Gravitational energy is a form of potential energy because it is dependent on the mass of an object and needs to be calculated for the specific object.

A jet airliner moving initially at 406 mph (with respect to the ground) to the east moves into a region where the wind is blowin
astraxan [27]

Answer:

966 mph

Explanation:

Using as convention:

- East --> positive x-direction

- North --> Positive y-direction

The x- and y- components of the initial velocity of the jet can be written as

v_{1x} = 406 mph\\v_{1y} = 0

While the components of the velocity of the wind are

v_{2x} = (568)(cos 15^{\circ})=548.6 mph\\v_{2y} = (568)(sin 15^{\circ})=147.0 mph

So the components of the resultant velocity of the jet are

v_x = v_{1x}+v_{2x}=406+548.6=954.6 mph\\v_y = v_{1y}+v_{2y}=0+147.0=147.0 mph

And the new speed is the magnitude of the resultant velocity:

v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{(954.6)^2+(147.0)^2}=965.8 mph \sim 966 mph

If the radio waves transmitted by a radio station have a frequency of 76.5 mhz, what is the wavelength of the waves, in meters?
____ [38]
Given: Velocity of light    c = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s

Frequency f = 7.65 x 10⁷/s

Required: Wavelength λ = ?

Formula:  λ = c/f

λ = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s/7.65 x 10⁷/s

λ = 3.92 m

Friends Burt and Ernie stand at opposite ends of a uniform log that is floating in a lake. The log is 3.0 m long and has mass 20
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The distance the log has moved by the time Ernie reaches Bur is 1.33 m.

Explanation:

give information:

The log is 3.0 m long and has mass 20.0 kg.

Burt has mass 30.0 kg; Ernie has mass 40.0 kg

Ernie has mass 40.0 kg.

to find the distance, first, we have to calculate the center of mass

X = ∑ m x /∑m

   = (20 x (3/2)) + (30 x 0) + (40 x 3)/ (20+30+40)

   = 150/90

   = 5/3

when Ernie walk, the center of the mass is

X = (70 x 0) + (20 x (3/2))/(70 + 20)

  = 30/90

  = 1/3

the distance of log moved = 5/3 - 4/3 = 1.33 m
