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 spherical capacitor contains a charge of 3.00 nC when connected to a potential difference of 230 V. If its plates are separate
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Part(a): the capacitance is 0.013 nF.

Part(b): the radius of the inner sphere is 3.1 cm.

Part(c): the electric field just outside the surface of inner sphere is \bf{2.81 \times 10^{4}~n~C^{-1}}.

Explanation:

We know that if 'a' and 'b' are the inner and outer radii of the shell respectively, 'Q' is the total charge contains by the capacitor subjected to a potential difference of 'V' and '\epsilon_{0}' be the permittivity of free space, then the capacitance (C) of the spherical shell can be written as

C = \dfrac{4 \pi \epsilon_{0}}{(\dfrac{1}{a} - \dfrac{1}{b})}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(1)

Part(a):

Given, charge contained by the capacitor Q = 3.00 nC and potential to which it is subjected to is V = 230V.

So the capacitance (C) of the shell is

C &=& \dfrac{Q}{V} = \dfrac{3 \times 10^{-90}~C}{230~V} = 1.3 \times 10^{-11}~F = 0.013~nF

Part(b):

Given the inner radius of the outer shell b = 4.3 cm = 0.043 m. Therefore, from equation (1), rearranging the terms,

&& \dfrac{1}{a} = \dfrac{1}{b} + \dfrac{1}{C/4 \pi \epsilon_{0}} = \dfrac{1}{0.043} + \dfrac{1}{1.3 \times 10^{-11} \times 9 \times 10^{9}} = 31.79\\&or,& a = \dfrac{1}{31.79}~m = 0.031~m = 3.1~cm

Part(c):

If we apply Gauss' law of electrostatics, then

&& E~4 \pi a^{2} = \dfrac{Q}{\epsilon_{0}}\\&or,& E = \dfrac{Q}{4 \pi \epsilon_{0}a^{2}}\\&or,& E = \dfrac{3 \times 10^{-9} \times 9 \times 10^{9}}{0.031^{2}}~N~C^{-1}\\&or,& E = 2.81 \times 10^{4}~N~C^{-1}
