Answer:

a.) the average speed of the aircraft in miles per hour

115.76 miles/ hour

b.) the fuel consumption in miles per pound of fuel

(assume a density of 0.70 g/mL for the fuel.)

2.8 miles/Ib of fuel

Step-by-step explanation:

A press release describing the 1986 nonstop, round-the-world trip by the aircraft voyager including the following data:

flight distance: 25,012 miles

flight time: 9 days, 3 min., 44 seconds

fuel capacity: nearly 9000 lbs.

fuel remaining at the end of flight: 14 gal.

To the maximum number of significant figure permitted, calculate:

a.) the average speed of the aircraft in miles per hour

Step 1

We convert the time to hours

flight time: 9 days, 3 min., 44 seconds

1 day = 24 hours

9 days =

24 × 9

= 216 hours

60 mins = 1 hour

3 mins =

3/60 = 1/20 = 0.05 hours

1 hour = 60 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds

1 hour = 60 × 60 = 3600 seconds

If 3600 seconds = 1 hour

44 seconds =

= 44/3600

= 0.0122222222 hours

Total number of hours spent = (216 + 0.05 + 0.0122222222) hours

= 216.06222222 hours

Speed = Distance/Time

= flight distance: 25,012 miles

Speed = 25,012 miles/ 216.06222222hours

= 115.76294895 miles/ hour

Approximately = 115.76 miles/ hour

b.) the fuel consumption in miles per pound of fuel

(assume a density of 0.70 g/mL for the fuel.)

Step 1

We determine how much fuel is used

We have 14 gallons of fuel left over

1 gallon = 3.785 litres

14 gallons =

Cross Multiply

14 gallons × 3.785 liters/1 gallon

= 52.9958 liters

Note that density of fuel =

0.70 g/ml

1 gram / millilitre = 1 kilogram / litre

Hence, 0.7g/ml = 0.7 kg/L

Hence,the mass of fuel left = 52.9958 liters * 0.7 = 37.09706kg

1 kilogram = 2.205 pounds

37.09706kg =

37.09706kg × 2.205 pounds

= 81.7990173 lbs

Since the full capacity = 9000 lbs

The fuel used = 9000 - 81.7990173 lbs

= 8918.2009827 lbs

Hence, fuel consumption is

Distance/ amount of fuel used

25012/8918.2009827 lbs = 2.8046015164 miles/lb of fuel

Approximately = 2.8 miles/Ib of fuel

Which are the solutions of x2 = -5x + 8?
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

1.27, -6.27 to the nearest hundredth,

or if you require it in exact form,

-2.5 + √14.25,   -2.5 - √14.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 = -5x + 8

x^2 + 5x  = 8

Competing the square:

(x + 2.5)^2 - 6.25 = 8

(x + 2.5) = 14.25

x + 2.5 = +/-√14.25

x = -2.5 + √14.25,   -2.5 - √14.25

x = -2.5 + 3.77,  -2.5 - 3.77

= 1.27, -6.27.
