The answer is x = 2 and y = 3
Let J = rate of jet in still airLet W = rate of wind Distance formula: d = rt / r = d/t Flying against the wind the jet flies at a rate of J - W = 1860 miles/3 hours = 620 miles per hourFlying with the wind the jet flies at a rate of J+W = 9180 miles/9 hours = 1020 miles per hour The average of these 2 rate is the speed of the jet in still air J = (620+1020)/2 = 820 miles per hour J - W = 620
820 - W = 620
W = 820 - 620 = 200 miles per hour The jet in still air flies at a rate of 820 mph(miles per hour)The wind speed is 200 mph(miles per hour)
Sharon spends 1248 because there are 52 weeks in a year and 24 * 52 = 1248
V o = 15 m/s, a = 2 m/s², t = 15 s
v = v o + a · t
v = 15 m/s + 2 m/s² · 15 s = 15 m/s + 30 m/s = 45 m/s
Answer: A ) 45 m/s
