 Best Answer:<span>  </span><span>The net angle between the direction of flight of the aircraft and the wind in the opposing direction is 20. THe component opposing the aircraft is 2.4*cos 20 KN 
= 2400 * 0.9397 = 2255.2622 N. The distance covered is 120 Km 
The work done by the aircraft overcoming the wind is 
= 2255.2622 * 120000 = 270631464 = 2.71 x 10^8 N 
As the question is trickily worded as : the work done on the plane by the air (wind) the answer is -2.71 x 10^8 J . (fourth option)</span>

-2.71 × 10⁸ J of work is done on the plane by the air

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Let's recall the formula of Work and Kinetic Energy as follows:

\boxed {E_k = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 }

\boxed {W = Fd }

<em>Ek = Kinetic Energy ( Newton )</em>

<em>m = Object's Mass ( kg )</em>

<em>v = Speed of Object ( m/s )</em>

<em>W = Work ( Joule )</em>

<em>F = magnitude of Force ( N )</em>

<em>d = displacement ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

displacement of airplane = d = 120 km = 1.2 × 10⁵ m

direction of velocity of airplane = θ = 30.0° North of East

horizontal force of the wind = f = 2.40 kN = 2.40 × 10³ N

direction of the force = α = 10.0° South of West

<u>Asked:</u>

work done on the plane by the air = W = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

We will use Work formula to solve this problem as follows:

W = F d

W = - f d \cos \beta

W = - f d \cos (\theta - \alpha)

W = - (2.40 \times 10^3) \times (1.2 \times 10^5) \times \cos ( 30.0^o - 10.0^o )

W \approx - 2.71 \times 10^8 \texttt{ J}

\texttt{ }

<em>Negative sign</em> means the direction of force is opposite to the direction of displacement.

Which of the following statements is TRUE about updating the exposure control plan?
iren2701 [21]

Statements that are true as regards exposure control plan and its updating are;

<em>Updates must have the  reflection of changes in tasks as well in procedures.</em>

<em>Updates must reflect changes in positions that affect occupational exposure.</em>

<em>Updates must have the cost of PPE that is needed and  necessary to reduce exposure</em>

An exposure control plan can be regarded as  the framework for compliance between the employer and the workers.

  • This framework give room for the employer to creates a written plan that will help in protecting their workers from bloodborne pathogens.

  • This plan gives hope to workers in term of protection when working with their Employer.

  • There are some elements that is associated with  Exposure Control Plan, and theses are;
  1. Health hazards as well as  risk that is attributed to  each product in the worksite.
  2. Statement of purpose.
  3. procedures and practices in a written form
  4. Responsibilities from the Manager, CEO, designated resources and employer.

Therefore, exposure control plan is avenue to protect workers from bloodborne pathogens.

Hitungkan pecutan bagi blok di bawah: / Cal<br>(a)<br>m= 2 kg<br>F= 8.0 N​
ioda

Answer:

Acceleration = 4 m/s²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Force = 8 N

Mass = 2 kg

To find the acceleration of the block;

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of a physical object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the physical object and inversely proportional to its mass.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Acceleration = \frac {Net \; force}{mass}

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Acceleration = \frac {8}{2}

Acceleration = 4 m/s²

What will be the force if the particle's charge is tripled and the electric field strength is halved? Give your answer in terms
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

1.5F

Explanation:

Using

E= F/q

Where F= force

E= electric field

q=charge

F= Eq

So if qis tripled and E is halved we have

F= (E/2)3q

F= 1.5Eq=>> 1.5F
