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 plane is flying east when it drops some supplies to a designated target below. The supplies land after falling for 10 seconds.

Ivanshal [37]

Part 1)

here we know that supply took 10 s to reach the ground

so here we will have

$y = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$y = \frac{1}{2}\times 9.8 \times 10^2$

$y = \frac{1}{2}\times 9.8 \times 100$

$y = 490 m$

Part 2)

Here all the supply covered horizontal distance of 650 m in 10 s interval of time

so here we can say

$speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

$v = \frac{650}{10}$

$v = 65 m/s$

Why do objects not cool to absolute zero by emitting all their thermal energy

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Because the object should shrink its volume to zero, which is impossible

Explanation:

Let's talk about gases for simplicity. Ideal gases are governed by the ideal gas equation:

$pV=nRT$

where

p is the gas pressure

V is the volume of the gas

n is the number of moles

R is the gas constant

T is the absolute temperature

From the formula, we see that T and V are directly proportional: therefore, in order for a gas to have an absolute temperature of zero, it must also have a volume of zero, which is impossible.

Kay [80]

<span>Poet Kuangchi Chang did not remain in China long enough to be "re-educated." Following the Communist takeover he fled to the United States. His poem "Garden of My Childhood" describes China before the revolution as a peaceful, idyllic garden with a violent horde rapidly approaching. A vine, the wind, and the sea are each personified, and each beckons for him to run. It is not until "eons later," when he is "worlds away," that his "running is all done," and he finds himself at his destination: another garden, just like the one he had left behind.</span>

An archer shoots an arrow 75 m distant target; the bull's-eye of the target is at the same height as the release height of the a

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

$16.25^{\circ}$

Explanation:

R = Horizontal range of projectile = 75 m

v = Velocity of projectile = 37 m/s

g = Acceleration due to gravity = $9.81\ \text{m/s}^2$

Horizontal range is given by

$R=\dfrac{v^2\sin2\theta}{g}\\\Rightarrow \theta=\dfrac{\sin^{-1}\dfrac{Rg}{v^2}}{2}\\\Rightarrow \theta=\dfrac{\sin^{-1}\dfrac{75\times 9.81}{37^2}}{2}\\\Rightarrow \theta=16.25^{\circ}$

The angle at which the arrow is to be released is $16.25^{\circ}$ .
