 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.

A car with mass m traveling at speed v has kinetic energy k. what is the kinetic energy of a second car that has the same mass m
vampirchik [111]
Kinetic energy, KE, is modeled by the formula KE =  \frac{1}{2}mv^2, where m is the mass in kg and v is the velocity in m/s.

In this scenario, mass and one-half are constant but the velocity changes. 

You can see that by squaring twice the velocity, that is equal to four times the original KE. Therefore, the answer is 4k.

In lecture, it was discussed measurements of mass, temperature, time, volume and length. which of these is not an si base unit (
photoshop1234 [79]

From the options provided in the question, the measurement which is not an SI base unit is volume.

<h3>What is SI base unit?</h3>

This is referred to as the standard and fundamental unit of measurement of various quantities or variables which is defined arbitrarily and not by combinations of other units.

Volume is a quantity which is derived from the combination of lengths in a  three-dimensional manner which is why the formula is length× breadth×height and the unit is cm³. This is gotten from the combination of the unit of length which is cm.

This is therefore the reason why volume was chosen as the most appropriate choice.

Assume that the body's muscle mechanism can be approximated by a spring with a uniform continuous mass distribution that follows
tatiyna

Based on Hooke's law, the spring constant of the the body's muscle mechanism is the ratio of force to extension, the effective mass is m/3 and the potential energy that can be stored is ke^2 / 2.

<h3>What is the spring constant?</h3>

The spring constant or stiffness constant of an elastic spring is constant which describes the extent a bit forceapplied to an elastic spring will extend it.

  • Spring constant, K = force/extension

Assuming, a body's muscle mechanism is a spring obeying Hooke's law, the effective mass of the spring with mass m is 1/3 of the mass of the spring = m/3

The potential energy that can be stored = ke^2 / 2

where K is spring constant and e is the extension produced.

Therefore, the spring constant of the the body's muscle mechanism is the ratio of force to extension, the effective mass is m/3 and the potential energy that can be stored is ke^2 / 2.
