A plane is heading south with a velocity of 150 kilometers/hour. It experiences a tailwind with a velocity of 20 kilometers/hour

. Find the resultant velocity of the plane.

The tailwind speed would actually add up to the speed of the plane.

It would blow from behind the tail of the plane.

Resultant Velocity = 20 km/h + 150 km/h = 170 km/h

The resultant velocity of the plane is the sum of the velocities of the plane and the wind with the consideration of their directions. The plane heads south and the wind being a tailwind also heads south. Hence, we add their values. That is,
r = 150 km/hr + 20 km/hr
The answer is 170 km/hr.

The water flowing through a 2.0 cm (inside diameter) pipe flows out through three 1.3 cm pipes. (a) If the flow rates in the thr

Verdich [7]

Answer:

a)54L/min

b)0.845

Explanation:

a) A x V= $A_1V_1+ A_2V_2+A_3V_3$

where suffix 1,2,3 refers to the three pipes.

=27L/min+16L/min+11 L/min

=54L/min

b) A x V=54L/min => $\frac{\pi }{4} d^2$ x v

d= 2 cm

$\frac{\pi }{4} d^2$ x v = 54

v= $\frac{4}{\pi }$ x $\frac{54}{2^2}$

-> $A_1$ x $V_1$ =27L/min => $\frac{\pi }{4} d_1^2$ x $v_1$

$d_1$ = 1.3cm

$\frac{\pi }{4} d^2$ x $v_1$ = 27

$v_1$ = $\frac{4}{\pi }$ x $\frac{27}{1.3^2}$

Next is to find the ratio of speed i.e $\frac{v}{v_1}$

$\frac{4}{\pi }$ x $\frac{54}{2^2}$ / $\frac{4}{\pi }$ x $\frac{27}{1.3^2}$ => $\frac{54}{27}$ $\frac{1.3^2}{2^2}$

$\frac{v}{v_1}$ = 0.845

An automobile steering wheel is shown. What is the ideal mechanical advantage? If the AMA is 8, what is the efficiency of the st

Mars2501 [29]

1. Ideal Mechanical Advantage (IMA): 9

Explanation:

For a wheel and axle system like the steering wheel, the IMA is given by:

$IMA=\frac{r_w}{r_a}$

where

$r_w$ is the radius of the wheel

$r_a$ is the radius of the axle

For the steering wheel of the problem, we see that $r_w = 18 cm$ and $r_a=2 cm$ , so the IMA is

$IMA=\frac{18 cm}{2 cm}=9$

2. Efficiency: 88.9%

Explanation:

The efficiency of a system is defined as the ratio between the AMA (actual mechanical advantage) and the IMA:

$\eta=\frac{AMA}{IMA}\cdot 100$

In this problem, AMA=8 and IMA=9, so the efficiency is

$\eta=\frac{8}{9}\cdot 100=88.9\%$

pochemuha

Answer:

V = f λ speed of wave in terms of frequency and wavelength

t = S / V time for wave to travel a distance S

t = 91.4 m / 344.5 m/s = .265 sec time to travel 91.4 m

You move a 25 n object 4 meters. find the work you did

d1i1m1o1n [39]

In physics, "work<span>" is when a force applied to an object moves the object in the same direction as the force. If someone pushes against a wall, no </span>work<span> is done on the system. It is calculated as follows:

Work = Force x distance
Work = 25 N x 4 meters
Work = 100 N.m</span>
