An airplane encountered a head wind during a flight between Joppetown and Jawsburgh which took 5 hours and 30 minutes. The retur

n flight took 5 hours. If the distance from Joppetown to Jawsburgh is 2700 ​miles, find the airspeed of the plane​ (the speed of the plane in still​ air) and the speed of the​ wind, assuming both remain constant.

Answer: a) 490.91 mph

b) 540 mph

c) speed of the​ wind = 49.1 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that flight between Joppetown and Jawsburgh took 5 hours and 30 minutes.

Time t = 5.5hours

Distance = 2700 miles

Speed = distance/ time

Speed = 2700/5.5

Speed = 490.91 mph

The return flight took 5 hours of the same distance from = 2700 ​miles

Speed = 2700/5 = 540 mph

speed of the​ wind = the difference in the two speed

speed of the​ wind = 450 - 490.91

speed of the​ wind = 49.1 mph

Speed = 540m/s

How do i solve y+4=4/3(x+1)
ICE Princess25 [194]
Y + 4 = 4/3(x + 1)...first we distribute
y + 4 = 4/3x + 4/3 ...now we subtract 4 from both sides
y = 4/3x + 4/3 - 4
y = 4/3x + 4/3 - 12/3
y = 4/3x - 8/3 <======
u will have a slope of 4/3....and a  y int of (0,-8/3)...ur x int is (2,0)

in standard form, it is :
y = 4/3x - 8/3
-4/3x + y = -8/3
4x - 3y = 8....in case u need to find some points to graph

A Ferris wheel rotates 9π/8 radians prior to making a stop. The total height of the Ferris wheel is 246 ft. How far around did t
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The ferris wheel travelled 434.717 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the ferris wheel is a perfect circle, then it's height is the same as the diameter of the circle, therefore it's radius is:

radius = height/2 = 246/2 = 123 ft

The distance travelled by the ferris wheel is the same as the length of the arc created by a angle of (9pi/8). The length of an arc is given by:

length = r*(angle in radians)

length = 123*(9pi/8)

length = 434.717 ft

The ferris wheel travelled 434.717 ft.
