Let the distance between the towns be d and the speed of the air be s.

distance = speed * time

convert the minutes time into hours.

When flying into the wind, ground speed will be air speed MINUS wind speed, hence the against the wind trip is described by:

d

s−15

=

7

3

return trip is then :

d

s+15

=

7

5

Cross-multiplying both we get the two-variable system:

3d=7∗(s−15)5d=7∗(s+15)

3d=7s−1055d=7s+105

subtract first equation from second equation we get

2d=210d=105km

Substitute the value of d in the above equations for s.

5∗105=7s+1057s=420s=60km/hr

1. Is there a relationship between the volume of water displaced and the total volume of the block that has anything to do with
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

The volume of the block is equal to the volume of water displaced by the block.

Explanation:

Volume refers to the amount of space occupied by a given object (in this case the block). When an object such as the block is immersed in water, it displaces its own volume of water. This volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of the block. Hence we can write;

Final Volume of water - Initial Volume of water= Water Displaced = Volume of the block

Recall that the density of a body is given by;

Density= mass/volume

If we obtain the volume of the block by measuring the volume of water displaced by the block, then we weigh the block using a weighing balance, we can obtain the density of the block easily from the relationship shown above.

Allisa [31]

Answer:

Time zone is one important factor in difference in location and this in turn affects the result of the resolution and rotation of shadow produced from the sun or other illumination.

Therefore someone at a place might see a clear large shadow due to shinny sun reflection and another a small or dull Shadow at same time if the intensity of the sun or lighting source is going down.

Explanation:

The closer a body/object is to a lighting source the larger the shadow it produces, and the farther the body the smaller the shadow produced.
