When a plane flies with the​ wind, it can travel 1575 miles in 3.5 hours. when the plane flies in the opposite​ direction, again

st the​ wind, it takes 4.5 hours to fly the same distance. find the average velocity of the plane in still air and the average velocity of the wind?

When plane is flying along the wind then we can say

V_{plane} + v_{wind} = \frac{distance}{time}

V_{plane} + v_{wind} = \frac{1575}{3.5}

V_{plane} + v_{wind} = 450 mph

Now when its going against the wind the speed is given by

V_{plane} - v_{wind} = \frac{distance}{time}

V_{plane} - v_{wind} = \frac{1575}{4.5}

V_{plane} - v_{wind} = 350 mph

Now by the above two equations we will have

V_{plane} = 400 mph

v_{wind} = 50 mph

gavmur [86]

Answer:

Explanation:the atom consists of a tiny nucleus at its center which is surrounded by a moving electrons. The nucleus contains a positively charged proton equal in size with the negatively charged electrons . The nucleus also may contain neutrons which have the same mass with the protons but no charge is neutral.

Which answer is a scientifically accurate description of velocity?
viktelen [127]

The boat traveled from the dock north to the 200-meter marker in the bay in less than 5 minutes, giving the passengers several more hours to fish.

Explanation:

Velocity is a physical quantity that describes the rate of change of displacement with time.

   Velocity = \frac{Displacement}{time taken}

The quantity differs from speed in that it has both magnitude and direction.

From the options given above:

Displacement: The boat traveled in the north direction from the dock to a 200m mark.

Time taken: approximately less than 5 minutes was the duration of traveling.

This describes the boat's velocity accurately.

an astronaut drops a hammer and an egg while standing on the surface of the moon. which one will the surface first?
elena-s [515]
The two will fall at the same speed and reach the surface at the same time. This is because the two will experience the same gravitational acceleration on the moon. However, on the earth surface the two will land on the surface of the earth at the same time due to air resistance such that the egg will experience a higher air resistance than the hammer. On, the moon, where there is no noticeable atmosphere there is no air resistance on either object and both fall at the same speed. It is also important to note that their mass doesn't affect their speed.

Ch 27 HW Exercise 27.12 10 of 20 Constants A horizontal rectangular surface has dimensions 2.80 cm by 3.15 cm and is in a unifor
deff fn [24]

Answer:

Magnetic field, B = 0.88 T

Explanation:

It is given that,

The dimension of rectangular surface is 2.80 cm by 3.15 cm. The area of rectangular surface is, A=8.82\ cm^2=0.000882\ m^2

Angle between the uniform magnetic field and the horizontal, \theta=31

Magnetic flux, \phi=4\times 10^{-4}\ Wb

Let B is the magnitude of magnetic field in which the rectangular surface is placed. It is given by :

\phi=BA\ cos\theta

\theta is the angle between magnetic field and the area

Here, \theta=90-31=59^{\circ}

B=\dfrac{\phi}{A\ cos\theta}

B=\dfrac{4\times 10^{-4}}{0.000882\times cos(59)}

B = 0.88 T

So, the magnitude of magnetic field is 0.88 T. Hence, this is the required solution.
