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

How much time does it take 9,560 joules of work with 860 watts of power
tia_tia [17]

Explanation:

use equation power=watts/time

to find time rearrange to make time = power/wats

so you have your equation substitute the numbers

so 9560J/860W is 11 minutes

How does the strong nuclear force hold the nucleus of an atom together?
erastovalidia [21]

The strong nuclear force holds the nucleus of an atom together.  

Somehow, it overcomes the electrical force of repulsion between protons in the nucleus, which all have the same charge but still stay close together somehow. (b)

D) Temperature

You measure temperature with a thermometer. You can use it to measure you r temperature if you're sick, or you use it to measure the temperature outside. A, B, and C do not work with a thermometer. You would use a different device for those.
