A plane has a cruising speed of 100 miles per hour when there is no wind. At this speed, the plane flew 600 miles with the wind

in the same amount of time it flew 400 miles against the wind. find the speed of the wind

The solution for this problem is:
Let x = speed of wind

Speed of plane with the wind = x + 100

Speed of plane against the wind = 100 -x 

 We will be using the formula for distance which is (Rate)(Time), getting the formula for time would be distance/rate Time to travel 600 miles with the wind = Time to travel 400 miles against the wind 600/(x + 100) = 400/(100 - x)

 400(x + 100) = 600(100 - x)

 400x + 40000 = 60000 - 600x

 1000x = 20000

x = 20000/1000

 x = 20 mph

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

We are given:

V(i) = 0.3 L                          V(f) = 0.36 L

P(i) = x pa                            P(f) = 400 pa

T(i) = T(f) = 293 k

Using the gas formula:

PV = nRT

Since n , R and T are constant,

PV = k  (where k is a constant)

Hence we can say that:

P(i) * V(i) = P(f) * V(f)

x * 0.3 = 0.36 * 400

x = 14.4/0.3

x = 480 pascals

Hence the initial pressure is 480 pascals

Converting to Kpa, we have to divide by 1000

Initial pressure (Kpa) = 0.48

Answer:

Option B is correct. A nuclear alpha decay

Explanation:

Step 1

This equation is a nuclear reaction. So it can be an alpha decay or a beta decay

An α-particle is a helium nucleus. It contains 2 protons and 2 neutrons, for a mass number of 4.

During α-decay, an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle. It transforms (or decays) into an atom with an atomic number 2 less and a mass number 4 less.

Thus, radium-226 decays through α-particle emission to form radon-222 according to the equation that is showed.

A Beta decay occurs when, in a nucleus with too many protons or too many neutrons, one of the protons or neutrons is transformed into the other.

Option B is correct. A nuclear alpha decay
