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 }

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

Explanation:

r=A(1 m/s)t^i+A((1 m/s3)t3−6(1 m/s2)t2)^j,

dr / dt = A i  + (3 A t² - 6 x 2 t ) j

At t = 2

dr / dt = A i  + (12A - 24 A ) j  = A i - 12 A j .

Since slope is negative so velocity is downwards , hence it is descending

b ) velocity = dr / dr =  .  A i  + (3 A t² - 6 x 2 t ) j

Vx = A

Vy = 3A t² - 12 t

Explain why the atomic mass of an element is a weighted-average mass
Sliva [168]
The isotopes contribute to the average atomic mass based on their abundance. The result is that the "average" mass for the atoms of an element is dictated by the most abundant or common isotope. The average atomic mass for carbon is 12.0107 amu. The atomic mass as displayed on the periodic table is a weighted average relative atomic mass of the naturally occuring isotopes of that element. An isotope is an element with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons For example - Carbon naturally occurs in isotopes C12, C13 and C14 with abundances of 98.9% 1.1% and 'trace' respectively. the average mass is then calculated by 12*98.9%+13*1.1% = 12.01g/mol

A wave is a disturbance that carries energy through space. Which of these characterizes the fundamental difference between mecha
shusha [124]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves are the types of waves we have. The major difference between this type of waves is that, while mechanical waves requires material medium for its propagation, electromagnetic waves does not require material medium for its propagation.

Example of mechanical waves are waves produced by a ripple tank.

Example of an electromagnetic waves are the electromagnetic spectrum which includes radio waves, infrared waves, visible light, ultraviolet rays etc... This waves are produced naturally without any medium compare to mechanical wave.
