A jet travels 2250 km westward at a speed of 960 km/hr. it then encounters a strong headwind and its speed drops to 805 km/hr fo

r the next 1320 km of its westward trip. what is the average velocity for the trip?

Kipish [7]3 years ago

For the first part of the trip:
we have velocity = 960 km/hr and distance = 2250 km
velocity = distance / time
time1 = distance / velocity = 2250 / 960 = 2.34375 hours

For the second part of the trip:
we have velocity = 805 km/hr and distance = 1320 km
velocity = distance / time
time2 = distance / velocity = 1320 / 805 = 1.63975 hours

For the total trip:
we have:
total distance covered = 2250 + 1320 = 3570 km
total time taken = 2.34375 + 1.63975 = 3.9835 hours
average velocity = total distance / total time
average velocity = 3570 / 3.9835 = 896.1968 km/hr

In what way would a digital thermometer be preferable to those from a liquid-based thermometer?
garik1379 [7]
Reading a digital thermometer is more preferable because you can just easily read the measurement from a screen, a number will just show in a screen as compared to a liquid-based thermometer where you still have to read the measurement by counting the markers in the thermometer. Hope this helps! Mark brainly please!

You throw a rock horizontally out of a 7th story window. You time that it takes 3.7 seconds to hit the ground, and measure that
Nady [450]
Since we are only looking at the vertical height, we can use the free fall equation to find the height:
h = 0.5*g*t^2, where h is height in m, g is acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2), and t is time in seconds
h = 0.5*(9.81 m/s^2)*(3.7 s)^2
h = 67.15 m
Therefore, the 7th floor window is 67.15 m above ground level.

Which of the rolling statement is not true about proper tire care? A. If you see a weaver bar across the width of the tread. B.
skad [1K]
The correct answer should be <span>A. If you see a wear bar across the width of the tread, it's time to change the tire

This is an incorrect sentence because you should change a tire before you see the wear bar. At the time you see the bar, you should've already changed it. </span>
