If an airplane were traveling westward with a thrust force of 450 N and there was a headwind (drag) of 200 N, what would the resulting net force be on the airplane?

Copper has free electrons per cubic meter. a 71.0-cm length of 12-gauge copper wire that is 2.05 mm in diameter carries 4.85 a of current. (a) how much time does it take for an electron to travel the length of the wire? (b) repeat part (a) for 6-gauge copper wire (diameter 4.12 mm) of the same length that carries the same current. (c) generally speaking, how does changing the diameter of a wire that carries a given amount of current affect the drift velocity of the electrons in the wire?

Arocket starts from rest and moves upward from the surface of the earth. for the first 10.0 s of its motion, the vertical acceleration of the rocket is given by ay = 12.80 m/s32t, where the +y-direction is upward. (a) what is the height of the rocket above the surface of the earth at t = 10.0 s? b) what is the speed of the rocket when it is 325 m above the surface of the earth?

Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps but also due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. to get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length of a column of water 1.00 km high for a temperature increase of 1.00ºc. note that this calculation is only approximate because ocean warming is not uniform with depth. (answer in ×10^{-3} −3 m)
