A bee wants to fly to a flower located due North of the hive on a windy day. The wind blows from East to West at speed 6.68 m/s.

The airspeed of the bee (i.e., its speed relative to the air) is 8.33 m/s. In which direction should the bee head in order to fly directly to the flower, due North relative to the ground? Answer in units of ◦ East of North.

Answer:  53.31\° East of North

Explanation:

We have the following data:

Speed of the wind from East to West: 6.68 m/s

Speed of the bee relative to the air:  8.33 m/s

If we graph these speeds (which in fact are velocities because are vectors) in a vector diagram, we will have a right triangle in which the airspeed of the bee (its speed relative to te air) is the hypotense and the two sides of the triangle will be the <u>Speed of the wind from East to West</u> (in the horintal part) and the <u>speed due North relative to the ground</u> (in the vertical part).

Now, we need to find the direction the bee should fly directly to the flower (due North):

sin \theta=\frac{Windspeed-from-East-to-West}{Speed-bee-relative-to-air}

sin \theta=\frac{6.68 m/s}{8.33 m/s}

Clearing \theta:

\theta=sin^{-1} (\frac{6.68 m/s}{8.33 m/s})

\theta=53.31\°

Carts A and B are identical and are moving toward each other on a track. The speed of cart A is v, while the speed of cart B is
borishaifa [10]

Answer: k= \frac{5mv^{2} }{2}

Explanation:

Recall that the formula for kinetic energy is given below as

k = \frac{mv^{2} }{2}

where k=kinetic energy (joules), m= mass of object (kg), v= velocity of object m/s)

For cart A

m_{a} = mass of cart A

v_{a} = v = velocity of cart A

K.E_{a} = kinetic energy of cart A

hence, K.E_{a} = \frac{m_{a}v^{2}  }{2}

For cart B

m_{b} = mass of cart B

v_{b} = 2v = velocity of cart B

K.E_{b} = kinetic energy of cart B

hence, K.E_{b} = \frac{m_{b}(2v^{2}) }{2} = 2m_{b} v^{2}

from the question, both cart are identical which implies they have the same mass i.e m_{a} = m_{b} = m which implies that

K.E_{a}= \frac{mv^{2} }{2} and K.E_{b}  =2mv^{2}

The total kinetic energy K is the sum of cart A and cart B kinetic energy

K=K.E_{a} + K.E_{b}

K=\frac{mv^{2} }{2} + 2mv^{2}

hence

K=\frac{5mv^{2} }{2}

If Katie swims from one end of the pool, to the other side, and then swims back to her original spot, her average velocity is ha
Crank

Answer:

false.

Explanation:

Ok, we define average velocity as the sum of the initial and final velocity divided by two.

Remember that the velocity is a vector, so it has a direction.

Then when she goes from the 1st end to the other, the velocity is positive

When she goes back, the velocity is negative

if both cases the magnitude of the velocity, the speed, is the same, then the average velocity is:

AV = (V + (-V))/2  = 0

While the average speed is the quotient between the total distance traveled (twice the length of the pool) and the time it took to travel it.

So we already can see that the average velocity will not be equal to half of the average speed.

The statement is false

1) What is the highest atomic number element a red dwarf star can produce in its core? a. Carbon b. Oxygen c. Helium d. Iron
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

1) c. Helium

2) Iron

3) False.

Explanation:

1. Red dwarf is the smallest and the coolest star on the sequence. These are common stars in the milky way. Red dwarfs contains metals and the elements with higher atomic number. It is found that Helium is produced in red dwarf stars.

2. Iron is the highest atomic number element that is produced in cores of largest stars. The highest mass stars can make all elements up to iron, which is the heaviest element they can produce.

3. The end of stars life is dependent on the mass they are born with. It is not necessary that all red dwarf stars will become white dwarf stars faster than sun like star.
