An airplane cruises at 850 km/h relative to the air. It is flying from Denver, Colorado, due west to Reno, Nevada, a distance of

1200 km, and will then return. There is a steady 90km/h wind blowing to the east.

Answer:

difference in flight time= 0.3023 hour

Explanation:

The question is incomplete, but I found it in your textbook.

Spped of aircraft = 850 km/h

Opposing speed of wind = 90km/h

Hence, the net speed when it's travelling west = 850 - 90 = 760 km/hr

The distance covered = 1200km

time taken = distance/ time = 1200/ 760 = 1.5789 hours

When coming back, the speed of the wind is complementary to the speed of the aircraft so

net speed when it's coming back = 850 +90 = 940 km/hr

time taken in this instance = 1200/ 940 = 1.2765 hours

Hence, the difference in flight time= 1.5789 - 1.2765 = 0.3023 hour

A puck rests on a horizontal frictionless plane. A string is wound around the puck and pulled on with constant force. What fract
Ivan

Answer:

Explanation:

Let v be the linear velocity ,  ω be the angular velocity  and I be the moment of inertia of the the puck.

Kinetic energy ( linear ) = 1/2 mv²

Rotational kinetic energy = 1/2 I ω²

I = 1/2 m r² ( m and r be the mass and radius of the puck )

Rotational kinetic energy = 1/2 x1/2 m r² ω²

= 1/4 m v² ( v = r ω )

Total energy

= Kinetic energy ( linear ) + Rotational kinetic energy

= 1/2 mv² +  1/4 m v²

= 3/4 mv²

rotational K E / Total K E = 1/4 m v² / 3/4 mv²

= 1 /3

So  1 /3  rd of total energy is rotational K E.

Ans: Beat Frequency = 1.97Hz

Explanation:
The fundamental frequency on a vibrating string is 

f =   \sqrt{ \frac{T}{4mL} }<span>  -- (A)</span>

<span>here, T=Tension in the string=56.7N,
L=Length of the string=0.66m,
m= mass = 8.3x10^-4kg/m * 0.66m = 5.48x10^-4kg </span>


Plug in the values in Equation (A)

<span>so </span>f = \sqrt{ \frac{56.7}{4*5.48*10^{-4}*0.66} }<span> = 197.97Hz </span>

<span>the beat frequency is the difference between these two frequencies, therefore:
Beat frequency = 197.97 - 196.0 = 1.97Hz

Which of the following statements best describes the characteristic of the restoring force in the spring-mass system described i
Grace [21]

Answer : The restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement of the block.

Explanation :

Restoring force is defined as the force that is exerted by the spring due to its mass.

Mathematically, the restoring force can be written as :

F\propto-x

F = - k x

where,

k is the spring constant.

x is the displacement caused due to the mass.

Negative sign shows that the force is acting in opposite direction.

So, it is clear that the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement of the block.

Hence, the correct option is (b) " The restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement of the block ".

The speed v of a sound wave traveling in a medium that has bulk modulus b and mass density ρ (mass divided by the volume) is v=b
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

As it is given that Bulk modulus  and density related to velocity of sound

v = \sqrt{\frac{B}{\rho}}

by rearranging the equation we can say

B = \rho * v^2

now we need to find the SI unit of Bulk modulus here

we can find it by plug in the units of density and speed here

B = \frac{kg}{m^3} * (\frac{m}{s})^2

so SI unit will be

B = \frac{kg}{m* s^2}

SO above is the SI unit of bulk Modulus

Two resistors ( 3 ohms &amp; 6 ohms) in a series circuit with a power supply = 12 volts. The current through resistor 6 ohms is
Scorpion4ik [409]

In a series circuit . . .

-- The total resistance is the sum of the individual resistors.

-- The current is the same at every point in the circuit.

The total resistance in this circuit is (3Ω + 6Ω )  =  9Ω

The current at every point is (V/R) = (12v / 9Ω ) = <em>1.33 A</em> .

Pick choice<em> (a)</em>.
