An airplane starts from A and flies to B at a constant speed. After reaching B it returns to A at the same speed. There was no w

ind. Assuming there was a wind from A to B of constant magnitude, when will the round trip take more time – when there is a wind or when there is no wind?

Answer:

When there is wind it takes longer

Explanation:

With no wind, the round trip time is

t_1=\frac{d}{v}+\frac{d}{v}=\frac{2d}{v}

When we have a constant wind speed w

t_2=\frac{d}{v-w} +\frac{d}{v+w} =\frac{2vd}{v^{2} -w^{2}}

comparing the reciprocal times;

\frac{1}{t_2}=\frac{v^{2}-w^{2} }{2vd}=\frac{v}{2d}-\frac{w^{2}}{2vd}   \leq \frac{v}{2d}=\frac{1}{t_1}

This means that t1 is smaller than t2, ergo, it takes longer with wind

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

e. all of these

Explanation:

The fatigue strength is improved by then high alloy steels , high yield steels , high hardened steel , high ultimate steel .

Due to the formation of the improved materials in alloy steels will increase the fatigue strength . Similarly for a high yield steels and hardened steels these cycles to failure will improve .
