A passenger jet travels from Los angles to Bombay, India, in 22 h. The return flight takes 17 h. The difference in flight times

is caused by winds over the Pacific Ocean that blows primarily from west to east. If the jet’s speed is 550 m/h, what is the speed of the wind during the round-trip flight?

Answer:

70.5 mph

Explanation:

A passenger jet travels from Los Angeles to Bombay, India, in 22h.

The return flight takes 17 h.

The difference in flight times is caused by winds over the Pacific Ocean that

blow primarily from west to east.

If the jet's average speed in still air is 550 mi/h what is the average speed

of the wind during the round trip flight? Round to the nearest mile per hour.

Is your answer reasonable?

:

Let w = speed of the wind

:

Write a distance equation (dist is the same both ways

17(550+w) = 22(550-w)

9350 + 17w = 12100 - 22w

17w + 22w = 12100 - 9350

39w = 2750

W = 2750/39

w = 70.5 mph seems very reasonable

:

Confirming if the solution by finding the distances using these value

17(550+70.5) = 10549 mi

22(550-70.5) = 10549 mi; confirms our solution of w = 70.5 mph

A parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a battery. The space between the two plates is empty. If the separation between the c
Maru [420]

Answer:

The final stored energy will become half.

Explanation:

 We know that stored energy in the capacitor is given as

E=\dfrac{1}{2}CV^2

C=capacitance

V=Voltage difference

E=Energy

C=\dfrac{\varepsilon A}{d}

d=Distance between plates

A=Area

E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{\varepsilon A}{d}\times V^2

If the distance between plates get double ,say d' = 2 d

Then stored energy

E'=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{\varepsilon A}{d'}\times V^2

E'=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{\varepsilon A}{2d}\times V^2

E'=\dfrac {E}{2}

Therefore the final stored energy will become half.

A block of mass 500g is pulled from rest on ahorizontal frictionless bench by a steady force F and travels 8m in 2s find the acc
Korvikt [17]

<u>We are Given:</u>

Mass of the block (m) = 500 grams or 0.5 Kg

Initial velocity of the block (u) = 0 m/s

Distance travelled by the block (s) = 8 m

Time taken to cover 8 m (t)= 2 seconds

Acceleration of the block (a) = a m/s²

<u>Solving for the acceleration:</u>

From the seconds equation of motion:

s = ut + 1/2* (at²)

<em>replacing the variables</em>

8 = (0)(2) + 1/2(a)(2)²

8 = 2a

a = 4 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the block is 4 m/s²

To form a hydrogen atom, a proton is fixed at a point and an electron is brought from far away to a distance of 0.529 ✕ 10−10 m,
Elodia [21]
1) First of all, let's calculate the potential difference between the initial point (infinite) and the final point (d=0.529x10-10 m) of the electron.
This is given by:
\Delta V =- \int\limits^{d}_{\infty} {E} \, dr
Where E is the electric field generated by the proton, which is
E=k_e  \frac{q}{r^2} 
where k_e=8.99\cdot10^9~Nm^2C^{-2} is the Coulomb constant and q=1.6\cdot10^{-19}~C is the proton charge.
Replacing the electric field formula inside the integral, we obtain
\Delta V =- \int\limits^{d}_{\infty} {k_e  \frac{q}{r^2} } \, dr = k_e  \frac{q}{d}= 27~V

2) Then, we can calculate the work done by the electric field to move the electron (charge q_e=-1.6\cdot10^{-19}C) through this \Delta V. The work is given by
W=-q_e \Delta V = - (-1.6\cdot10^{-19}C) (27V)=4.35\cdot10^{-18}~J
