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

If an object is projected upward with an initial velocity of 127 ft per? sec, its height h after t seconds is h equals negative
Stolb23 [73]
To determine the height of the object given the time, we simply use the given relation between height and time in the problem statement. It is given as:

h = -16t^2 + 127t

We substitute 55 seconds to t and obtain,

h = -16(55)^2 + 127(55)
h = - 41415

Atomic radius<br><br>moving from left to right across a period,<br>​
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Atomic radius decreases moving from left to right across a period.

Explanation:

When we move left to right across a period, the size of atoms generally decreases. It is because within the period the outer electrons are in same valence shell and the number of electrons and proton increases moving from left to right across the the period. It increases the effective nuclear charge resulting in the increased attraction of electron to the nucleus that causes the decreased radius of the atoms.
