Answer:

B).315mph

Explanation:

Let the speed of the plane = p

Let the speed of the wind = w

Set up the system equation as;

                                     Relative V:               Time:                          Distance:

in wind direction:          p + w                         2                                  700

against wind:                 p - w                         2.5                                700

2(p + w) = 700

2.5(p - w) = 700

2p + 2w = 700

2.5p - 2.5w = 700

2.5  x:     5p + 5w = 1750

2  x:        5p - 5w = 1400

10p = 3150

p = 315 mph

Therefore, he speed of the plane in still air is 315 mph

Tanya [424]

Answer:

a) 5.5×10^17 Hz

b) visible light

Explanation:

Since the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation must be about the size of the about itself, this implies that;

λ= 5.5 × 10^-10 m

Since;

c= λ f and c= 3×10^8 ms-1

f= c/λ

f= 3×10^8/5.5 × 10^-10

f= 5.5×10^17 Hz

The electromagnetic wave is visible light

A cartoon shows two friends watching an unoccupied car in free fall after it has rolled off a diff. One friend says to the other
olga55 [171]

Answer:

The statement is not correct.

Explanation:

To know if the statement is correct, we shall determine the velocity of the car after 3 s. This is illustrated below.

Data obtained from the question include:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) = 3 s

Final velocity (v) =?

v = u + gt

v = 0 + (9.8 × 3)

v = 0 + 29.4

v = 29.4 m/s

Thus, the velocity of the car after 3 s is 29.4 m/s.

Hence, the statement made by the friend is not correct as the car has a falling velocity of 29.4 m/s after 3 s.

The first and second coils have the same length, and the third and fourth coils have the same length. They differ only in the cr
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

The ratio of the resistances of second coil to the first coil is the ratio of square of radius of the first coil to the square of radius of  second coil.

And

The ratio of the resistances of fourth coil to the third coil is the ratio of square of radius of the third coil to the square of radius of  fourth coil.

Explanation:

The resistance of the coil is directly proportional to the length of the coil and inversely proportional to the area of coil and hence inversely proportional to the square of radius of the coil.

So, the ratio of the resistances of second coil to the first coil is the ratio of square of radius of the first coil to the square of radius of  second coil.

And

The ratio of the resistances of fourth coil to the third coil is the ratio of square of radius of the third coil to the square of radius of  fourth coil.

A scientist heats flexible container full of neon gas .what will most likely happen to the container as the gas absorbs heat
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
As the container starts to heat up, so will the neon gas. Heat is nothing but energy, and when you add energy to a gas, it will start vibrating much faster and hit the edges of the container at a higher rate and a faster velocity. Therefore, it's possible to deduce that the container will most likely rupture and/or "explode".
