Answer:

270.78 m/s and 9 degrees north of east

Explanation:

Suppose that the wind direction is 45 degree relative to the eastern direction. Let east and north be the positive horizontal (\hat{i}) and vertical (\hat{j}) directions here. We can calculate the horizontal and vertical components of wind velocity

v_v = v_h = 60 cos45^0 = 60*0.707 = 42.43 km/h

The velocity of the wind can be rewritten as the following

\vec{v_w} = 42.43 \hat{i} + 42.43 \hat{j}

The velocity of the airplane that is 225 km/h due north is

\vec{v_a} = 225 \hat{j}

The plane velocity relative to the ground is its velocity relative to the wind plus the wind velocity relative to the ground

\vec{v} = \vec{v_w} + \vec{v_a} = 42.43 \hat{i} + 42.43 \hat{j} + 225 \hat{j} = 42.43 \hat{i} + 267.43 \hat{j}

The magnitude and direction of this velocity vector can be calculated

v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2} = \sqrt{42.43^2 + 267.43^2} = \sqrt{1800.3049 + 71518.8049} = \sqrt{73319.1098} = 270.78

tan\alpha = \frac{v_x}{v_y} = \frac{42.43}{267.43} = 0.16

\alpha = tan^{-1}0.16 = 0.16 rad \approx 9.02 degrees  north of east

The diameter of 0-gauge copper wire is 8.252 mm. Find the resistance of a 1.00-km length of such wire used for power transmissio
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

The value is R = 0.321 \ \Omega

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The diameter is  d =  8.252 \  mm  =  0.008252 \  m

    The length of the wire is  l =  1.0 \  km  =  1000 \  m

   Generally the cross sectional area of the copper wire is mathematically represented as

           A  = \pi * \frac{d^2}{4}

=>        A  =  3.142  * \frac{ 0.008252^2}{4}

=>         A  =  5.349 *10^{ - 5} \  m^2

Generally the resistance is mathematically represented as

      R =  \frac{\rho  *  l }{A }

Here \rho is the resistivity of copper with the value  \rho =  1.72*10^{-8} \ \Omega \cdot m

=>    R =  \frac{1.72 *10^{-8}  *   1000 }{5.349 *10^{ - 5}  }

=>    R = 0.321 \ \Omega

During which changes of state do atoms overcome the attractive forces between them?
prohojiy [21]
Atoms overcome the attractive forces between them through vaporization and sublimation .in vaporization the atoms are from gas to liquid while in sublimation it is from solid to gas which skips liquid state.through this the attractive force of the atoms does not meet in the liquid state because sublimation does not undergo in liquid phase. hope this help

If you want to replicate another scientist's experiment, which sections of their laboratory report will provide you with the mos
bogdanovich [222]
If research results can be replicated, it means they are more likely to be correct. Replication is important in science so scientists can “check their work.” The result of an investigation is not likely to be well accepted unless the investigation is repeated many times and the same result is always obtained.
