For the first 5 hours of a trip, a plane averaged 120 kilometers per hour. For the remainder of the trip, the plane travelled an

average speed of 180 kilometers per hour. If the average speed for the entire trip was 170 kilometers per hour, how many hours long was the entire trip?

Answer:

t  all=  30h

Explanation:

In this problem the speed of the plane is constant, so we can use the equations of uniform rectilinear motion, the definition of average speed is the distance traveled between the time taken.

    v = d / t

Let's calculate each distance

First part of the trip

    v₁ = d₁ / t₁

    d₁ = v₁ t₁

    d₁ = 120 t₁

Second part of the trip

    v₂ = d₂ / t₂

    d₂ = v₂ t₂

   d₂ = 180 t₂

Total trip

   v₃ = d₃ / t₃

   d₃ = v₃ t₃

   d₃ = 170 t₃

The total travel distance is the sum of each distance and the total time is the initial time of 5 h plus the time of the second part (t2)

    d₁ + d₂ = 170 t₃

    120 5 + 180 t₂ = 170 (5 + t₂)

Let's solve

   600 + 180 t₂ = 850 +170 t₂

   t₂ (180 -170) = 850 - 600

   10 t₂ = 250

   t₂ = 25 h

Therefore, the total travel time is

   t  all= 5 +25 = 30h

The distance from a crest to a trough is called the wave length
V125BC [204]

Answer:

Explanation:

The highest surface part of a wave is called the crest, and the lowest part is the trough. The vertical distance between the crest and the trough is the wave height. The horizontal distance between two adjacent crests or troughs is known as the wavelength.

I hope it's helpful!

What is the difference between a negative feedback system and a positive feedback system?
Anni [7]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The negative feedback is responsible for maintaining equilibrium (stability) in a system as it lessens effects, which is contrary to positive feedback which increases reaction and moves a system further away from equilibrium (stability), It does so by amplifying the effects of a product or event and occurs when something needs to happen quickly. e.g

  • Insulin lowers down blood sugar levels, so when the body detects that it has too much sugar, the pancreas is prompted to release insulin and only stops when balance is achieved; hence, negative feedback.  
  •  When there is a tear on the skin, a chemical is released. This chemical causes platelets in the blood to activate, hence they release a chemical which signals more platelets to activate, until the wound is clotted, positive feedback.
