At maximum speed an airplane travels 1720 miles against the wind in 5 hours. Flying with the wind, the plane can travel the same

distance in 4 hours. Let X be the maximum speed of the plane and Y be the speed of the wind. What is the speed of the plane with no wind?

An airplane at a maximum speed of 1720 miles against the wind for 5 hours so wha could be the speed of the plane with no wind if the wind could fly the plane with the same distance for 4 hrs and i think the best answer to this problem is 387 and i hope your satisfied with my answer.

Answer:

387 miles / hour

Explanation:

X be the maximum speed of plane and Y be the speed of wind.

Speed is the ratio of distance traveled to the time taken by the body.

When the plane travels against the wind, the speed of the plane is X - Y and when the plane is moving with the wind the speed is X + Y.

According to the formula

$speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

$X - Y = \frac{1720}{5}$

X - Y = 344 ....(1)

And

$X + Y = \frac{1720}{4}$

X - Y = 430 ......(2)

Adding both the equations,

2X = 774

X = 387 miles/hour

According to Newton's Law of Cooling, if a body with temperature T 1 is placed in surroundings with temperature T 0, different f

Mila [183]

We can substitute the given values into the equation for T, given the surrounding temperature T0 = 0, initial temperature T1 = 140, constant k = -0.0815, and time t = 15 minutes.

T = 0 + (140 - 0)e^(-0.0815*15) = 140e^(-1.2225) = 41.23°F

A solenoidal coil with 26 turns of wire is wound tightly around another coil with 350 turns. The inner solenoid is 20.0 cm long

noname [10]

Answer:

Part a)

$\phi = 2.76 \times 10^{-7} T m^2$

Part B)

$M = 5.52 \times 10^{-5} H$

Part C)

$EMF = 0.1 V/s$

Explanation:

Part a)

Magnetic field due to a long ideal solenoid is given by

$B = \mu_0 n i$

n = number of turns per unit length

$n = \frac{N}{L}$

$n = \frac{350}{0.20}$

$n = 1750 turn/m$

now we know that magnetic field due to solenoid is

$B = (4\pi \times 10^{-7})(1750)(0.100)$

$B = 2.2 \times 10^{-4} T$

Now magnetic flux due to this magnetic field is given by

$\phi = B.A$

$\phi = (2.2 \times 10^{-4})(\pi r^2)$

$\phi = (2.2 \times 10^{-4})(\pi(0.02)^2)$

$\phi = 2.76 \times 10^{-7} T m^2$

Part B)

Now for mutual inductance we know that

$\phi_{total} = M i$

$\phi_{total} = N\phi$

$\phi_{total} = 20(2.76 \times 10^{-4})$

$\phi_{total} = 5.52 \times 10^{-6}$

now we have

$M = \frac{5.52 \times 10^{-6}}{0.100}$

$M = 5.52 \times 10^{-5} H$

Part C)

As we know that induced EMF is given as

$EMF = M \frac{di}{dt}$

$EMF = 5.52 \times 10^{-5} (1800)$

$EMF = 0.1 V/s$

Two planets A and B, where B has twice the mass of A, orbit the Sun in elliptical orbits. The semi-major axis of the elliptical

lozanna [386]

Answer:

2.83

Explanation:

Kepler's discovered that the square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit, that is called Kepler's third law of planet motion and can be expressed as:

$T=\frac{2\pi a^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\sqrt{GM}}$ (1)

with T the orbital period, M the mass of the sun, G the Cavendish constant and a the semi major axis of the elliptical orbit of the planet. By (1) we can see that orbital period is independent of the mass of the planet and depends of the semi major axis, rearranging (1):

$\frac{T}{a^{\frac{3}{2}}}=\frac{2\pi}{\sqrt{GM}}$

$\frac{T^{2}}{a^{3}}=(\frac{2\pi }{\sqrt{GM}})^2$ (2)

Because in the right side of the equation (2) we have only constant quantities, that implies the ratio $\frac{T^{2}}{a^{3}}$ is constant for all the planets orbiting the same sun, so we can said that:

$\frac{T_{A}^{2}}{a_{A}^{3}}=\frac{T_{B}^{2}}{a_{B}^{3}}$

$\frac{T_{B}^{2}}{T_{A}^{2}}=\frac{a_{B}^{3}}{a_{A}^{3}}$

$\frac{T_{B}}{T_{A}}=\sqrt{\frac{a_{B}^{3}}{a_{A}^{3}}}=\sqrt{\frac{(2a_{A})^{3}}{a_{A}^{3}}}$

$\frac{T_{B}}{T_{A}}=\sqrt{\frac{2^3}{1}}=2.83$

The coefficient of the restitution of an object is defined as the ratio of its outgoing to incoming speed when the object collid

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

48.16 %

Explanation:

coefficient of restitution = 0.72

let the incoming speed be = u

let the outgoing speed be = v

kinetic energy = 0.5 x mass x $x velocity^{2}$

incoming kinetic energy = 0.5 x m x $x u^{2}$

coefficient of restitution = $\frac{v}{u}$

0.72 = $\frac{v}{u}$

v = 0.72u

therefore the outgoing kinetic energy = 0.5 x m x $(0.72u)^{2}$

outgoing kinetic energy = 0.5 x m x $0.5184 x u^{2}$

outgoing kinetic energy = 0.5184 (0.5 x m x $x u^{2}$ )

recall that 0.5 x m x $x u^{2}$ is our incoming kinetic energy, therefore

outgoing kinetic energy = 0.5184 x (incoming kinetic energy)

from the above we can see that the outgoing kinetic energy is 51.84 % of the incoming kinetic energy.

The energy lost would be 100 - 51.84 = 48.16 %
