Answer:

3500 m

Explanation:

To find the horizontal displacement of the box of supplies, we just need to analyze its horizontal motion.

The horizontal motion of the box is a uniform motion with constant velocity, since there are no forces acting along this direction. Therefore, the horizontal displacement is given by

d=v_x t

where

v_x is the horizontal velocity

t is the time

The horizontal velocity of the supplies is the same as the plane, therefore

v_x = 200 m/s

So, since the time of flight is

t = 17.5 s

The horizontal displacement is

d=(200)(17.5)=3500 m

Solution:
We need to find the magnitude of the resultant on both x- and y-axis.

x-axis) The resultant on the x-axis is
F_x = 65 N\cdot cos 30^{\circ} - 30 N - 20 N\cdot sin 20^{\circ} = 19.45 N
in the positive direction.

y-axis) The resultant on the y-axis is
F_y = 65 N \cdot sin 30^{\circ} - 20 N \cdot cos 20^{\circ} = 13.70 N
in the positive direction.

Both Fx and Fy are positive, so the resultant is in the first quadrant. We can find the angle and so the direction using
\tan \alpha =  \frac{F_y}{F_x} = \frac{13.70 N}{19.45 N}=0.7
from which we find 
\alpha=35^{\circ}

The EMF of the battery includes the force to to drive across its internal resistance. the total resistance:  
R = internal resistance r + resistance connected rv 
R = r + rv  
Now find the current:  
V 1= IR 
I = R / V1  
find the voltage at the battery terminal (which is net of internal resistance) using  
V 2= IR  
So the voltage at the terminal is:  
V = V2 - V1  
This is the potential difference vmeter measured by the voltmeter.

hram777 [196]

Answer:

e) indicated that the speed of light is the same in all inertial reference frames.

Explanation:

In 18th century, many scientists believed that the light just like air and water needs a medium to travel. They called this medium <em>aether</em>. They believed that even the space is not empty and filled with aether.

Michelson and Morley tried to prove the presence and speed of this aether through an interference experiment in 1887. They made an interferometer in which light was emitted at various angles with respect to the supposed aether. Both along the flow and against the flow to see the difference in the speed of light. But they did not find no major difference and thus it became the first proof to disprove the theory of aether.

It thus proved that the speed of light remains same in all inertial frames.

Also, it became a base for the special theory of relativity by Einstein.

Everything on this page is solved with the SAME formula !

             Distance = (speed) x (time) .


Before I get into how to solve each problem, we need to notice that
this whole sheet deals with speed, NOT velocity.

'Velocity' is speed AND THE DIRECTION OF THE  MOTION.
Nothing on this page ever mentions direction, so there's no velocity
anywhere on the page.

Your teacher may not be happy if you talk about this on your homework,
but that's too bad.  Just don't say "velocity" in any of your answers.
Say "speed", and if the teacher complains about that, then it's time to
let the teacher have it with both barrels.
 

1).  Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

2).  Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

3).  Distance  =  (average speed of travel) x (time traveling at that speed)

4).  Time to cover the distance = (distance) / (speed)

5).  Car's     speed = (distance the car covered)        / (time the car took)
      Sprinter speed = (distance the sprinter covered) / (time the sprinter took)

      Calculate the car's speed.
      Calculate the sprinter's speed.
     
      ... Look at the two speeds.
          Decide which one is faster.
     
      ... Subtract the slower one from the faster one. 
          The difference is the answer to "by how much?" .

6).  Distance  =  (speed) x (time spent moving at that speed)

7).  Average speed  =  (TOTAL distance covered)
                                      divided by
                                    (time to cover the TOTAL distance).
