(Use the Pythagorean theorem to answer the question.) An airplane takes off going straight west at 340 km/h for 1 hour, then tur

ns and heads south for another hour at 360 km/h before reaching its final destination. What is the airplane's displacement?

South is perpendicular to West, so the plane's route forms a right triangle, and you can use Good Old Pythagoras to calculate the length of the hypotenuse.

The length of the displacement is   √(the west piece² + the south piece²)   .

That's      √ [ (340km)² + (360km)² ]

           =  √ [ (115,600) km²  +  (129,600) km² ]

           =   √ 245,200 km²

           =     495 km 

To be technical, Displacement is a vector, so we would need to
calculate its direction too.

Naturally, the plane winds up roughly southwest of where it took off.

You'd want to find the angle whose tangent is  (360/340) = about 1.059 .
The direction of the Displacement is that angle south of west. (about 46.6 degrees)

What does it mean for water to have a high heat capacity
Aliun [14]

Answer:

Its heat capacity is higher than that of any other liquid or solid, its specific heat being 1 cal / g, this means that to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1 ° C it is necessary to provide an amount of heat equal to a calorie . Therefore, the heat capacity of 1 g of water is equal to 1 cal / K.

Explanation:

The water has a very high heat capacity, a large amount of heat is necessary to raise its temperature 1.0 ° K. For biological systems this is very important because the cellular temperature is modified very little in response to metabolism. In the same way, aquatic organisms, if water did not possess that quality, would be very affected or would not exist.

This means that a body of water can absorb or release large amounts of heat, with little temperature change, which has a great influence on the weather (large bodies of water in the oceans take longer to heat and cool than the ground land). Its latent heats of vaporization and fusion (540 and 80 cal / g, respectively) are also exceptionally high.

Why is Jupiter's rotation dangerous for human survivability?
krok68 [10]

Answer:

1. Why is Jupiter's rotation dangerous for human survivability?

<h2>=> </h2>

<em><u>Jupiter is the fastest rotating planet in our solar system. One day lasts about 9.5 Earth hours. This creates powerful winds that can whip around the planet at more than 300 mph. About 75 miles below the clouds, you reach the limit of human exploration.</u></em>

2 .Why is Jupiter's planet axis tilt an issue for human survivability?

<h2>=></h2>

<em><u>Jupiter, like Venus, has an axial tilt of only 3 degrees, so there is literally no difference between the seasons. ... The length of each season is roughly three years. Jupiter is the fastest spinning planet in our Solar System, which causes the planet to flatten at the poles and bulge at the </u></em><em><u>equator.</u></em>

3.Why is the diameter of Jupiter an issue for human survivability?

<h2>=></h2>

<em><u>Since </u></em><em><u>,</u></em><em><u>The </u></em><em><u>Jupiter </u></em><em><u>is </u></em><em><u>so </u></em><em><u>huge </u></em><em><u>in </u></em><em><u>mass</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>,</u></em><em><u>The </u></em><em><u>central</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>force</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>toward</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>the </u></em><em><u>centre </u></em><em><u>will </u></em><em><u>be </u></em><em><u>high</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>and</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>we'll</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>be </u></em><em><u>forced</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>toward</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>it </u></em><em><u>causing</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>Several</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>problems</u></em><em><u>.</u></em>

If a magnet could swing freely, what would happen to its north-seeking pole?
maksim [4K]

You clearly identified the pole you're talking about as the
"north-seeking" pole.  Assuming your integrity and sincerity,
we would then naturally expect that pole to seek north, and
point to Earth's north magnetic pole. 

I'm confident in this answer also because I have several of
these devices hanging from the ceiling of my office, and I can
attest to the fact that on most clear days, they do in fact point
toward Earth's north magnetic pole.

Brain surgery. Surgeons can remove brain tumors by using a cavitron ultrasonic surgical aspirator, which produces sound waves of
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:\lambda =1.304\times 10^4\ m

Explanation:

Given

frequency of wave \nu =23\ kHz

We know velocity is given by

v=\nu \times \lambda

where \lambda=wavelength

\lambda =\frac{velocity}{\nu }

\lambda =\frac{3\times 10^8}{23\times 10^3}

\lambda =1.304\times 10^4\ m
