Answer:

The new speed of the aircraft with respect to the ground is 1414.3 mph.

Explanation:

Given that,

Angle = 37°

Velocity of jet airliner = 693 mph

Velocity of wind = 798 mph

We know that,

The new velocity of the aircraft with respect to the ground

v=v_{a}+v_{w}

We need to calculate the new speed of the aircraft with respect to the ground

Using formula for velocity

v=\sqrt{(v_{a})^2+(v_{w})^2+2v_{a}v_{w}\cos\theta}

Put the value into the formula

v=\sqrt{(693)^2+(798)^2+2\times693\times798\cos37}

v=1414.3\ mph

Hence, The new speed of the aircraft with respect to the ground is 1414.3 mph.

Suppose that a steel bridge, 1000 m long, were built without any expansion joints. Suppose that only one end of the bridge was h
Stels [109]

Answer:

The difference in the length of the bridge is 0.42 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length = 1000 m

Winter temperature = 0°C

Summer temperature = 40°C

Coefficient of thermal expansion \alpha= 10.5\times10^{-6}\ K^{-1}

We need to calculate the difference in the length of the bridge

Using formula of the difference in the length

\Delta L=L\alpha\Delta T

Where, \Delta T= temperature difference

\alpha=Coefficient of thermal expansion

L= length

Put the value into the formula

\Delta L=1000\times10.5\times10^{-6}(40^{\circ}-0^{\circ})

\Delta L=0.42\ m

Hence, The difference in the length of the bridge is 0.42 m.

Bingel [31]
The horizontal force is m*v²/Lh, where m is the total mass. The vertical force is the total weight (233 + 840)N. 

<span>Fx = [(233 + 840)/g]*v²/7.5 </span>

<span>v = 32.3*2*π*7.5/60 m/s = 25.37 m/s </span>

<span>The horizontal component of force from the cables is Th + Ti*sin40º and the vertical component of force from the cable is Ta*cos40º </span>

<span>Thh horizontal and vertical forces must balance each other. First the vertical components: </span>

<span>233 + 840 = Ti*cos40º </span>

<span>solve for Ti. (This is the answer to the part b) </span>

<span>Horizontally </span>

<span>[(233 + 840)/g]*v²/7.5 = Th + Ti*sin40º </span>

<span>Solve for Th </span>

<span>Th = [(233 + 840)/g]*v²/7.5 - Ti*sin40º </span>

<span>using v and Ti computed above.</span>

A wagon is accelerating down a hill. Which statement is true?
Ira Lisetskai [31]
Potential energy decreases and kinetic energy increases.

Potential energy is related to the height, since the wagon is going downhill, height decreases and potential energy decreases.

Kinetic energy is related to the speed, since the wagon is speeding up, kinetic energy increases.

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

<h2>Gravity :</h2><h3>the force that attracts a body towards the centre of the earth, or towards any other physical body having mass.</h3>

<h2>Solar day</h2><h3>A solar day is the time it takes for the Earth to rotate about its axis so that the Sun appears in the same position in the sky.</h3><h2> or</h2><h3>It is the time between successive meridian transits of the sun at a particular place.</h3>
