Lindsay is planning a flight from St. Catherines to Hamilton, which lies due west of St. Catharines.
Schach [20]

Lindsay should fly the plane in the direction [W 12.5° S] to get Hamilton.

Using Sine rule to solve this question

Sine rule => SinA/a = SinB/b = SinC/c = constant

The magnitude of wind is 50 with an angle of 60 degrees.

The magnitude of plane is 200 and the angle at which it should fly is unknown and should be θ.

One side is 50 km/hr at an angle of 60 degrees.

sin 60°/200 = sin θ / 50

50 × sin 60° = 200 × sin θ

√3/2 = 4 × sin θ

√3/8 = sin θ

sin θ = 0.2165

θ = sin⁻¹(0.2165)

θ = 12.5°

So Lindsay have to fly the plane in the direction of [W 12.5° S].

The terminal velocity of a person falling in air depends upon the weight and the area of the person facing the fluid. Find the t
Serga [27]

Answer:

115 m/s, 414 km/hr

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on a skydiver: gravity and air resistance (drag).  At terminal velocity, the two forces are equal and opposite.

∑F = ma

D − mg = 0

D = mg

Drag force is defined as:

D = ½ ρ v² C A

where ρ is the fluid density,

v is the velocity,

C is the drag coefficient,

and A is the cross sectional surface area.

Substituting and solving for v:

½ ρ v² C A = mg

v² = 2mg / (ρCA)

v = √(2mg / (ρCA))

We're given values for m and A, and we know the value of g.  We need to look up ρ and C.

Density of air depends on pressure and temperature (which vary with elevation), but we can estimate ρ ≈ 1.21 kg/m³.

For a skydiver falling headfirst, C ≈ 0.7.

Substituting all values:

v = √(2 × 80.0 kg × 9.8 m/s² / (1.21 kg/m³ × 0.7 × 0.140 m²))

v = 115 m/s

v = 115 m/s × (1 km / 1000 m) × (3600 s / hr)

v = 414 km/hr

What is the process of making acid rain? beginning from burning of fossil fuels...to gaseous products released..to nitrogen oxid
elena55 [62]
Acid rain<span> is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air. These substances can rise very high into the atmosphere, where they mix and react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form more acidic pollutants, known as </span>acid rain<span>.</span>

Vikentia [17]
For the answer to the question above,
we can get the number of fringes by dividing (delta t) by the period of the light (Which is λ/c). 

fringe = (delta t) / (λ/c) 

We can find (delta t) with the equation: 

delta t = [v^2(L1+L2)]/c^3 

Derivation of this formula can be found in your physics text book. From here we find (delta t): 

600,000^2 x (11+11) / [(3x10^8)^3] = 2.93x10^-13 

2.93x10^-13/ (589x10^-9 / 3x10^8) = 149 fringes 

This answer is correct but may seem large. That is because of your point of reference with the ether which is usually at rest with respect to the sun, making v = 3km/s.
