Answer:

Speed of the jet is U = 1170 miles/hr

Speed of the jet stream is V = 160 miles/hr

Explanation:

Let

The speed of the jet = U

The speed of the jet stream = V

Flying speed with the jet stream = U+V

Flying speed against the jet stream = U-V

Now we know that speed = distance / time

Now flying speed with jet stream, U+V = 10640 / 8

                                                                 = 1330 miles/hr   ------(1)

        flying speed against the jet stream, U-V = 6060 / 6

                                                                             = 1010 miles/hr  -----(2)

Therefore, speed of the jet stream,

subtract (2) from (1), we get

( U+V ) - ( U-V ) = 1330-1010

2V = 320

V = 160 miles/hr

Therefore the speed of the jet stream is V = 160 miles/hr

Now from (1), we know

U+V = 1330

U + 160 =1330

U = 1170 miles/hr

Therefore, speed of the jet is U = 1170 miles/hr

A 10-kg wagon is pulled by a force of 70 Newtons while friction provides 20 Newtons of force. How much acceleration will the wag
kkurt [141]

Answer:

5m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of wagon  = 10kg

Force of pull  = 70N

Frictional force = 20N

Unknown:

Acceleration of the wagon = ?

Solution:

Frictional force is a force that opposes motion.

The net force is given as:

   Net force  = mass x acceleration

 Force of pull  - Frictional force = mass x acceleration

 Insert the parameters and solve;

     70 - 20  = 10 x acceleration

       50  = 10 x acceleration

      Acceleration  = 5m/s²

A single point charge q is located at the center of both an imaginary cube and an imaginary sphere. How does the electric flux t
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electric flux is defined as the flow of electric field intensity through a given surface.

Mathematically:

\phi=E.A.cos\ \theta

where:

E = electric field

A = area

θ = angle between the area vector and the electric field

Electric flux through the surface of a sphere will be uniform throughout the surface area due to a charge at the center of the sphere. The distance of the surface from the center is always at a constant distance of radius of the sphere.

Electric flux through the surface of a cube will be varying as the surface area is at a varying distance from the center of the cube. The distance of the surface from the center is not at a uniform distance from the center of the cube and so the projection of solid angle changes.
