An airplane flies with a velocity of 55.0 m/s [35o N of W] with respect to the air (this is known as air speed). If the velocity

of the airplane according to an observer on the ground is 40.0 m/s [53o N of W], what was the wind velocity?

V - the wind velocity;
53° - 35° = 18°
v² = 55² + 40² - 2 · 55 · 40 · cos 18°
v² = 3025 + 1600 - 2 · 55 · 40 · 0.951
v² = 440.6
v = √440.6
v = 20.99 ≈ 21 m/s
Answer: The wind velocity is 21 m/s.

What is strain?
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

C) The ratio of the change in an object's length to its original length when stretched or compressed.

Explanation:

The formula for strain is:

Strain = Change in Length/Origin Length

Hence, it can be described as the percentile of change in the dimension with respect to the original dimension. So, whenever a tensile or a compressive force is applied on a body, its length changes. The ratio of this change to original length is called strain. So, the correct option is:

C) <u>The ratio of the change in an object's length to its original length when stretched or compressed.</u>

The membrane that surrounds a certain type of living cell has a surface area of 5.3 x 10-9 m2 and a thickness of 1.1 x 10-8 m. A
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

2.1\times 10^{-12} c

Explanation:

We are given that

Surface area of membrane=5.3\times 10^{-9} m^2

Thickness of membrane=1.1\times 10^{-8} m

Assume that membrane behave like a parallel plate capacitor.

Dielectric constant=5.9

Potential difference between surfaces=85.9 mV

We have to find the charge resides on the outer surface of membrane.

Capacitance between parallel plate capacitor is given by

C=\frac{k\epsilon_0 A}{d}

Substitute the values then we get

Capacitance between parallel plate capacitor=\frac{5.9\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 5.3\times 10^{-9}}{1.1\times 10^{-8}}

C=0.25\times 10^{-12}F

V=85.9 mV=85.9\times 10^{-3}

Q=CV

Q=0.25\times 10^{-12}\times 85.9\times 10^{3}=2.1\times 10^{-12} c

Hence, the charge resides on the outer surface=2.1\times 10^{-12} c
