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

a satellite is traveling in a orbit around the earth. what change would cause it to experience more gravitational force from the
never [62]
The correct answer is:
<span>A. orbiting closer to the earths surface. 

In fact, the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the satellite is
</span>F=G \frac{Mm}{r^2}
<span>where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the Earth mass
m is the satellite mass
r is the distance of the satellite from the Earth's surface

We can see that, if the satellite orbits closer to the Earth's surface, its distance r from the centre of the planet decreases. But when r decreases, F (the gravitational force) increases, so A is the correct answer.</span>

Answer:

Dissociation- disconnection and lack of continuity between thoughts, memories, surroundings, actions, and identity.

Ionization- the process by which an atom or a molecule acquires a negative or positive charge by gaining or losing electrons, often in conjunction with other chemical changes.
