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 solar eclipse that occurs when the new moon is too far from earth to completely cover the sun can be either a partial solar ec
Sonja [21]
1) <span>A solar eclipse that occurs when the new moon is too far from earth to completely cover the sun can be either a partial solar eclipse or an -->
Answer: ANULAR ECLIPSE. Since the moon is too far, it will cover only a part of the sun, and only the external ring of the moon will be visible; this is called anular eclipse.

2) </span><span>anyone looking from the night side of earth can, in principle, see a -->
Answer: LUNAR ECLIPSE. If the moon is the right position, and the Earth's shadow covers partially or totally the moon, then a lunar eclipse occurs.

3) </span><span>during some lunar eclipses, the moon's appearance changes only slightly, because it passes only through the part of earth's shadow called the -->
Answer: PENUMBRA. 

4) </span><span>a ... can occur only when the moon is new and has an angular size larger than the sun in the sky -->
Answer: TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE. When the moon is new, it means it is between the sun and the Earth, and its dark side faces the Earth. If the moon's angular size is also larger than the sun angular size, than it will completely cover the sun, and a total solar eclipse occurs.

5) </span><span>a partial lunar eclipse begins when the moon first touches earth's --> 
Answer: SHADOW. The Earth's shadow will start to cover the moon, and partial lunar eclipse will start.

6) </span><span> a point at which the moon crosses earth's orbital plane is called a(n)  --> 
Answer: NODE. Eclipses occur only when the Moon is at or close to a node, otherwise sun, earth and moon are not "aligned".</span>

You push a desk with 245 N, but the desk doesn't move due to its friction with the ground. What is the magnitude of the friction
const2013 [10]

If the desk doesn't move, then it's not accelerating.

If it's not accelerating, then the net force on it is zero.

If the net force on it is zero, then any forces on it are balanced.

If there are only two forces on it and they're balanced, then they have equal strengths, and they point in opposite directions.

So the friction on the desk must be equal to your<em> 245N</em> .
