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 water skier lets go of the tow rope upon leaving the end ofa
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

1.35m

Explanation:

At the highest point of the jump, the vertical speed of the skier should be 0. So the 13m/s speed is horizontal, this speed stays the same from the jumping point to the highest point. The 14m/s speed at jumping point is the combination of both vertical and horizontal speeds.

The vertical speed at the jumping point can be computed:

v_v^2 + v_h^2 = v^2

v_v^2 + 13^2 = 14^2

v_v^2 = 196 - 169 = 27

v_v = \sqrt{27} = 5.2 m/s

When the skier jumps to the its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy:

E_p = E_k

mgh = mv_v^2/2

where m is the skier mass and h is the vertical distance traveled, v_v is the vertical velocity at jumping point, and h is the highest point.

Let g = 10m/s2

We can divide both sides of the equation by m:

gh = v_v^2/2

h = \frac{v_v^2}{2g} = \frac{27}{2*10} = 1.35 m

Can somebody please help me? PLEASE
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

The 1st Answer

Explanation:

Because kinetic energy is the energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion. So if the velocity of the object (cannonball in this case) decreases than so would the kinetic energy

Stop lamps must be visible within____ to the rear
Charra [1.4K]
The answer is 300 feet. The stop lamp or lamps on the rear of a vehicle must show a red light that is set in motion upon application of the service or foot brake and, in a vehicle manufactured or assembled on or after January 1, 1964, must be visible from a distance of not less than 300 feet to the rear in normal sunlight. Take note, if the vehicle is manufactured or assembled January 1, 1964, the stop lamp or lamps must be visible from a distance of not less than 100 feet. Also, the stop lamp may be combined with one or more other rear lamps.
