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

Maurinko [17]

There are various properties which are exhibited by substances like physical properties,chemical properties,magnetic properties,electric properties etc.

By simply observing the substance we can not get any idea about the property of a substance.One has to conduct various tests in order to reach at his or her conclusion. The scientific tests provides a better understanding about the nature of substance and the changes that happen under various conditions and parameter.

What is the charge of an atom before any electrons are transferred?
Dmitrij [34]

The charge of an atom before any electrons are transferred is zero.An atom as a whole is electrically neutral.

An atoms contains same number of electrons and protons. The charge of an electron and a proton is equal in magnitude but opposite in sign. The charge of a proton is 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹C and the charge of an electron is -1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹C .Thus the charge of all the protons in an atoms is neutralized by the total charge of all the electrons.Thus an atom is electrically neutral.

when an atom loses electrons , it acquires a positive charge and when it gains electrons, it acquires a net charge.

Newton's law of cooling states that the rate of change of temperature of an object in a surrounding medium is proportional to th
sineoko [7]

Answer:

Newton's law of cooling says that the temperature of a body changes at a rate proportional to the difference between its temperature and that of the surrounding medium (the ambient temperature); dT/dt = -K(T - Tₐ) where T = the temperature of the body (°C), t = time (min), k = the proportionality constant (per minute),
