You have to take note of the individual directions of the plane. Since one is heading east, and the other is heading west, the planes are heading at opposite directions. So, it means that their distance between each other would be equal to 1,200 miles which accounts for the sum of their individual distances. The equation is as follows:

Total Distance = Distance of slower plane + Distance of faster plane
1,200 miles = st + (30+s)(t)
where
s is the speed of the slower plane and t is the time. Since both are not given, the final answer would just be in terms of s.
1,200 = t(s + 30 + s)
t = 1200/(30+2s)
t = 600/(15+s)

What is the relation between force and acceleration​
Galina-37 [17]

The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased.

the ocean floor is, on average, 4267 m below sea level. What is the pressure in the atmosphere at this depth?
hichkok12 [17]
The pressure at the depth h in the ocean is given by (Stevin's law)
p= p_0 + \rho g h
where
p_0 = 1.0 \cdot 10^5 Pa is the atmospheric pressure
and \rho g h is the pressure exerted by the column of water of height h=4267 m, with \rho = 1000 kg/m^3 being the water density and g=9.81 m/s^2.
Substituting, we find
p=1.0 \cdot 10^5 Pa + (1000 kg/m^3)(9.81 m/s^2)(4267 m)=4.20 \cdot 10^7 Pa
We want to convert this into atmospheres: we know that 1 atm corresponds to the atmospheric pressure at sea level, so 1 atm=1.0\cdot 10^5 Pa, therefore we just need to divide by this number:
p= \frac{4.20 \cdot 10^7 Pa}{1.0 \cdot 10^5 Pa/atm} =420 atm

A teacher performing demonstration finds that a piece of cork displaces 23.5 ml of water. The piece of cork has a mass 5.7 g. Wh
Sedbober [7]

Answer: 0.24g/ml

Explanation:

Given that:

Volume of water displaced = 23.5 ml

Mass of cork = 5.7 g

Density of the cork = ?

Recall that density is obtained by dividing the mass of a substance by the volume of water displaced.

i.e Density = Mass/volume

Density = 5.7g /23.5ml

Density = 0.24g/ml

Thus, the density of the piece of cork is 0.24g/ml
