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

A hypothetical planet has a mass 2.81 times that of Earth, but the same radius.
patriot [66]

The acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the planet is 27.38 m/s².

<h3>Acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the planet</h3>

g = GM/R²

where;

  • G is universal gravitation constant
  • M is mass of the planet
  • R is radius of the planet
  • g is acceleration due to gravity = ?

g = (6.626 x 10⁻¹¹ x 2.81 x 5.97 x 10²⁴) / (6371 x 10³)²

g = 27.38 m/s²

Thus, the acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the planet is 27.38 m/s².

Components connected in series are connected along a single path, so the same current flows through all of the components. If the light bulbs are connected in parallel, the currents through the light bulbs combine to form the current in the battery, while the voltage drop is across each bulb and they all glow.

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Shorter path

Explanation:

For all turning vehicles, the rear wheels follow <u>Shorter path</u> than the front wheels.

Any turning vehicle, the rear(the back part of something, especially a vehicle.) wheels follow a shorter path than the front wheels. The longer the vehicle is, the greater the difference will be in path. Trucks initially swing out before making a turn

Which insurance would contradict the big bang theory
n200080 [17]
The Big Bang theory suggests that the universe is constantly expanding and that stars, galaxies and other entities are moving away from each other. If there were a galaxy moving closer to earth then that would contradict the Big Bang theory since the entities should be moving away from earth and from each other.
