3. An airplane is heading north with an airspeed of 325 m/s with a wind from the east at 55.0 m/s. What is the airplane's veloci

ty relative to the ground? Is the airplane's ground speed faster or slowerthan its air speed? Why?​

Let <em>a</em> denote the airplane's velocity in the air, <em>g</em> its velocity on the ground, and <em>w</em> the velocity of the wind. (Note that these are vectors.) Then

<em>a</em> = <em>g</em> + <em>w</em>

and we're given

<em>a</em> = (325 m/s) <em>j</em>

<em>w</em> = (55.0 m/s) <em>i</em>

Then

<em>g</em> = - (55.0 m/s) <em>i</em> + (325 m/s) <em>j</em>

The ground speed is the magnitude of this vector:

||<em>g</em>|| = √[ (-55.0 m/s)² + (325 m/s)² ] ≈ 330. m/s

which is faster than the air speed, which is ||<em>a</em>|| = 325 m/s.

Alexxx [7]

Answer: vf1/vf2= 1/ sqrt(2)

Explanation :on the moon no drag force so we have only the  force of gravity. aceleration is g(moon)= 1.62m/s2.the rest is basic kinematics

if the rock travels H to the bottom we can calculate velocity:

vo=0m/s (drops the rock)  , yo=0

vf*vf= vo*vo+2g(y-yo)

when the rock is halfway  y = H/2 so:

vf1*vf1=2*g*H/2 so vf1 = sqrt(gH)

when the rock reach the bottom y=H so:

vf2*vf2=2*g*H so vf2 = sqrt(2gH)

so vf1/vf2= 1/ sqrt(2)

good luck from colombia

A 49-year-old female was referred for mammography, but she is very apprehensive after reading about the risk of ionizing radiati
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Mammography is the process in which low energy radiations are used to diagnose and screening. The purpose of this process is the early detection of the breast cancer. These low energy radiations may have some risks like damaging and burning of cells.  

In the current scenario, woman is apprehensive because she has read about the risks of using ionizing radiations. The radiographer should tell her the benefits of the mammography will outweigh its potential consequences. Screening, for instance, will let her know if she is suffering from breast cancer. Cancer is very dangerous disease as compare to very small burning.

In this way radiographer should handle the situation.

22. State any three features of the electroscope.​
MatroZZZ [7]
-1- was created in the 1600 by william gilbert
-2-When the charge is positive, electrons in the metal of the electroscope are attracted to the charge and move upward out of the leaves. This results in the leaves to have a temporary positive charge and because like charges repel, the leaves separate. When the charge is removed, the electrons return to their original positions and the leaves relax
3-

An electroscope is made up of a metal detector knob on top which is connected to a pair of metal leaves hanging from the bottom of the connecting rod. When no charge is present the metals leaves hang loosely downward. But, when an object with a charge is brought near an electroscope, one of the two things can happen.
