An airplane pilot wishes to fly directly westward. According to the weather bureau, a wind of 75.0 km/hour is blowing southward.
Softa [3030]

Answer:

The plane's speed in relation to the ground is 300.79 km/h.

Explanation:

Provided details include:

Wind speed = 75.0 km/hr

Plane's airspeed = 310 km/hr

Next, we must find the ground speed of the plane

Calculating the angle

Using the angle formula

\sin\theta=\dfrac{v'}{v}

Where v' represents the wind speed

v represents the plane's speed

We will substitute the values into the formula

\sin\theta=\dfrac{75}{310}

\theta=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{75}{310})

\theta=14.0^{\circ}

Now, we must find the resultant speed

Using the resultant speed formula

\cos\theta=\dfrac{v''}{v}

Insert the values into the formula

\cos14=\dfrac{v''}{310}

v''=\cos14\times310

v''=300.79\ km/h

Consequently, the plane's speed in relation to the ground equals 300.79 km/h.

The drawing shows three particles far away from any other objects and located on a straight line. The masses of these particles
Sav [3153]
The masses of particle A, B, and C are given, with all three particles aligned linearly. The distances between them are noted. The gravitational forces are attractive, compounding when acting in the same direction. The effects on each particle are formulated based on their distances.

A system expands from a volume of 1.00 l to 2.00 l against a constant external pressure of 1.00 atm. what is the work (w) done b
Keith_Richards [3271]
The amount of work performed by a system at consistent pressure is defined by the following equation:
W=p \Delta V = p (V_f - V_i)
where
p represents pressure
V_f as the final volume
V_i as the initial volume

Plugging the values given in this case into the formula gives us
W=p (V_f -V_i)=(1.00 atm)(2.00 L-1.00 L)=1.00 L\cdot atm

Considering that 1 atm \cdot L = 101.3 J, the result for the work done becomes
W= 1.00 atm \cdot L = 101.3 J

Oceanographers use submerged sonar systems, towed by a cable from a ship, to map the ocean floor. In addition to their downward
Yuliya22 [3333]
The tension exerted in the cable amounts to T = 16653.32 N. Parameters: Cross section area A = 1.3 m² Drag coefficient CD = 1.2 Velocity V = 4.3 m/s The angle formed by the cable with the horizontal is 30 degrees. Density defined as follows: The drag force FD is determined by the equation: FD = (1/2) * ρ * V² * A * CD Calculating the drag force yields 14422.2 N acting opposite to motion. Given the cable's angle of 30 degrees with horizontal, the horizontal component contributes to the drag force calculation: T * cos(30) = F_D Thus, T = 16653.32 N.

Two electrodes, separated by a distance d, in a vacuum are maintained at a constant potential difference. An electron, accelerat
Yuliya22 [3333]

Answer:

Explanation:

The distance between the electrodes is denoted as d.

The kinetic energy of the electron is represented as Ek when the electrodes are positioned at a distance of "d" apart.

Our goal is to determine the kinetic energy when they are separated by a distance of d/3.

K.E = ½mv²

It’s important to note that the mass remains constant; only velocity varies.

Additionally,

K.E = Work done by the electron

K.E = F × d

K.E = W = ma × d

Assuming constant acceleration

Hence, m and a are fixed,

therefore,

K.E is directly related to d

Thus, as d increases, K.E increases, and conversely, when d decreases, K.E decreases.

Consequently,

K.E_1 / d_1 = K.E_2 / d_2

With K.E_1 equating to E_k

and d_1 being d

while d_2 is represented as d/3

This leads to K.E_2 = K.E_1 / d_1 × d_2

Thus, K.E_2 = E_k × ⅓d / d

Finally,

K.E_2 = ⅓E_k

Therefore, the resultant kinetic energy is one third of the original E_k
