An airplane cruises at 900 km/h relative to the air. It is flying from Denver, Colorado, due west to Reno, Nevada, a distance of

1200 km, and will then return. There is a steady 80 km/h wind blowing to the east.What is the difference in flight time between the two legs of the trip?

Answer:

26.5 minutes

Explanation:

When the airplane is flying due West from Denver to Reno, the due-East wind with speed of 80km/h would reduce the ground speed by 80 km/h.

Its Denver to Reno ground speed is 900 - 80 = 720 km/h

The time it takes to cover 1200km at this speed is 1200 / 720 = 1.67 hours

On the other hand, when it returns from Reno to Denver in the due-East direction, the due-East wind with speed of 80km/h would add to the ground speed by 80 km/h

Its Reno to Denver ground speed is 900 + 80 = 980 km/h

The time it takes to cover 1200 km at this speed is 1200 / 980 = 1.22 hours

The difference it flight time would be 1.67 - 1.22 = 0.44 hours or 26.5 minutes

If 12V battery maintains a 4.5A current through a resistor what is the resistance of the resistor?
Dimas [21]

Answer:

2.7ohms

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Voltage of the battery  = 12V

Current  = 4.5A

Unknown:

Resistance of the resistor  = ?

Solution:

From Ohm's law, we know that;

          V  = IR

V is the voltage

I is the current

R is the resistance

  So;

        R  = \frac{V}{I}   = \frac{12}{4.5}    = 2.7ohms

Who is responsible of refraction light 1/3 in eye
alexandr1967 [171]

The cornea is  responsible of refraction light 1/3 in eye.

<h3>What is the function of the cornea?</h3>

In addition to the protective function, it plays a fundamental role in the formation of vision. Transparent, it works like a lens over the iris, focusing light from the pupil towards the retina.

Normally, the cornea and lens deflect (refract) incoming light rays, focusing them on the retina. The shape of the cornea is fixed, but the lens changes shape to focus on objects at different distances from the eye.

Vapor pressure is related to the temperature of the liquid. user: in an open system, the vapor pressure is equal to the _____. i
iVinArrow [24]

Answer

-Directly;  outside air pressure

Vapor pressure is directly related to the temperature of the liquid. user: in an open system, the vapor pressure is equal to the outside air pressure.

Explanation;

-As the temperature of a system increases, the average kinetic energy of the molecules increases in both the liquid and gas phases.

-A higher average kinetic energy facilitates the escape of molecules from the liquid phase into the gas phase. At the same time, the rate of return of gas phase molecules to the liquid also increases. A new equilibrium point is reached at a higher gaseous vapor pressure. The increase in vapor pressure with temperature is exponential.
