An airplane cruises at 850 km/h relative to the air. It is flying from Denver, Colorado, due west to Reno, Nevada, a distance of

1200 km, and will then return. There is a steady 90km/h wind blowing to the east.

Answer:

difference in flight time= 0.3023 hour

Explanation:

The question is incomplete, but I found it in your textbook.

Spped of aircraft = 850 km/h

Opposing speed of wind = 90km/h

Hence, the net speed when it's travelling west = 850 - 90 = 760 km/hr

The distance covered = 1200km

time taken = distance/ time = 1200/ 760 = 1.5789 hours

When coming back, the speed of the wind is complementary to the speed of the aircraft so

net speed when it's coming back = 850 +90 = 940 km/hr

time taken in this instance = 1200/ 940 = 1.2765 hours

Hence, the difference in flight time= 1.5789 - 1.2765 = 0.3023 hour

A conducting sphere contains positive charge distributed uniformly over its surface. Which statements about the potential due to
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

A conducting sphere contains positive charge distributed uniformly over its surface. Which statements about the potential due to this sphere are true? All potentials are measured relative to infinity. (There may be more than one correct choice.)

A) The potential is lowest, but not zero, at the center of the sphere.  B) The potential at the center of the sphere is zero.  C) The potential at the center of the sphere is the same as the potential at the surface.  D) The potential at the surface is higher than the potential at the center.  E) The potential at the center is the same as the potential at infinity

Answer:

C) The potential at the center of the sphere is the same as the potential at the surface.

Explanation:

When a conductive sphere has charges that distribute evenly on its surface, it means that its interior has a zero charge cap. As a result, the outside of this sphere has a charge distribution that will be the same if the center of the sphere were charged. In this way, the center and the surface of the sphere become identical in relation to the point charge potential. In other words, this means that the null interior of the sphere has a constant potential that makes the distribution of charges within the sphere exactly equal to the distribution of charges outside the sphere.

An oil droplet is sprayed into a uniform electric field of adjustable magnitude. The 0.11 g droplet hovers
ohaa [14]

Answer:

The direction of the field is downward, and negatively charged particles will experience an upwards force due to the field.

F = N e E     where E is the value of the field and N e the charge Q

M g = N e E      and M g is the weight of the drop

N = M g / (e E)

N = 1.1E-4 * 9.8 / (1.6E-19 * 370) = 1.1 * 9.8 / (1.6 * 370) * E15 = 1.82E13

.00011 kg is a very large drop

Q = N e = M g / E = .00011 * 9.8 / 370 = 2.91E-6 Coulombs

Check:     N = Q / e = 2.91E-6 / 1.6E-19 = 1.82E13   electrons

Similarities and differences between solar power and coal.
ira [324]
Solar power is renewable, which means it can be used again. However, coal is non-renewable, meaning that once it is used, it can't be used again.

How much more heat is transferred from the ocean to the atmosphere as latent heat rather than as sensible heat
kati45 [8]

The amount of heat transferred from the ocean to the atmosphere as latent heat than sensible heat will be 10 times as much.

Latent heat and sensible heat are defined as follows:

  • Latent heat: It is the heat that leaves/enters a system during a process where the temperature of the system stays constant.
    Examples are phase changes where the latent heat from the system leaves (exothermic) or enters a system (endothermic).

  • Sensible heat: It is the heat that enters or exits a system when the temperature of the system is not constant. The entire heat flows through the two systems and in order to do so it requires a temperature difference between the systems.

Thus, the amount of heat transferred from the ocean to the atmosphere as latent heat than sensible heat will be 10 times as much.

the thermometer has its stem marked in millimeter instead of degree Celsius. the lower fixed point is 30mm and the upper fixed p
Lorico [155]

10°c

Explanation:

Given parameter;

Lower fixed point = 30mm

Upper fixed point = 180mm

Reading = 45mm

Unknown:

The degree celcuis temperature at 45mm = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem we simply compare the mm- scale to the celcius - scale that we know.

The upper fixed point is the boiling point of water

Lower fixed point is the freezing point of water

This shows that both the upper and lower fixed point of both thermometers are the same;

         mm-scale          °c scale

          180mm               100°c

            45mm                x

          30mm                  0°c

Solving;

                     \frac{x - 0}{100 -0} =  \frac{45 - 30 }{180- 30}

   x (150) = 100  x 15

   x = 10°c
