Against the wind a commercial airline in south america flew 784 miles in 4 hours. with a tailwind the return trip took 3.53 hour

s. what was the speed of the plane in still? air

First let us assign variables,

d = distance travelled

t = time it took

v = velocity of the commercial airline

In linear physics, the equation for velocity is given as:

v = d / t

Rewriting for d:

d = v t

We know that the distance to and from south America are equal therefore:

d1 (going) = d2 (return)

Let us say that velocity of air is v3. Since going to South America, the wind is against the direction of the plane and the return trip is the opposite, therefore:

(v1 - v3) t1 = (v1 + v3) t2

(v1 – v3) 4 = (v1 + v3) 3.53

4 v1 – 4 v3 = 3.53 v1 + 3.53 v3

0.47 v1 = 7.53 v3

v1 = 16.02 v3

Since we also know that:

(v1 - v3) t1 = 784

(16.02 v3 – v3) * 4 = 784

60.085 v3 = 784

v3 = 13.05 mph

Therefore the speed of the plane in still air, v1 is:

v1 = 16.02 * 13.05

<span>v1 = 209.03 mph           (ANSWER)</span>

Plants depend on the atmosphere for the largest source of
Sonja [21]
The correct answer that would best complete the given statement above would be CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2). Plants <span>depend on the atmosphere for the largest source of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is considered as an important trace gas in the Earth's atmosphere which constitutes about 0.04% of it. Hope this answer helps. </span>

Is there any induced current in the pickup coil when the polarity of the bar magnet is flipped?
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Faraday's law , he direction of the magnetic field changes by 180º, in the polarity inversion processes, induces a voltage.  

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Faraday's law

          E = - dФ / dt

          Ф = B.A = B A cos θ

where B is the magnetic field, A is the area and θ is the angle between the field line and the normal to the area.

We can see that an electromotive force (voltage) is indexed when there is a variation of the field B, a variation of the area and change of the angle or when there is a combinational of them.

In this case, the magnitude of the field is constant, as the wire is rigid metal, the area is constant, but the direction of the magnetic field changes by 180º, in the polarity inversion processes, for which reason each change induces a voltage.

If a voltage is created in the ring, which has a resistance, a current is also generated in it.

Therefore the answer is If a current is created in the hoop

An 8 kg mass moving at 8 m/s collides with a 6 kg mass
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

10 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

(8 kg)(8 m/s) + (6 kg)(6 m/s) = (8 kg)(5 m/s) + (6 kg) v

64 kg m/s + 36 kg m/s = 40 kg m/s + (6 kg) v

60 kg m/s = (6 kg) v

v = 10 m/s
