Answer:

The solution is given below:

Explanation:

The computation of the speed is shown below

As we know that

Speed = distance ÷ time

where

distance is 2000 km

And, the time is 2.5 hours

SO, the speed is

= 2,000 ÷ 2.5

= 800 km/h

Now the distance would be the same i.e. 2,000 km

but the time is 2 hours

So, the speed is

= 2,000 km ÷ 2 hours

= 1,000 km/hr

The direction should be opposite to the first airplane

A pilot heads his jet due east. The jet has a speed of 475 mi/h relative to the air. The wind is blowing due north with a speed

oksian1 [2.3K]

Explanation:

a. The velocity of the wind as a vector in component form will be represented as v vector:

$v=30j$

b.The velocity of the jet relative to the air as a vector in component form will be represented as u vector

$u=475i$

c. The true velocity of the jet as a vector will be represented as w:

$w=u+v$

$w=475i+30j$

d. The true speed of the jet will be calculated as:

$IwI=\sqrt{(475)^2+(30)^2}$

$IwI=\sqrt{225625+900}$

$IwI=\sqrt{226525}$

$IwI=476 mi/h$

e. The direction of the jet will be:

$tita=tan^{-1}\frac{30}{475}$

$tita=tan^{-1}(0.0632)$

$tita=3.62degrees,or,N86.38degreesS$

Formed through longshore drift<br> a. sea stack<br> b. sandbar<br> c. spit<br> d. headland

ANTONII [103]

<h3>Answer;</h3>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<em><u>Long shore drift is the process that occurs when a sheet of water moves on and off the beach, in other words the swash and back swash</u></em>, thus capturing and transporting sediment on the beach back out to the sea.
<em><u>Sandbar</u></em> is normally formed when the sandspit stretches across a bay and connects the two sides. <em><u>Headland</u></em> is a high piece of land that extends out onto the sea. <em><u>Sea stacks </u></em>on the other hand results from the collapsing of the roof of the arch.

The part of the electromagnetic spectrum usually used for communication is

noname [10]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The part of the electromagnetic spectrum usually used for communication is of radio waves, infrared waves and microwaves.

But most common waves used in communication are radio waves.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Radio waves are used to transmit television and radio programmes.
While microwaves are used for mobile phones and Wi-Fi.
Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum longer than infrared light.
Radio waves have frequencies as high as 300 gigahertz (GHz) to as low as 30 hertz (Hz).
