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

How much money would be saved by turning off one 100.0-W lightbulb 3.0 h/day for 365 days if the
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

the money that would be saved is $13.14.

Explanation:

Given;

power consumed by the light bulb, P = 100 W = 0.1 kW

time of running the bulb, t = 3 hours for 365 days = 1,095 hours

cost rate of power consumption, C = $0.12 per kWh

Energy consumed by the light bulb for the given days;

E = Pt

E = 0.1 kW  x 1,095 hr

E = 109.5 kWh

Cost of energy consumed = 109.5 kWh   x   $0.12 / kWh

                                            = $13.14

Therefore, the money that would be saved is $13.14.

A plane flying against a jet stream will travel faster than a plane traveling with a jet stream.
kotykmax [81]

Their "airspeeds" (speed through the air) are equal, but the one traveling in the
same direction as the jet-stream appears to move along the ground faster.
