Answer:

Its resultant velocity will be 320 km/h.

Explanation:

The tail wind is called the wind that brings greater speed to an airplane, because it has the same direction as the airplane and, therefore, contributes a positive force to the force that the airplane's engines print on it.

Thus, a tailwind adds its speed to the speed of the plane, developing a resulting speed higher than that marked on the air transport speedometer.

In the case, given that the speed of the plane is 240 km / h and the tail wind is 80 km / h, the resulting speed will be 320 km / h.

The length of an aluminum wire is quadrupled and the radius is doubled. By which factor does the resistance change?

erik [133]

The resistance of a conductive wire is given by:
$R= \frac{\rho L}{A}$
where
$\rho$ is the material resistivity
$L$ is the wire length
$A$ is the cross-sectional area of the wire

The length of the wire is quadrupled, so if we call L the original length and L' the new length, we can write
$L'=4 L$

Similarly, the radius of the wire is doubled (r'=2r), so the new area is
$A'= \pi (r')^2 = \pi (2r)^2 = 4 \pi r^2 = 4A$

And if we substitute into the equation, we find that the new resistance of the wire is
$R'= \frac{\rho L'}{A'}= \frac{\rho (4L)}{4 A'} = \frac{\rho L}{A}=R$
Therefore, R=R': this means that the resistance of the wire did not change.

A boy weighing 445 N swings on a 2-m long swing. If his horizontal speed at the lowest point is 3 m/s, what total force must the

levacccp [35]

Explanation:

We need to calculate the centripetal force:

Fc = W + F

With Fc being the centripetal force, W the weight of the boy, F the centrifugal force (apparent).

We know that we can calculate the apparent centrifugal force thank to the formula:

F = (m·v²)/r = 204N

So we can write:

Fc = W + F = 445N + 204N = 649N
