Answer:

7,166 hrs =430  minutes

Explanation:

Since both train are on the same track, going one towards the other, the relative speed is the addition of both, then the time they need to meet, and consistently crash, is the time that (65mph + 55 mph)=120mph need to travel the total distance of 860 miles, of course in this case one part is traveled by the first train and the rest by the other. Then to find the time we use a three rule

1 h --->120mi

X ---->860mi, then X=(860 mi* 1h)/120 mi = 43/6 hrs= 7,16666 hrs, turning this into minutes need that we notice 1h=60min, then 43/6 hrs *60 min/hrs = 430 minutes.

An airplane is traveling due east with a velocity of 7.5 × 102 kilometers/hour. There is a tailwind of 30 kilometers/hour. What
Delvig [45]
A tailwind means you add thed velocity of the tailwind to the velovity of the plane (no need for any vectors etc. so you just need (7.5x 102 ) +30 then convert it so it like one of the answers (btw - none of the answers is exactly correct - you need to round to get it) thats what you need to do to get the question
