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

The magnitude of the net force versus time graph has a rectangular shape. Often in physics geometric properties of graphs have p
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

In this particular case, the area of the graph represents the impulse.

In fact, impulse is defined as the change in momentum of an object:

I=\Delta p

Moreover, impulse is also defined as the product between the magnitude of the force acting on an object and the duration of the collision:

I=F\Delta t

If we plot a graph of the force versus the time, if the force is constant then this graph will have a rectangular shape, and the area under the graph will simply be the product

F\cdot \Delta t

which corresponds to the definition of impulse.

How much force is required to accelerate a 12 kg mass at 5 m/s 2
Savatey [412]

Answer:

60 N

Explanation:

This is just Newton's Second Law

F = m*a

F = ?

m = 12 kg

a = 5 m/^2

F = 5*12 = 60 Newtons

What type of energy can take up space
Arada [10]

Answer:

Yes energy does take up space.

Explanation:

Every form of energy has a defining characteristic; sound is the vibration of molecules, electricity is the movement of electrons, and mass is the thing that take up space.
