tourist travels 1500 miles using two planes. The second plane averages 50 miles per hour faster than the first plane. The touris

t uses the slower plane for the first 500 and the faster plane for the next 1000 miles. The total flying time is 6.5 hours. What is the speed of the first plane?

Answer:

V₁ = 200 mi/h

Explanation:

To do this, we need to analyze the given data.

We have a total distance and time of 1500 mi and 6.5 h. We also know that the second plane goes 50 mi/h faster than the first plane, (V₂ = V₁ + 50). The firsts 500 miles were on the first plane and the remaining 1000 mi with the second plane.

Using the expression of distance, and assuming a constant speed in both planes we have:

d = V * t   (1)

Replacing this expression for both planes we have:

d₁ = V₁ * t₁

d₂ = (V₁+50) * t₂

WE are missing several data, because we do not know the times for each plane, but we can have a clue.

The total time of flight was 6.5 h, this is equivalent to just sum both times of both planes, so:

t = t₁ + t₂   (3)

From the expressions of distance for both planes, we can solve for time, and then replace in the above expression of the total time. In that way we can solve for the speed of the plane. Let's solve for both times in the planes:

t₁ = d₁ / V₁ = 500/V₁    (4)

t₂ = d₂ / V₁+50 = 1000/ V₁ + 50   (5)

Now, all we have to do is replace (4) and (5) into (3) and solve for V₁:

6.5 = [(500/V₁) + (1000/V₁ + 50)

6.5 = [500*(V₁+50) + 1000V₁ / V₁(V₁+50)]

6.5 = [500V₁ + 25000 + 1000V₁ / V₁² + 50V₁

6.5(V₁² + 50V₁) = 1500V₁ + 25000

6.5V₁² + 325V₁ - 1500V₁ - 25000 = 0

6.5V₁² - 1175V₁ - 25000 = 0

From here, we use the quadratic equation to solve for V₁:

X = 1175 ± √(1175)² + 4 * 6.5 * 25000 / 2 * 6.5

X = 1175 ± √1380625 + 650000 / 13

X = 1175 ± 1425 / 13

X₁ = 1175 + 1425 / 13 = 200

X₂ = 1175 - 1425 / 13 = -19.23

So, it's very clear that the speed cannot be negative, so we stick with the first value. Therefore the speed pf the first plane is:

<h2>V₁ = 200 mi/h</h2><h2>V₂ = 250 mi/h</h2>

Hope this helps

Consider an electron confined in a region of nuclear dimensions (about 5 fm). Find its minimumpossible kinetic energy in MeV. Tr
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

39.40 MeV

Explanation:

<u>Determine the minimum possible Kinetic energy </u>

width of region = 5 fm

From Heisenberg's uncertainty relation below

ΔxΔp ≥ h/2 , where : 2Δx = 5fm ,  Δpc = hc/2Δx = 39.4 MeV

when we apply this values using the relativistic energy-momentum relation

E^2 = ( mc^2)^2 + ( pc )^2 = 39.4 MeV ( right answer ) because the energy grows quadratically in nonrelativistic approximation,

Also in a nuclear confinement ( E, P >> mc )

while The large value will portray a Non-relativistic limit  as calculated below

K = h^2 / 2ma^2 = 1.52 GeV

After washing lettuce, you can dry the water from it using a salad spinner. You put the lettuce in the bowl, and then crank the
guapka [62]

A. The force that causes the water on the lettuce to come off the lettuce and go to the walls of the bowl is centrifugal force.

<h3>What is centrifugal force?</h3>

Centrifugal force is an inertial force that appears to act on all objects when viewed in a rotating frame of reference.

This force is directed away from the center around which the body is moving.

<h3>What is centripetal force?</h3>

This is force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed towards the center around which the body is moving.

While centripetal force is directed towards to the center, the centrifugal force is directed away.

Thus, the force that causes the water on the lettuce to come off the lettuce and go to the walls of the bowl is centrifugal force.

PLEASE HELP
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

h = 1.8 m

Explanation:

The initial velocity of the glove, u =- 6 m/s

We need to find the maximum height of the glove. Let it is equal to h. Using equation of kinematics. At the maximum height v = 0

v^2-u^2=2ah, h is the maximum height and a = -g

0^2-(6)^2=2\times (-10)\times h\\\\h=\dfrac{36}{20}\\\\h=1.8\ m

Hence, it will go up to a height of 1.8 m.

Suppose an object is moving in a straight line at 50 miles/hr. According to Newton's first law of motion, the object will ______
Setler [38]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion states that a body will remain in its state of rest or if its in motion will continue to move in a straight line, unless its acted upon by an external force.The ability of an object to stay at rest or in motion if its in motion is known as inertia.

Hence the correct option is B.
