A plane has an average air speed (this is the speed the plane moves through air) of 750 mph. The plane flies a route of 5000 mil

es from Los Angeles to London. The average speed of the wind along this route is 30 mph blowing east from Los Angeles towards London. How much longer does it take the plane to fly from London to Los Angeles than the reverse direction?

Answer:

6 hours 15 minutes

Explanation:

On the trip from L.A. to London, the plane travels at 750 mph against a headwind of 50 mph, and that makes the net 700 mph (in aviation speak, 750 is the airspeed, while 700 is the groundspeed).  5000 miles divided by 700 mph results in about 7.14 hours, or about 7 hours and 9 minutes.  On the return trip, ASSUMING THE SAME WIND, the plane travels at 750 mph, but this time the wind of 50 mph is a tail wind.  So the net (groundspeed) is 800 mph.  Traveling 5000 miles at 800 mph only takes 6.25 hours, or 6 hours and 15 minutes.  

Outbound flight 7 hours 9 minutes

Return flight 6 hours 15 minutes

storchak [24]

Answer: machine's efficiency = 82.2%

Explanation:

Efficiency of a machine is the capability of a machine to convert input to output without waste.

It can be expressed as

Efficiency = output/ input × 100%

Output = 7,023N

Imput = 8,542N

Efficiency = 7,023N/8,542N × 100%

Efficiency = 82.2%

Two oppositely charged but otherwise identical conducting plates of area 2.50 square centimeters are separated by a dielectric 1
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

A). σ = 3.823 x 10^{-5} C^{2}/N-m^{2}

B). \sigma ^{'}=2.76\times 10^{-5} C/m^{2}

C). U=10.322 J

Explanation:

A). We know magnitude of charge per unit area for a conducting plate is given by

\sigma =k.\varepsilon _{0}.E

where, E is resultant electric field = 1.2 x 10^{6} V/m

           \varepsilon _{0} is permittivity of free space = 8.85 x 10^{-12} C^{2}/N-m^{2}

           k is dielectric constant = 3.6

∴\sigma =k.\varepsilon _{0}.E

                     = 3.6 x 8.85 x10^{-12} x 1.2 x 10^{6}

                    = 3.823 x 10^{-5} C^{2}/N-m^{2}

B).Now we know that the magnitude of charge per unit area on the surface of the dielectric plate is given by

\sigma ^{'}=\sigma\left ( 1-\frac{1}{k} \right )

\sigma ^{'}=3.823\times 10^{-5}\left ( 1-\frac{1}{3.6} \right )

\sigma ^{'}=2.76\times 10^{-5} C/m^{2}

C).

Area of the plate, A = 2.5 cm^{2}

                                 = 2.5 x 10^{-4}m^{2}

diameter of the plate, d = 1.8 mm

                                        = 1800 m

∴ Total energy stored in the capacitor

U=\frac{1}{2}k\varepsilon _{0}E^{2}Ad

U=\frac{1}{2}\times 3.6\times8.85 \times10^{-12}\times\left ( 1.2\times 10^{6} \right ) ^{2}\times 2.5\times 10^{-4}\times 1800

U=10.322 J

A student heats a liquid on a burner. What happens to the portion of liquid that first begins to warm? What all applys
jeyben [28]
For water, as the temperature goes up the density of the liquid water decreases therefore it becomes less dense so it tends to rise upward. And since the temperature here is higher, heat flows from the higher temperature to the lower so it releases energy to the environment. Therefore, the correct statements are 2, 3 and 5.

The short vertical parts adjacent to it also reach into the magnetic field and should experience forces. why can we neglect them
hammer [34]

It is not only the horizontal part of the loop that dips into the magnetic field. We can neglect or disregard the horizontal parts of the loop that hollows into the magnetic fields since only the parts perpendicular to the magnetic field complement to it.
