A typical jet airliner has a cruise airspeed of 900 km/h , which is its speed relative to the air through which it is flying. If

the wind at the airliner’s cruise altitude is blowing at 100 km/h from west to east, what is the speed of the airliner relative to the ground if the airplane is flying from (a) west to east, and (b) east to west

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the jet airplane with respect to air, v_{PA} = 900\ km/h          

If the wind at the airliner’s cruise altitude is blowing at 100 km/h from west to east, v_{AG}= 100\ km/h

(A) Let v_{PG} is the speed of the airliner relative to the ground if the airplane is flying from west to east,

v_{PG}=900-100=800\ km/h

(B) Let v'_{PG} is the speed of the airliner relative to the ground if the airplane is flying from east to west,

v'_{PG}=900+100=1000\ km/h

Hence, this is the required solution.

You drag a suitcase of mass 8.2 kg with a force of f at an angle 41.9 ◦ with respect to the horizontal along a surface with kine
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

35.6 N

Explanation:

We can consider only the forces acting along the horizontal direction to solve the problem.

There are two forces acting along the horizontal direction:

- The horizontal component of the pushing force, which is given by

F_x = F cos \theta

with \theta=41.9^{\circ}

- The frictional force, whose magnitude is

F_f = \mu mg

where \mu=0.33, m=8.2 kg and g=9.8 m/s^2.

The two forces have opposite directions (because the frictional force is always opposite to the motion), and their resultant must be zero, because the suitcase is moving with constant velocity (which means acceleration equals zero, so according to Newton's second law: F=ma, the net force is zero). So we can write:

F_x - F_f=0\\F_x = F_f\\F cos \theta = \mu mg\\F=\frac{\mu mg}{cos \theta}=\frac{(0.33)(8.2 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)}{cos(41.9^{\circ})}=35.6 N

Why do ions stick together?
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

The ions stick together because of the electrostatic attraction between ions that are near one another.Electrostatic attraction refers to the electrostatic force of long-range interaction occurring between the attractive electrostatic adsorption in aqueous solution with differently charged particles or uncharged particles.

Hope this helps!! ;)

The earth’s orbit around the sun is elliptical. What does this word mean?.
omeli [17]

Answer:

An elliptical orbit is the revolving of one object around another in an oval-shaped path called an ellipse. The planets in the solar system orbit the sun in elliptical orbits. Many satellites orbit the Earth in elliptical orbits as does the moon.

If a block of wood dropped from a tall building has attained a velocity of 78.4 m/s how long has it been falling
ryzh [129]

Gravity adds 9.8 m/s to the speed of a falling object every second.

An object dropped from 'rest' (v = 0) reaches the speed of 78.4 m/s after  falling for (78.4 / 9.8) = <em>8.0 seconds</em> .

<u>Note:</u>

In order to test this, you'd have to drop the object from a really high cell- tower, building, or helicopter.  After falling for 8 seconds and reaching a speed of 78.4 m/s, it has fallen 313.6 meters (1,029 feet) straight down.

The flat roof of the Aon Center . . . the 3rd highest building in Chicago, where I used to work when it was the Amoco Corporation Building . . . is 1,076 feet above the street.
