A plane has a cruising speed of 250 miles per hour when there is no wind. at this speed, the plane flew 300 miles with the wind

in the same amount of time it flew 200 miles against the wind. find the speed of the wind.

V = speed of the plane with no wind = 250 mph

v  = speed of wind

consider the motion of the plane while traveling with the wind :

V' = speed of plane travelling in the direction of wind = V + v = 250 + v

d' = distance traveled = 300 miles

t' = time taken to travel the distance

time taken to travel the distance is given as

t' = d'/V'

t' = 300/(250 + v)                                           eq-1


consider the motion of the plane while traveling against the wind :

V'' = speed of plane travelling against the direction of wind = V - v = 250 - v

d'' = distance traveled = 200 miles

t'' = time taken to travel the distance

time taken to travel the distance is given as

t'' = d''/V''

t'' = 200/(250 - v)                                           eq-2

Given that :

time taken to travel 300 miles = time taken to travel 200 miles

t' = t''

using eq-1  and eq-2

300/(250 + v)  = 200/(250 - v)

3/(250 + v)  = 2/(250 - v)

750 - 3 v = 500 + 2 v

5 v = 250

v = 50 mph

A 3 kg mass object is pushed 0.6 m into a spring with spring constant 210 N/m on a frictionless horizontal surface. Upon release
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of spring,m=3 kg

Distance moved by object,d=0.6 m

Spring constant,k=210N/m

Height,h=1.5 m

a.Work done  to compress the spring initially=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}(210)(0.6)^2=37.8J

b.

By conservation law of energy

Initial energy of spring=Kinetic energy  of object

37.8=\frac{1}{2}(3)v^2

v^2=\frac{37.8\times 2}{3}

v=\sqrt{\frac{37.8\times 2}{3}}

v=5.02 m/s

c.Work done by friction on the incline,w_{friction}=P.E-spring \;energy

W_{friction}=3\times 9.8\times 1.5-37.8=6.3 J

An object traveling 200 feet per second slows to 50 feet per second in 5 seconds. Calculate the acceleration of the object. Use
shtirl [24]

Answer:

-30m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity of object  = 200 feet/second

Final velocity of object  = 50 feet/second

Time of travel = 5 seconds

To calculate acceleration of the object we will find the rate of change of velocity with respect to time.

So, acceleration "a" is given by:

a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}

where vf represents final velocity, vi represents initial velocity and  is time of travel.

Plugging in values to evaluate acceleration.

a=\frac{50-200}{5}

a=\frac{-150}{5}

a= -30m/s

The acceleration of the object is -30m/s
