Answer:

The direction the plane would have to fly to compensate for a wind velocity of 62.0 km/h[N] is 4.5° S of W

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

Velocity of Jet = 792 km/h

Direction of jet velocity = West

Velocity of wind = 62.0 km/h

Direction of wind velocity = North

Therefore, the jet has to have a component of 62.0 km/h South of West to compensate for the wind velocity

The direction of the plane, θ° South of West (S of W) to compensate for the wind is given as follows;

Tan \left (\theta   \right )= \dfrac{62}{792} = \dfrac{31}{396}

Therefore;

\theta = tan^{-1}\left (\dfrac{31}{396}   \right ) = 4.476^{\circ} \approx 4.5^{\circ}

The direction the plane would have to fly to compensate for a wind velocity of 62.0 km/h[N] = 4.5° S of W.

A 14000N car traveling at 25m/s rounds a curve of radius 200m. Find the following: a. The centripetal acceleration of the car.
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Weight of car W=14,000\ N

mass of car m=\frac{14,000}{9.8}=1428.57\ N

velocity of car v=25\ m/s

radius r=200\ m

(a)Centripetal acceleration is given by

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}

a_c=\frac{25^2}{200}

a_c=3.125\ m

(b)Force that provide centripetal acceleration

F=F_c=\frac{mv^2}{r}

F=\frac{1428.57\times 25^2}{200}

F=4464.285\ N

(c)Friction force between car and tires is given by

=\mu N

where \mu=coefficient of static friction

N=normal reaction

Centripetal force will balance the friction force

F_c=F_r

4464.285=\mu \times 1428.57\times 9.8

\mu =0.318

An electric toaster is rated 1200 watts at 120 volts. what is the total electrical energy used to operate the toaster for 30 sec
Anarel [89]
Energy is calculated as power*time, so give the wattage of 1200 W (equivalent to 1200 Joules/second) and time of 30 seconds, multiplying these gives 36000 J or 36 kJ of electrical energy.

If electrical charge or current is needed: Power = voltage * current, so given the power of 1200 watts and voltage of 120 V, current is 1200 W / 120 V = 10 Amperes. Charge is calculated by multiplying 10 A*30 s = 300 C.

Two speakers, A and B, produce identical sound waves. A listener is 3.2 m away from speaker A. The listener finds the lowest fre
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

  0.83 m or 5.57 m

Explanation:

Destructive interference will occur when the distances from the speakers differ by 1/2 wavelength.

The length of 1 cycle of 72.4 Hz is ...

  λ = v/f = (343 m/s)/(72.4 Hz) ≈ 4.738 m

So, the distance of the listener from speaker B is ...

  3.2 m ± (4.738 m)/2 = {0.83 m, 5.57 m} . . . either of these distances

_____

The location could be at additional multiples of 4.738 m, but we think not. The sound intensity drops off with the square of the distance from the speaker, so identical sound waves from the speakers will sound quite different at different distances from the speakers. For best interference, the distances need to be as close to the same as possible. That will be at 3.2 m and 5.57 m.

_____

<em>Comment on the speed of sound</em>

We don't know what speed you are to use for the speed of sound. We have used 343 m/s. Some sources use 340 m/s, which will give a result different by 2 or 3 cm.
