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.

A 82-kg fisherman in a 112-kg boat throws a package of mass m = 15 kg horizontally toward the right with a speed of vi = 4.8 m/s
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

0.37 m/s to the left

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved.  Initial momentum = final momentum.

m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

Initially, both the fisherman/boat and the package are at rest.

0 = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

Plugging in values and solving:

0 = (82 kg + 112 kg) v + (15 kg) (4.8 m/s)

v = -0.37 m/s

The boat's velocity is 0.37 m/s to the left.

It's velocity changes, but its speed remains the same.<br> The<br> true or false
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Velocity is a vector quantity, which means that it carries both magnitude and direction. Hence when direction of a particle changes, although magnitude (speed) may remain same, it's velocity changes due to direction change. For ex. A particle is m... A particle is moving along x axis with speed 1m/s, it's velocity will be represented as 1i (i represents unit vector along x)

But if it now starts moving along y axis, it's velocity is 1j (j represents unit vector along y axis). Hence velocity changes with direction.

A penny rolls along the table for a distance of 1.3 meters. Jackie pushes it 40 centimeters further in the same direction.
brilliants [131]
40 meters times 1 meter over 100 centimeters equals 0.4 meters. 1.3 meters + 40 centimeters =. 1.3 m + 0.4 m = 1.7 m. The answer is 1.7 meters

A wave has a frequency of 875 hz and a wavelength of 352 m. At what speed is this wave traveling 
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

308,000 or 30.8×10^3

Explanation:

v=f×lamda

v is ?, f is 875Hz, lamda is 352m

v=875×352

v=308,000

v=30.8×10^3 m/s
