Answer:

D.  825 km/hr westward

Explanation:

In order to solve the problem, we should define a positive and a negative direction for the velocities.

Let's take positive (+) as westward and negative (-) as eastward.

1) Relative to the ground, the air is moving eastward at 82 km/h, so the air velocity is v'=-82 km/h

2) Relative to the air, the airplane is moving westward at 907 km/h, so its velocity is v=+907 km/h

In the reference system of the ground, the velocity of the airplane will be given by the velocity of the airplane in the reference system of the air (v) plus the velocity of the reference system of the air relative to the ground (v'):

V=v+v'

Therefore, substituting:

V=907 km/h+(-82 km/h)=+825 km/h

And the sign (+) means its direction is westward.

Which of the following are likely to be physical changes to an object?
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

The correct option is 'd': The change in shape of an object.

Explanation:

Since by definition physical change is defined as a change that changes only the form of an object or substance and producing no change in the chemical composition of the substance. Physical changes are reversible in nature.

As we can see from all the options the change in the shape of the object is a reversible change as we can always remold any substance in any shape, thus it confirms to a physical change.

The change in the molecular composition of an object is a hallmark of a chemical reaction thus indicates a chemical change.

The smell change in an object is an indication of a chemical change in the object hence is not a physical change.

Solar evaporation ponds are shallow so that the sun can heat them up, causing the water to evaporate, which increases the salt c
ehidna [41]

Answer:

B. stearothermophilus and S. ruber

Explanation:

B. stearothermophilus and S. ruber

In solar evaporation ponds the temperature is higher and the salt concentration is also higher because of the water evaporated so sunder such extreme conditions this hybrid bacteria is capable of surviving. B. stearothermophilus is thermophilus bacteria which grows at high temperature and S. ruber is halophilic bacteria which grows in saline environment. So, these two bacteria best suited for the above hybrid condition.

Which shows a decrease in fluid pressure? A. A fan is turned from high speed to low speed. B. Oxygen is compressed as it is put
Volgvan

Answer:

Option A.

A fan is turned from high speed to low speed.

Explanation:

It is important to note that air is also a fluid.

In a system, static pressure of air increases with the speed of rotation of the fan. This is because when the speed of the fan is increased, the force with which it is pushing the air molecules is increased. Since pressure is a relationship between force and area, the pressure of the air molecules will be increased.

Conversely, when the speed of the fan is reduced, the priming force on the air molecules will be reduced, hence the pressure of the air will drop.

This makes option A the correct option
