A mosquito can fly with a speed of 1.10 m/s with respect to the air. Suppose a mosquito flies east at this speed across a swamp.

The mosquito is flying into a breeze that has a velocity of 1.4 m/s with respect to Earth and moves in the direction of 35 west of south. What is the mosquito's speed with respect to the Earth?

Answer:

The velocity of Mosquito with respect to earth will be 0.302m/s

Explanation:

V(ma) = 1.10 m/s, east  Velocity of mosquito with respect to air

V(ae) = 1.4 m/s at 35°  Velocity of air with respect to Earth in west of south direction.

Velocity of Mosquito with respect to earth will be  

V(me) = V(ma) + V(ae)

We need to find the mosquito’s speed with respect to Earth in the x direction.

V(x, me) = V(x, ma) + V(x, ae) = V(ma) + V(ae)(cos theta(ae) )

Angle (ae) = –90.0° − 35°=−125°

V(x, me) = 1.10 + (1.4)Cos(-125)

             = 1.10 + 1.4(-0.57)

             = 1.10 -0.798

              = 0.302

So the velocity of Mosquito with respect to earth will be 0.302m/s

Using the graph predict how many paper clipsa 7.5 v battery would pick up for both the 25 coil electromagnet and the 50 coil ele
enyata [817]

The graph between the strength of the magnet(number of paper clips picked) and battery is approximately a straight line.

For 25 coil, with increase of 1.5 V battery voltage, the electromagnet picks about 5 more clips. So, for a 7.5 V battery, it would pick about 30 paper clips.

For 50 coil, with increase of 1.5 V battery voltage, the electromagnet picks about 15 more clips. So, for a 7.5 V battery, it would pick about 30 paper clips.
