An airplane pilot wishes to fly directly westward. According to the weather bureau, a wind of 75.0km/hour is blowing southward.

The speed of the plane relative to the air (called the air speed) as measured by instruments aboard the plane is 310km/hour . In which direction should the pilot head?
1. The wind is blowing southward at 75.0km/hour . In what frame of reference is this speed measured?

a. The speed is measured relative to the plane.
b. The speed is measured relative to the air.
c. The speed is measured relative to the ground.

2. An airplane pilot wishes to fly directly westward. According to the weather bureau, a wind of 75.0km/hour is blowing southward. The speed of the plane relative to the air (called the air speed) as measured by instruments aboard the plane is 310km/hour . In which direction should the pilot head?

3. In this particular problem, you can compare the speed of the plane relative to the ground (the ground speed) to known quantities to evaluate the reasonableness of your answer. Find the ground speed of the plane, vP/G.

Answer:

a)  correct answer is C , b) 14º  from the west to the north, c)   v_{1g} = 300.79 km / h

Explanation:

This is a relative speed exercise using the addition of speeds.

1) when it is not specified regarding what is being measured, the medicine is carried out with respect to the Z Earth, therefore the correct answer is C

2 and 3) In this case we must compose the speed using the Pythagorean Theorem.

     v_{1a}² = v_{1g}² + v_{ag}²

where v_{1a} is the speed of the airplane with respect to the air, v_{1g} airplane speed with respect to the Earth, v_{ag} air speed with respect to the Earth

in this case let's clear the speed of the airplane with respect to the Earth

  v_{1g} = √(v_{1a}² - v_{ag}²)

 v_{1g} = √ (310² - 75²)

 v_{1g} = 300.79 km / h

we find the direction of the airplane using trigonometry

   sin θ = v_{ag} / v_{1a}

   θ = sin⁻¹ (v_{ag} /v_{1a})

   θ = sin⁻¹ (75/310)

   θ= 14º

the pilot must direct the aircraft at an angle of 14º from the west to the north

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

They were produced by stars that lived and died before our solar system was born.

Explanation:

According to what it's understood today, all elements heavier than hydrogen (including helium and excluding some that were created in laboratories) are created through nuclear fusion in the core of stars.

They start fusing hydrogen into helium, then as the star grows older helium is fused into beryllium and so on for all the periodic table.

So as far as science understands it today it's a literal truth that we are made of stars. (as almost everything else)

A charged sphere with 1 × 10 8 units of negative charge is brought near a neutral metal rod. The half of the rod closer to the s
jeyben [28]

Answer:

-4*10⁴ units.

Explanation:

As the metal rod was initially neutral (which means that it has the same quantity of positive and negative charges), after being close to the charged sphere, as charge must be conserved, the total charge of the metal rod must  still remain to be zero.

So, if due to the influence of the negative charge in the sphere, the half of the road closer to the sphere has a surplus charge of +4*10⁴ units, the charge on the half of the rod farther from the sphere must be the same in magnitude but of the opposite sign, i.e., -4*10⁴ units.

A red train travelling at 72 km/h and a green train travelling at 144 km/h are headed toward each
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

  Collision will occur.

  Speed of red train when they collide = 0 m/s.

  Speed of green train when they collide = 10 m/s.

Explanation:

Speed of red train = 72 km/h = 20 m/s

Speed of green train = 144 km/h = 40 m/s.

Deceleration of trains = 1 m/s²

For red train:-

    Equation of motion v = u + at

              u = 20 m/s

              v = 0 m/s

              a = -1 m/s²

    Substituting

             0 = 20 - 1 x t

             t = 20 s.

    Equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

              u = 20 m/s

              t = 20 s

              a = -1 m/s²    

    Substituting

             s = 20 x 20 - 0.5 x 1 x 20² = 200 m

   So red train travel 200 m before coming to stop.

For green train:-

    Equation of motion v = u + at

              u = 40 m/s

              v = 0 m/s

              a = -1 m/s²

    Substituting

             0 = 40 - 1 x t

             t = 40 s.

    Equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

              u = 40 m/s

              t = 40 s

              a = -1 m/s²    

    Substituting

             s = 40 x 40 - 0.5 x 1 x 40² = 800 m

   So green train travel 800 m before coming to stop.

 Total distance traveled = 800 + 200 = 1000 m>950 m.

  So both trains collide.

  Distance traveled by green train when red train stops(t=20s)

     Equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

              u = 40 m/s

              t = 20 s

              a = -1 m/s²    

    Substituting

             s = 40 x 20 - 0.5 x 1 x 20² = 600 m

    Total distance after 20 s = 600 + 200 = 800 m< 950m . So they collide after red train stops.

  Speed of red train when they collide = 0 m/s.

  Distance traveled by green train when they collide = 950 - 200 = 750 m

  Equation of motion v² = u² + 2as

              u = 40 m/s

              s= 750 m

              a = -1 m/s²    

    Substituting  

              v² = 40² - 2 x 1 x 750 = 100

               v = 10 m/s

  Speed of green train when they collide = 10 m/s.
