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

What is the reverse of vaporization?
Naddik [55]
Answer: condensation.

Vaporization is the pass from liquid state to gaseous state.

Then the reverse is the transformation from gaseous state to liquid state.

That is called condensation.

When the water vaporizes the liquid transforms into vapor which goes to the atmosphere. When the water vapor of the atmosphere condensates liquid water is formed. You can see condensation when you have a glass with cold water and drops of water form in the exterior of the glass: those drops are liquid water that formed when the vapor of the air that surrounds the glass cools due to the lower temperature of the surface of the glass.

A is a hot object.  B is a cold object.  the two are brought into contact with each other so that heat is developed
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

A) Cold object will start getting hot

B) Heat exchange will stop as the two object acquire the same temperature.

Explanation:

A) When one hot object and one cold object are kept in contact then the heat is transferred from the hot object to the cold object via different modes of heat transmission. Hence, the cold object starts getting hot

B) The transmission of heat from the hot object to the cold object will stop as the temperature of the two object becomes equal to each other.

The diagram shows the movement of air as a result of convection currents. At which point is the air at its highest density?
stellarik [79]

When you bring two objects of different temperature together, energy will always be transferred from the hotter to the cooler object.  The objects will exchange thermal energy, until thermal equilibrium is reached, i.e. until their temperatures are equal.  We say that heat flows from the hotter to the cooler object.  Heat is energy on the move.  

Units of heat are units of energy.  The SI unit of energy is Joule.  Other often encountered units of energy are 1 Cal = 1 kcal = 4186 J, 1 cal = 4.186 J, 1 Btu = 1054 J.

Without an external agent doing work, heat will always flow from a hotter to a cooler object.  Two objects of different temperature always interact.  There are three different ways for heat to flow from one object to another.  They are conduction, convection, and radiation.

A solar reflector is made using 31 identical triangular-shaped mirrors, each having sides . What is the total surface area of th
Stels [109]

Complete Question

Question 18 (3 points) Solve the problem. (3 points) A solar reflector is made using 31 identical triangular-shaped mirrors, each having sides 2.4m, 2. 3m, 1.5 m. What is the total surface area of the reflector?

A) 33 m2  

B) 86 m2

C) 52 m2

D)  34 m2

Answer:

The value is  Area  =2.78 \   m^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  sides are  a =  2.4 m

                             b  =  2.3 m

                             c  =  1.5 m

Generally the semi perimeter is mathematically represented as

           s = \frac { a + b  + c  }{2 }

=>       s = \frac { 2.4  + 2.3  + 1.5   }{2 }

=>       s =3.1  \  m

Generally the using Heron's  formula we have that the  surface are a is  mathematically represented as

            Area  =  \sqrt{S (S -  a) (S - b )(S - c ) }

=>         Area  =  \sqrt{3.1  (3.1  -   2.4) (3.1  -  2.3 )(3.1  -  1.5 ) }

=>        Area  =2.78 \   m^2
