V = speed of helicopter

v = speed of wind

V - v = speed of helicopter against the wind

d = distance traveled against the wind = 168 mi

t = time of travel = 2 h

using the equation

speed = distance/time

V - v = d/t

V - v = 168/2

V - v = 84

v = V - 84 eq-1

V + v = speed of helicopter with the wind

D = distance traveled with the wind = 252 mi

t = time of travel = 2 h

using the equation

speed = distance/time

V + v = D/t

V + v = 252/2

V + v = 126

using eq-1

V + V - 84 = 126

V = 105 mph

Let v_h be the speed of the helicopter in still air. Let v_w be the speed of the wind. Then, from the given information,

(v_h-v_w)2=168\\ (v_h+v_w)2=252\\

Adding the above 2 equations,

4v_h=168+252\\ 4v_h=420\\ v_h=105

The speed of the helicopter in still air 105 \;mi/hour

in positive numbers less than 1, the zeros between the decimal point and a non-zero number are _______ significant?
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

If a number of less than 1, then the number has a decimal point like

0.085, 0.008 e.t.c.

The zeros before the none zero digit are insignificant. The significant figure is 8 and 5.

But if there a zero between the none zero e.g. 0.0087056

Here the zero between 7 and 5 is significant, then the significant numbers are 8,7,0,5,6

But if the zero is not in between the none zero digit, then the zero is insignificant

E.g 0.05800

The last two zero is insignificant, the significant number is 5 and 8

So, If a positive numbers less than 1, the zeros between the decimal point and a non-zero number are NOT significant.
