Answer:

Relative to the ground, the velocity of the aircraft is 240 km/hr

Explanation:

Relative velocity is different from normal velocity;

When 2 objects are moving in opposite directions towards each other, they will appear to be faster than they actually are;

This is known as the relative velocity;

The information tells us we have the aircraft moving 320 km/hr northwards relative to the wind;

The wind is in the opposite direction at 80 km/hr;

R = relative velocity of the aircraft

v = actual velocity of the aircraft

w = velocity of the wind

R = v + w

Note: if the wind was moving in the same direction, the formula would be R = v - w

320 = v + 80

v = 320 - 80

v = 240

The velocity relative to the ground is simply the actual velocity as the ground doesn't move;

So, relative to the ground, the velocity of the aircraft is simply 240 km/hr

The beam is refracted at 53.17-degree angle (asin 0.800414 = 53.17-degree). This problem can be solved by using the Snell's Law which described the refracted beam angle which traveled through a different media, in this case, through water and air. The formula of Snell's Law is stated as n1 sin θ1= n2 sin θ2. In this formula n1 is the refraction index of medium 1, θ1 is the normal light angle in the medium 1, n2 is the refraction index of medium 2, and θ2 is the normal light angle in the medium 2<span>. </span>

A jeweler needs to electroplate gold onto a bracelet using an ionic solution. He knows that the charge carriers in the ionic sol
Studentka2010 [4]

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the total charge as follows.

      q_{total} = \frac{\text{weight of gold to be deposited}}{\text{atomic mass of gold}} \times N_{A} \times \text{charge on electron}

                    = \frac{0.2 g}{196.97 g/mol} \times 6.02 \times 10^{23} \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

                    = 97.80 C

Now, we will calculate the current required by the jeweler to plate the bracelet as follows.

                   i = \frac{q_{total}}{t_{total}}

                     = \frac{97.80 C}{3 \times 60 \times 60 sec}

                     = 9.05 \times 10^{-3} A

or,                  = 9.05 mA

thus, we can conclude that 9.05 mA current should he use to electroplate the bracelet in three hours.

A tennis player tosses a tennis ball straight up and then catches it after 1.77 s at the same height as the point of release. (a
Bogdan [553]

(a) 9.8 m/s^2, downward

There is only one force acting on the ball while it is in flight: the force of gravity, which is

F = mg

where

m is the mass of the ball

g is the gravitational acceleration

According to Newton's second law, the force acting on the ball is equal to the product between the mass of the ball and its acceleration, so

F = mg = ma

which means

a = g

So, the acceleration of the ball during the whole flight is equal to the acceleration of gravity:

g = -9.8 m/s^2

where the negative sign means the direction is downward.

(b) v = 0

Any object thrown upward reaches its maximum height when its velocity is zero:

v = 0

In fact, at that moment, the object's velocity is turning from upward to downward: that means that at that instant, the velocity must be zero.

(c) 8.72 m/s, upward

The initial velocity of the ball can be found by using the equation:

v = u + at

Where

v = 0 is the velocity at the maximum height

u is the initial velocity

a = g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration

t is the time at which the ball reaches the maximum height: this is half of the time it takes for the ball to reach again the starting point of the motion, so

t=\frac{1.77 s}{2}=0.89 s

So we can now solve the equation for u, and we find:

u=v-at=0-(-9.8 m/s^2)(0.89 s)=8.72 m/s

(d) 3.88 m

The maximum height reached by the ball can be found by using the equation:

v^2 - u^2 = 2ad

where

v = 0 is the velocity at the maximum height

u = 8.72 m/s is the initial velocity

a = g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration

d is the maximum height reached

Solving the equation for d, we find

d=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}=\frac{0^2-(8.72 m/s)^2}{2(-9.8 m/s^2)}=3.88 m

drek231 [11]

Answer:

0.1 A

Explanation:

From the question,

V = IR............ Equation 1

Where V = Voltage, I = current, R = Resistance.

Given: I = 0.2 A, R = 10 ohms.

Substitute into equation 1

V = 0.2(10)

V = 2 volt,

If the resistor is replaced with a 20 resistor, The nwe current is

I = V/R................ Equation 2

I = 2/20

I = 0.1 A
