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

The speed of the plane relative to the air (called the air speed) as measured by instruments aboard the plane is 310 km/hour . In which direction should the pilot head?

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.

A champion athlete can produce one horsepower (746 W) for a short period of time. The number of 16-cm-high steps a 70-kg athlete
Sav [1095]

Answer:

407 steps

Explanation:

Based on the question,

P = mgh/t........... Equation 1

Where P stands for power, m is mass, g denotes gravity, h is height, and t represents time.

Rearranging the equation to solve for h, we have:

h = Pt/mg............. Equation 2

Providing values: P = 746 W, t = 1 minute = 60 seconds, m = 70 kg.

Given constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

By substituting into equation 2

h = 746(60)/(70×9.8)

h = 44760/686

h = 65.25 m

h = 6525 cm

Calculating number of steps: 6525/16

The resulting number of steps = 407 steps

A careful photographic survey of Jupiter’s moon Io by the spacecraft Voyager 1 showed active volcanoes spewing liquid sulfur to
Sav [1095]

Answer:

529.15 m/s

Explanation:

h = Highest point = 70000 m

g = Gravitational acceleration = 2 m/s²

m = Sulfur's mass

Since both potential and kinetic energies are conserved

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gh}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 2\times 70000}\\\Rightarrow v=529.15\ m/s

The velocity at which the liquid sulfur exited the volcano is 529.15 m/s

A 25kg child sits on one end of a 2m see saw. How far from the pivot point should a rock of 50kg be placed on the other side of
Sav [1095]

Answer:

A rock weighing 50kg should be positioned at a distance of 0.5m from the pivot of the seesaw.

Explanation:

τchild=τrock  

We will utilize the formula for torque:

(F)child(d)child)=(F)rock(d)rock)

The gravitational force acts equally on both objects.

(m)childg(d)child)=(m)rockg(d)rock)

We can eliminate gravity from both sides of the equation for simplification.

 (m)child(d)child)=(m)rock(d)rock)  

Now employing the given masses for the rock and child. The seesaw's total length is 2 meters, with the child sitting at one end, placing them 1 meter from the center of the seesaw.

(25kg)(1m)=(50kg)drock

Solve for the distance where the rock should be positioned in relation to the seesaw's center.

drock=25kg⋅m50kg

drock=0.5m

a force of 6lbs acts on an object with a weight of 35 lbs on earth. determine the objects acceleration. final answer must be 5.5
kicyunya [1011]
Weight of the object = 35 lbs
F = ma
m = F/a = 35/32 (with acceleration of 32 ft/s²)
m= 1.09

Again applying the same formula,
a = F/m
a= 6/1.09
a= 5.489

Thus, the acceleration is approximately 5.5 ft/s²!!
