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

Why do reactivity increases on moving from top to bottom in group 2 of modern periodic table?
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

that's because....

group 1 (e.g Na, K) those tend to lose one electron to gain noble gas electron configuration.

they can achieve that by just losing one electron from their outer shell.

as you go down the group 1, element gets bigger in size, which means there is more space between nucleus (which is in center of atom) and electron of outer shell. the more far away they are the less attraction force between them.

so its easier for potassuim to lose one electron than for lithuim.

so that means potassium will easily give up 1 electron to react with non metal or other element therefore it is more reactive than lithuim

but in case of non metal, the opposite happens but simple to understand.

as you go down the group 7 (halogen- Cl, Br, I) element will get bigger therefore force between nucleus and outer electron is getting smaller. they have to gain 1 electron in order to fill the outer shell (to gain noble gas electron configuration.)

as florine is more smaller in size than clorine it is more reactive because florine has more tendency to pull extra electron from metal or other element towards its side. so it easily gain 1 electron to react.

Answer 3 &amp; 4
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

The answer  for 2-hexene is that the structure should have 6 carbon with a double bond beginning on the 2nd carbon atom.

The answer for 1-pentyne is that the structure should have 5 carbon with triple bond beginning on the 1st carbon atom.

Explanation:

<u>2-Hexene</u>

The structural formula for 2-hexene will have 6 carbons because the nomenclature has a -hex prefix, which stands for 6 carbons.

The -ene suffix of the nomenclature means that the organic compound is an alkene. Alkenes are hydrocarbons that contain double covalent bond and  have the suffix -ene.

The double bond is on the 2 carbon atom because the nomenclature states that the double bond will be on the 2 carbon atom.

<u>1-Pentyne</u>

The structure will have 5 carbons since the -pent prefix means 5 carbons.

The structure has a triple bond because the -yne suffix means that the structure is an alkyne. An alkyne is a hydrocarbon with triple covalent bonds.

Also, the position of the triple bond is known because the nomenclature of the alkyne states that the triple bond is on the 1st carbon.
