On a no wind day, an airplane is flying 2000 miles round trip from Chicago to Boston and back to Chicago with a constant speed o

f 500 mph. About how long would it take to fly the same round trip if there is a wind speed of 100 mph from Chicago to Boston during the whole round trip flight?

Answer:

It would take the plane about 4.17 hours to fly the whole round trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the distance from Chicago to Boston is 2000/2 = 1000 miles.

Since the wind is blowing from Chicago to Boston, when the plane is traveling to Boston, the velocity of the wind adds to the its velocity:

v_1 = 500mph + 100mph = 600mph;

therefore, the time it takes for the plane to go from Chicago to Boston is

t_1 = \dfrac{1000miles}{600mph}

\boxed{ t_1 = 1.67hr}

Now, as the plane flies back from Boston to Chicago, the wind is blowing opposite the direction of its movement; therefore, the wind's velocity subtracts from the velocity of the plane:

v_2 = 500mph-100mph =400mph

and the time taken during the trip is

t_2 = \dfrac{1000miles}{400mph}

\boxed{t_2 = 2.5hr. }

Therefore, the total time taken t_{tot} during the whole round trip is

t_{tot}= t_1+t_2  \\\\t_{tot} = 1.67hr+2.5hr \\

\boxed{t_{tot} = 4.17hr}

Therefore, on the windy day, it would take the plane 4.17 hours to fly the whole round trip

A small ________________ holds 75% as much as a large _________________.
Leto [7]

Answer:  The large ____ holds 48 units.

For the diagram you could draw the small rectangle 4 squares wide and 9 squares long. that will represent something that holds 36 units.

For the large one make it 4 squares wide and 12 squares long. That will have spaces for 48 units.

Step-by-step explanation: Change the percent to a decimal and set up the equation that means 36 is 75% of some number, yet unknown, X is the unknown number.

36 = .75x  divide both sides by .75  

36/.75 = .75x/.75 . The .75 "cancels" on the right. Then use a calculator.

36 ÷ .75 = 48

x = 48

Andrews [41]

Answer:

3\frac {6}{25} hrs \ or \ 3 hrs\  14 mins \ 24 sec

Step-by-step explanation:

The question calls requires one to get the product of the given time. Since first debate lasted for :

1\frac {4}{5} \ hrs

-and the second lasted

1\frac {4}{5} hrs times more than the first then the second took then the first step will involve converting the mixed fractions into improper fraction which will be:

\frac {9}{5}

-Now multiplying

\frac {9}{5}\times\frac{9}{5}\\\\=\frac{81}{25}=3\frac{6}{25}hrs

19. Use the unit circle to find the value of tan 315º.<br> Show work pls.
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer: -1

Step-by-step explanation:

First change tan(315) to:

\frac{\sin(315)}{\cos(315)}

Then evaluate the sine and cosine function. What is the y component of 315 degrees? What is the x component of 315 degrees?

-\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} /\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} =-1
