consider the west direction as positive direction of motion

V' = velocity of airplane relative to observer on ground = 580 mph

v = velocity of wind relative to observer on ground

V = average speed of airplane with no wind = 600 mph

relative velocity is given as

V' = V + v

inserting the values

580 = 600 + v

v = 580 - 600

v = - 20 mph

the negative sign indicates the direction of wind is opposite to direction of airplane , east

hence speed of wind is 20 mph in east direction.

Velocity of airplane without any wind

v_1 = 600 mph

now when air is blowing with some speed then the net speed is observed by the observer

v_{net} = 580 mph

now we will have

v_{net} = v_1 - v_w

wind speed here is given as v_w

now here we will have

580 = 600 - v_w

v_w = 20 mph

so wind speed will have 20 mph

If the temperature of a gas is increased by 10x, what will happen to the volume?
xxMikexx [17]

The volume of a gas will increase by ten times if the temperature is increased by ten times.

<h3>Relationship between the volume of a gas and temperature</h3>

The relationship between the volume of a gas and its temperature is explained in Charles' law of gases which states that:

  • The volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to its temperature provided the pressure of the gas is kept constant.

This means that if the temperature of a gas is increased by any given factor, the volume increases by the same factor proportionally.

Therefore, if the volume of a gas will increase by ten times if the temperature is increased by ten times.

a. Find the magnitude of the gravitational force (in N) between a planet with mass 6.50 ✕ 1024 kg and its moon, with mass 2.45 ✕
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

a. 1.70\times 10^{20} N b. 6.94\times 10^{-3}m/s^2 c. 2.62\times 10^{-5} m/s^2

Explanation:

Use Gravitational Force:

F= G\frac{Mm}{r^2}

Use values given to have the results.

b.

g=\frac{F}{m}

Use m as the mass of the Moon. Using values of a. and m you have the answer.

c.

g = \frac{F}{M}

Use M mass of the planet. Use value of a and Mass of Planet.

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Resistance is the property of a conductor, which determines the quantity of current that passes through it when a potential difference is applied across it. A resistor is a electrical componet with a predetermined electrical resistance, like 1 ohm, 10 ohms 100 ohms 10000 ohms etc.
