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

nan moved 18m to the right and then another 22m to the right if the motion takes 20 seconds what is nans velocity
IrinaVladis [17]
Step 1: list known info

distance(change in position (Δx))= 18m+22m= 40m
time= 20 seconds

Step 2 :solve for velocity

velocity= Δx÷time
v= 40/20= 2m/s

Answer: the velocity is 2 meters per a second (m/s)

Light rays in a material with index of refrection 1.35 1.35 can undergo total internal reflection when they strike the interface
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

1.30

Explanation:

To calculate the critical angle we have ti use the formula:

sin\theta_c=\frac{n_2}{n_1}

where theta_c is the critical angle, n1 is the index of refraction of the material where the light is totally reflected, and n2 is the refractive index of the other material.

By taking n_2 and replacing we obtain:

n_2=n_1sin\theta_c=(1.35)sin75.1\°=1.30

hope this helps!!

Describe one new piece of information that you learned about one of the featured scientist
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

<u>Development in science:</u>

There a number of individuals in the world around us who has improved the field of science and made it easy for us to know this universe more easily then ever. This universe is still unexplored and there are going to be more then billions of stars which are still not studied and has an immense amount of information regarding the universe.

<u>Stephen Hawking:</u> The scientist who made it easy for each of us to know the universe and more over the cosmos in a more detailed form, as before this no one knew about the different patterns of entities and there properties.

<u>A genius who was handicapped:</u>

He was a genius in cosmology, mathematics, and other subjects of science as he was diagnosed by the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis(ALS), which made it unable for him to live a normal life.But, he communicated through a computer which detected his nerve signals and shared his thoughts about any thing or subject.

<u>Why him?</u>

Stephen hawking was just tremendous in making it more understandable about the black holes, time worms, and space etc.As it was known to very small number of people before he took the stage.
