<span>The speed of the plane in still air is 440 miles per hour and the speed of the wind is 50 miles per hour. Figured as follows:

Speed of the plane traveling with the wind subtracted by the speed of the plane traveling against the wind (490 minus 390) equals 100. Divide 100 by the number of directions traveled (with and against the wind); (100 divided by 2) equals 50. Thus the speed of the wind is 50 miles per hour.

If no wind was acting on the plane then the average of the difference of the speeds recorded would be the planes speed in still air. (490 minus 390 equals 100 divided by 2 equals 50 plus 390 equals 440 miles per hour).</span>

Let the speed of plane in still air be x and that wind be y
therefore:
x+y=490
x-y=390
next we solve for the values of x and y, first we add the above equations. This will give us:
2x=880
x=880/2
x=440 miles per hour.
substituting the value of x in one of the equations and solving for y we get:
440+y=490
y=490-440
y=50 miles per hour

Solve the problem.
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

16.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the answer by using the following formula:

final people=(initial people)+((initial people)*(percent increase)) which can be written as:

percent increase=((final people)-(initial people))/(initial people) so:

percent increase=(83-71)/71=0.169=16.9%

In conclusion, the percent increase is 16.9%.

Troyanec [42]
Let x = total distance he covered
3x/4         by bus
1/2 . x/4  =  x/8  by jogging
the remaining distance  =  x/8               by walking
thus      x/8 = 800ft
           x =    8 . 800 = 6400ft

Forces of 9 lbs and 13 lbs act at a 38º angle to each other. Find the magnitude of the resultant force and the angle that the re
fiasKO [112]

Answer: R=20.84\ lb\quad 22.57^{\circ},15.43^{\circ}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Two forces of 9 and 13 lbs acts 38^{\circ} angle to each other

The resultant of the two forces is given by

\Rightarrow R=\sqrt{a^2+b^2+2ab\cos \theta}

Insert the values

\Rightarrow R=\sqrt{9^2+13^2+2(9)(13)\cos 38^{\circ}}\\\Rightarrow R=\sqrt{81+169+184.394}\\\Rightarrow R=\sqrt{434.394}\\\Rightarrow R=20.84\ lb

Resultant makes an angle of

\Rightarrow \alpha=\tan^{-1}\left( \dfrac{b\sin \theta}{a+b\cos \theta}\right)\\\\\text{Considering 9 lb force along the x-axis}\\\\\Rightarrow \alpha =\tan^{-1}\left( \dfrac{13\sin 38^{\circ}}{9+13\cos 38^{\circ}}\right)\\\\\Rightarrow \alpha =\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{8}{19.244})\\\\\Rightarrow \alpha=22.57^{\circ}

So, the resultant makes an angle of 22.57^{\circ} with 9 lb force

Angle made with 13 lb force is 38^{\circ}-22.57^{\circ}=15.43^{\circ}
