Answer:

  160 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between time, speed, and distance is ...

  time = distance/speed

__

If p represents the plane's speed, then the speed with the wind is p+20 and the time to go 405 miles is ...

  405/(p+20)

The speed against the wind is p-20, and the time to go 315 miles is ...

  315/(p-20)

These two times are equal, so we have ...

  405/(p+20) = 315/(p-20)

  405(p-20) = 315(p+20) . . . . . . cross multiply

  90p = 6300 +8100 = 14400 . . . . add 8100 -315p

  p = 14400/90 = 160

The speed of the plane in still air is 160 mph.

Can someone help me with all this?? i really dont get it ​
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

A=78

B=102

C=78

Step-by-step explanation:

A= a and 102 are on a straight line so they add up to 180. 180-102=78. The same goes for C

B= the vertical angle for 102, or the same thing with a and c, just flipped around

A rock thrown vertically upward from the surface of the moon at a velocity of 36​m/sec reaches a height of s = 36t - 0.8 t^2 met
Verdich [7]

Answer:

a. The rock's velocity is v(t)=36-1.6t \:{(m/s)}  and the acceleration is a(t)=-1.6  \:{(m/s^2)}

b. It takes 22.5 seconds to reach the highest point.

c. The rock goes up to 405 m.

d. It reach half its maximum height when time is 6.59 s or 38.41 s.

e. The rock is aloft for 45 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Velocity is defined as the rate of change of position or the rate of displacement. v(t)=\frac{ds}{dt}
  • Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. a(t)=\frac{dv}{dt}

a.

The rock's velocity is the derivative of the height function s(t) = 36t - 0.8 t^2

v(t)=\frac{d}{dt}(36t - 0.8 t^2) \\\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:Sum/Difference\:Rule}:\quad \left(f\pm g\right)'=f\:'\pm g'\\\\v(t)=\frac{d}{dt}\left(36t\right)-\frac{d}{dt}\left(0.8t^2\right)\\\\v(t)=36-1.6t

The rock's acceleration is the derivative of the velocity function v(t)=36-1.6t

a(t)=\frac{d}{dt}(36-1.6t)\\\\a(t)=-1.6

b. The rock will reach its highest point when the velocity becomes zero.

v(t)=36-1.6t=0\\36\cdot \:10-1.6t\cdot \:10=0\cdot \:10\\360-16t=0\\360-16t-360=0-360\\-16t=-360\\t=\frac{45}{2}=22.5

It takes 22.5 seconds to reach the highest point.

c. The rock reach its highest point when t = 22.5 s

Thus

s(22.5) = 36(22.5) - 0.8 (22.5)^2\\s(22.5) =405

So the rock goes up to 405 m.

d. The maximum height is 405 m. So the half of its maximum height = \frac{405}{2} =202.5 \:m

To find the time it reach half its maximum height, we need to solve

36t - 0.8 t^2=202.5\\36t\cdot \:10-0.8t^2\cdot \:10=202.5\cdot \:10\\360t-8t^2=2025\\360t-8t^2-2025=2025-2025\\-8t^2+360t-2025=0

For a quadratic equation of the form ax^2+bx+c=0 the solutions are

x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

\mathrm{For\:}\quad a=-8,\:b=360,\:c=-2025:\\\\t=\frac{-360+\sqrt{360^2-4\left(-8\right)\left(-2025\right)}}{2\left(-8\right)}=\frac{45\left(2-\sqrt{2}\right)}{4}\approx 6.59\\\\t=\frac{-360-\sqrt{360^2-4\left(-8\right)\left(-2025\right)}}{2\left(-8\right)}=\frac{45\left(2+\sqrt{2}\right)}{4}\approx 38.41

It reach half its maximum height when time is 6.59 s or 38.41 s.

e. It is aloft until s(t) = 0 again

36t - 0.8 t^2=0\\\\\mathrm{Factor\:}36t-0.8t^2\rightarrow -t\left(0.8t-36\right)\\\\\mathrm{The\:solutions\:to\:the\:quadratic\:equation\:are:}\\\\t=0,\:t=45

The rock is aloft for 45 seconds.

Solve the inequality 2x – 5 &gt; 7<br> a. x&gt;6<br> b. x &gt;12<br> c. x
julsineya [31]
You start with 2x -5>7 the you add five to both sides 2x-5+5>7 +5    2x.12  then divide both sides by 2 2x divided by 2 > and 12 divided by 2 and get x>6
