90°

m = mass of the charge = 0.195g

g = acceleration due to gravity =9.8m/s²

On substituting the respective values of all variables in the equation (1) above

B = 1.91T

The direction of the magnetic field vector was found by the application of the right hand rule: if the thumb is pointed in the direction of the magnetic force and the index finger is pointed in the direction of the velocity vector, the middle finger points in the direction of the magnetic field.

Below is the step by step procedure to the solution.

An electron is confined in a harmonic oscillator potential well. What is the longest wavelength of light that the electron can a
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The longest wavelength of light is 209 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Spring constant = 74 N/m

Mass of electron m= 9.11\times10^{-31}\ kg

Speed of light c= 3\times10^{8}\ m/s

We need to calculate the frequency

Using formula of frequency

f =\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}

Where, k= spring constant

m = mass of the particle

Put the value into the formula

f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{74}{9.11\times10^{-31}}}

f=1.434\times10^{15}\ Hz

We need to calculate the longest wavelength that the electron  can absorb

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}

Where, c = speed of light

f = frequency

Put the value into the formula

\lambda =\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{1.434\times10^{15}}

\lambda=2.092\times10^{-7}\ m

\lambda=209\ nm

Hence, The longest wavelength of light is 209 nm.

An apple in a tree has a gravitational store of 8J. As it falls, it accelerates constantly until it hits the ground. What is the
Masja [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that on the tree the gravitational energy stored is 8J

Then, mgh = 8J.

The apple begins to fall and hit the ground, what is the maximum kinetic energy?

Using conservation of energy, as the above is about to hit the ground, the apple is at is maximum speed, and the height then is 0m, so the potential energy at the ground is zero, so all the potential of the apple at the too of the tree is converted to kinetic energy as it is about to hits the ground. Along the way to the ground, both the Kinetic energy and potential energy is conserved, it is notice that at the top of the tree, the apple has only potential energy since velocity is zero at top, and at the bottom of the tree the apple has only kinetic energy since potential energy is zero(height=0)

So,

K.E(max) = 8J
