Answer:

50.09 km/h

Explanation:

Given that an airplane flying due north at 90 km/h is being blown due west. The planes total velocity is 103 km/ hr north west.

What is velocity of the wind ?

The wind velocity can be calculated by using pythagorean theorem.

From the question,

Resultant Velocity R = 103 km/h

Plane velocity P = 90 km/h

Wind velocity W = ?

W^2 = R^2 - P^2

Substitutes all the parameters into the formula

W^2 = 103^2 - 90^2

W^2 = 10609 - 8100

W^2 = 2509

W = sqrt ( 2509 )

W = 50.09 km/h

Therefore, the velocity of the wind is 50.09 km/h

An elevator accelerates upward at 1.2 m/s 2 . the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . what is the upward force exerted by the
Marysya12 [62]
We can find the force by using the following formula;
N = ma +  mg
Fa = ma = 76 x 1.2 = 91.2
Fg = mg = 76 x 9.8 = 744.8
N = 91.2 + 744.8 = 836
So, the force is 836 N.

A diverging lens (f1 = -12.0cm) is located 50.0 cm to the left of a converging lens (f2 = 34.0 cm). A 2.0 cm-tall object stands
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

The final image relative to the converging lens is 34 cm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Focal length of diverging lens = -12.0 cm

Focal length of converging lens = 34.0 cm

Height of object = 2.0 cm

Distance of object = 12 cm

Because object at focal point

We need to calculate the image distance of diverging lens

Using formula of lens

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}-\dfrac{1}{u}

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{-12}-\dfrac{1}{-12}

v=\infty

The rays are parallel to the principle axis after passing from the diverging lens.

We need to calculate the image distance of converging lens

Now, object distance is ∞

Using formula of lens

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{34}-\dfrac{1}{\infty}

v=34

The image distance is 34 cm right to the converging lens.

Hence, The final image relative to the converging lens is 34 cm.

The force an ideal spring exerts on an object is given by Fx = -kx, where x measures the displacement of the object from its equ
shusha [124]

Answer:

The work done by this force can be found via the following formula

W = \int{F(x)} \, dx = \int\limits^0_{-20} {(-kx)} \, dx = \frac{-kx^2}{2}\left \{ {{x=0} \atop {x=-20}} \right. = \frac{-60*(-20)^2}{2} \\W = -12000J

Explanation:

Alternatively, the work done by the object is equal to the elastic potantial energy done by the spring.

U = \frac{1}{2}kx_2^2 - \frac{1}{2}kx_1^2 =0 - \frac{1}{2}60(-20)^2 = -12000J
