A small plane flies at a speed of 102 km/h in still air. Suppose the wind blows out from the west (with the air moving east) at

a speed of 46 km/h.A) In what direction must the pilot head her plane to move directly north across land?B) How long does it take her to reach a point 300 km directly north of her srarting point?

Answer:

2.68 hours

Explanation:

A.) Suppose the wind blows out from the west (with the air moving east). The pilot should then head her plane to northwest direction to move directly north.

B.) Given that plane flies at a speed of 102 km/h in still air. And the wind blows out from the west (with the air moving east) at a speed of 46 km/h.

The plan resultant speed can be calculated by using pythagorean theorem.

Resultant Speed = Sqrt( 102^2 + 46^2 )

Resultant Speed = Sqrt( 12520)

Resultant speed = 111.89 km/h

From the definition of speed,

Speed = distance/time

Where distance = 300 km

Substitute the resultant speed and the distance into the formula.

111.89 = 300/time

Time = 300/111.89

Time = 2.68 hours

Therefore, it take her 2.68 hours to reach a point 300 km directly north of her srarting point

A block is projected up a frictionless inclined plane with initial speed v0 = 1.72 m/s. The angle of incline is θ = 44.8°. (a) H
Snowcat [4.5K]

Explanation:

Given

initial velocity(v_0)=1.72 m/s

\theta =44.8{\circ}

using v^2-u^2=2as

Where v=final velocity (Here v=0)

u=initial velocity(1.72 m/s)

a=acceleration   (gsin\theta )

s=distance traveled

0-(1.72)^2=2(-9.81\times sin(44.8))s

s=0.214 m

(b)time taken to travel 0.214 m

v=u+at

0=1.72-gsin(44.8)\times t

t=\frac{1.72}{9.8\times sin(44.8)}

t=0.249 s

(c)Speed of the block at bottom

v^2-u^2=2as

Here u=0 as it started coming downward

v^2=2\times gsin(44.8)\times 0.214

v=\sqrt{2.985}

v=1.72 m/s

Over the last several decades, scientists have addressed the problem of nonrenewable natural resources such as fossil fuels. Hum
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The nuclear energy is defined as a type of energy which liberates either by the process of nuclear fusion or nuclear fission and is mainly used to generate electricity. This energy is stored in the core of an atom (or nucleus).

It is highly effective, cost-effective and there is no emission of greenhouse gases.

But it also has some disadvantages, of which one is that it produces radioactive waste materials, which are difficult to dispose these substances and is also a very expensive method. These materials emit radiations that are harmful to the organisms. So, it is very challenging to dispose these radioactive waste materials.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

How can you drop two eggs the fewest amount of times, without them breaking?
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Both eggs are identical. The aim is to find out the highest floor from which an egg will not break when dropped out of a window from that floor. If an egg is dropped and does not break, it is undamaged and can be dropped again. However, once an egg is broken, that's it for that egg.

Den pushes a desk 400 cm across the floor. He exerts a force of 10 N for 8 s to move the desk.
stellarik [79]

Answer: The correct option is Option b.

Explanation:

Power is defined as the rate of work done by an object.

Mathematically,

P=\frac{W}{t}    .....(1)

And work done is the product of force exerted on the object times the displacement covered by that object.

Mathematically,

W=F.s

Putting this value in above equation, we get:

P=\frac{F.s}{t}

where,

P = power = ?W

F = Force exerted = 10N

s = Displacement = 400cm = 4m   (Conversion factor: 1m = 100 cm)

t = Time taken = 8s

Putting values in above equation, we get

P=\frac{10\times 4}{8}\\\\P=5W

Hence, the correct option is Option b.
