The resultant speed of the plane is (3) 226 m/s

Why?

We can calculate the resultant speed of the plane by using the Pythagorean Theorem since both speeds are perpendicular (forming a right triangle).

So, calculating we have:

$ResultantSpeed=\sqrt{VerticalSpeed^{2}+HorizontalSpeed^{2}}\\\\ResultantSpeed=\sqrt{(220\frac{m}{s})^{2}+50\frac{m}{s})^{2}$

$ResulntantSpeed=\sqrt{48400\frac{m^{2} }{s^{2} }+2500\frac{m^{2} }{s^{2} } } \\\\ResultantSpeed=\sqrt{50900\frac{m^{2} }{s^{2} }}=226\frac{m}{s}$

Hence, we have that the resultant speed of the plane is (3) 226 m/s

Have a nice day!

A round pipe of varying diameter carries petroleum from a wellhead to a refinery. At the wellhead, the pipe's diameter is 57.3 c

Mashcka [7]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Diameter of pipe, $d_1=0.573 m$

$v_1=13.5 m/s$

$v_2=5.83 m/s$

Volume flow rate of the petroleum along the pipe= $Q_{refinery}=A_1v_1=v_(\frac{\pi d^2_1}{4})$

$Q_{refinery}=13.5\times (\pi\times \frac{0.573)^2}{4})=3.48 m^3/s$

By equation of continuity

$A_1v_1=A_2v_2$

$\frac{\pi d^2_1}{4}v_1=\frac{\pi d^2_2}{4}v_2$

$d^2_2=\frac{v_1}{v_2}d^2_1$

$d_2=\sqrt{\frac{v_1}{v_2}}d_1$

$d_2=0.573\sqrt{\frac{13.5}{5.83}}$

$d_2=0.87 m$

$d_2=0.87\time 100=87 cm$

1 m=100 cm

A parallel plate capacitor fully charged to voltage V is connected to the battery (the voltage on the plates remains fixed). If

Papessa [141]

Charge will decreases.

A parallel plate capacitor when it is fully charged to voltage V is given as:

C = Q/V

The capacitance of parallel plate capacitor with two plates of Area A separated by distance d and no dielectric material between plates is

C = ε₀ A /d

since from above equation it shows C is proportional to Q and also C is inversely proportional to distance d.

So, ATQ when d increases C will decrease which in result decreases charge on the capacitor.

Thus, Charge will decrease.

Suppose the student in (Figure 1) is 68kg, and the board being stood on has a 12kg mass. What is the reading on the left scale?

lesantik [10]

The equilibrium conditions allow to find the results for the balance forces are:

F₁ = 225.4 N

F₂ = 558.6 N

When the acceleration is zero we have the equilibrium conditions for both linear and rotational motion.

∑ F = 0

∑ τ = 0

Where F are the forces and τ the torques.

The torque is the product of the force and the perpendicular distance to the point of support,

The free-body diagrams are diagrams of the forces without the details of the bodies, see attached for the free-body diagram of the system.

We write the translational equilibrium condition.

F₁ - W₁ - W₂ + F₂ = 0

We write the equation for the rotational motion, set our point of origin at scale 1, and the counterclockwise turns are positive.

F₂ 2 - W₁ 1 - W₂ 1.5 = 0 $\frac{W_1 \ 1 + W_2 \ 1.5}{2}$
