Answer:

$- \frac{71}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$- 7 \frac{1}{10} \div \frac{2}{5}$

$= - \frac{71}{10} \times \frac{5}{2}$

$= - \frac{71}{2} \times \frac{1}{2}$

$= - \frac{71}{4}$

List the following objects in order from lowest inertia to highest inertia: Earth, desk, baseball, fork, house, feather,

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Feather, fork, baseball, desk, cow, tow truck, house, Earth, Sun

Step-by-step explanation:

The bigger the object, the more inertia it has, since it's harder to move a bigger object. So, since a feather is the smallest thing with the least amount mass, it should be the easiest to move, giving it the least amount of inertia. It's the opposite for the Sun, since it's the biggest object on the list.

Dave and Sandy Hartranft are frequent flyers with a particular airline. They often fly from City A to City B, a distance of 756

horsena [70]

Answer:

Plane = 441 mi/h; wind = 63 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

distance = rate × time

Let p = the plane's speed in still air

and w = the wind speed . Then,

p + w = speed with wind

p - w = speed against wind

We have two conditions:

(1) 756 = (p - w) × 2

(2) 756 = (p + w) × 1.5

Distribute the constants (3) 756 = 2p - 2w

(4) 756 = 1.5p + 1.5 w

Multiply Equation (3) by 3 (5) 2268 = 6p - 6w

Multiply Equation (4) by 4 (6) 3024 = 6p + 6w

Add Equations (5) and (6) 5292 = 12p

Divide each side by 12 (7) p = 441 mi/h

Substitute (7) into Equation(3) 756 = 882 - 2w

Add 2w to each side 2w + 756 = 882

Subtract 756 from each side 2w = 126

Divide each side by 2 w = 63 mph

The plane's speed in still air is 441 mi/h.

The wind speed is 63 mph.

Check:

(1) 756 = (441 - 63) × 2 (2) 756 = (441 + 63) × 1.5

756 = 378 × 2 756 = 504 × 1.5

756 = 756 756 = 756
