Answer:

a) 3.18 degree.

Explanation:

tan Ф =  v sinα /( u + v cos α )

v is velocity of the air , u is velocity of pilot , α is angle between u and v and Ф is drift angle of the pilot

tan Ф = 18 sin ( 290 - 224) / 300 + 18 cos ( 290 - 224 )

           = 18 sin 66 / ( 300 + 18 cos 66)

             = 18 x .91 / (300 + 18 x .40)

               = 16.38 / 305.4 = .0536

       Ф = 3 .18 degree.

If the temperature of water warming on a hot plate rises 10 degrees Celsius [°C], what is the change in temperature in units of
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Delta_temp = 18[°F]

Explanation:

°F = 9/5*(10)

°F = 18

Note: It is important to clarify that it is only a temperature increase, that it is only a temperature increase. The question is not related to converting from 10°C to fahrenheit degrees

A 1300 kg car moving at 20 m/s and a 900 kg car moving at 15 m/s in precisely oppositedirections participate in a head-on crash.
miskamm [114]

Given

Car 1

m1 = 1300 kg

v1 = 20 m/s

m2 = 900 kg

v2 = -15 m/s

(Negative sign shows that direction of car 2 is opposite to car 1)

Procedure

As per the conservation of linear momentum, "The total momentum of the system before the collision must be equal to the total momentum after the collision". And this applies to the perfectly inelastic collision as well. Then the expression is,

\begin{gathered} m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v \\ v=\frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2} \\ v=\frac{1300\operatorname{kg}\cdot20m/s-900\operatorname{kg}\cdot15m/s}{1300\operatorname{kg}+900\operatorname{kg}} \\ v=5.681m/s \end{gathered}

Thus, we can conclude that the speed and direction of the cars after the impact is 5.68 m/s towards the first car.
