A plane flying against the wind covers the 900-kilometer distance between two aerodromes in 2 hours. The same plane flying with

the wind covers the same distance in 1 hour and 48 minutes. If the speed of the wind is constant, what is the speed of the wind?

Answer:

The speed of the wind is 25 km/hr.

Explanation:

Let us call v_p the speed of the plane and v_w the speed of the wind. When the plane is flying against the wind, it covers the distance of 900-km in 2 hours (120 minutes); therefore;

(1). v_p - v_w = \dfrac{900km}{120min}

And when the plane is flying with the wind, it covers the same distance in 1 hour 48 minutes (108 minutes)

(2). v_p+v_w= \dfrac{900km}{108min}

From equation (1) we solve for v_p and get:

v_p = \dfrac{900km}{120min}+v_w,

and by putting this into equation (2) we get:

\dfrac{900km}{120min}+v_w+v_w= \dfrac{900km}{108min}

2v_w= \dfrac{900km}{108min}-\dfrac{900km}{120min}

2v_w = 8.3km/min - 7.5km/min

2v_w = 0.83km/min

v_w = 0.4165km/min

or in km/hr this is

\boxed{v_w= 25km/hr }

Amelia is doing an experiment in which she is
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

tie hair back

only burn the amount of chemicals as

directed by the lab procedure

Explanation:

The correct safety precautions for Amelia to take from the options would be <u>to tie her hair back</u> and t<u>o only burn the amount of chemicals recommended by the lab procedure.</u>

<em>With her hair left flowing freely, Amelia runs the risk of the hair catching flame while trying to burn the chemicals according to the procedure. Hence, tying her hair up into one neat bunch will limit the risk of it catching fire while working in the lab.</em>

<em>Also, burning less or more than the amount of chemicals recommended by the procedure may be dangerous or hinder Amelia from getting the right result.</em>

check the state of polarization of the room lights by looking at the room lights through one of the polarizers and rotating it t
maria [59]

Answer:

No, there wasn't any variation in the light intensity at 360 degrees.

During the rotation, rotating through an angle of 90° gradually brought the intensity to a maximum. Rotating by another 90° degrees brought the intensity to a minimum at some point. Rotating by another 90° brought it back to its maximum and then another 90° brought it to its initial intensity.
