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.

Which of the following objects is in static equilibrium?
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

b- a bicycle sitting on the ground

Explanation:

'Static' means it's not moving.

So, only the answer listed as "a bicycle sitting on the ground" corresponds to that condition.

All others possible answers describe something that is moving (an apple falling, a motorcycle accelerating, a car moving at a constant speed).  Even if they are going at a constant speed, they are moving, so not static.

How to find density of a gas.
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Subtract the mass of the cylinder from the mass of the cylinder when it contains gasoline. This is the mass of the gasoline. Divide this figure by the volume, 100 ml, to get the density.

A nearsighted person wants to see an apple that is 7 meters away but can only clearly see objects that are at most 62 cm away fr
natulia [17]

Answer:

The power of the corrective lenses is 3.162 D.

Explanation:

Given that,

Object distance = 70 cm

Image distance = 62 cm

Distance between eyes and glasses = 2.5 cm

Eyeglasses made of diverging corrective lenses can help her to see the apple clearly

So now ,

Object distance from glass =70-2.5 = 67.5 cm

Image distance from glass = 62-2.5 = 59.5 cm

We need to calculate the focal length

Using formula for focal length

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}+\dfrac{1}{u}

\dfrac{1}{f}=-\dfrac{1}{59.5}-\dfrac{1}{67.5}

\dfrac{1}{f}=-\dfrac{508}{16065}\ cm

We need to calculate the power of lens

Using formula of power

P=\dfrac{100}{f}

P=-\dfrac{508}{16065}\times100

P=-3.162 \ D

Negative sign shows the lens is diverging.

Hence, The power of the corrective lenses is 3.162 D.
