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

Two equations for the constant of proportionality equal to 1/2
NemiM [27]

y=kx and y=\frac{k}{x} are two equations of constant of proportionality

Step-by-step explanation:

          There are two equations for the constant of proportionality. That is

                       (i) Direct proportion

                       (ii) Inverse proportion

          In direct proportion y=kx, Now

                  if x increases, then y also increases and if x decreases, then y also decreases. So, k is a constant proportionality.

         In Inverse proportion y=\frac{k}{x}, Now

                 if x increases then y decreases and if x decreases, then y increases and k is a constant proportionality.

         In direct proportion, we put y=1 and x=2, So k=\frac{1}{2}.

         So, the equations y=kx and y=\frac{k}{x} are two equations of constant of proportionality.

The circle below has center O, and its radius is 4 ft. Given that m ZAOB=50°find the length of the minor arc AB.
exis [7]

Answer:

The length of minor arc AB is \frac{10}{9} π  ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the length of an arc in a circle is L = \frac{\alpha }{360} × 2πr, where α is the central angle subtended by the arc, and r is the radius of the circle

∵ The radius of the circle is 4 ft

∴ r = 4

∵ ∠AOB is a central angle subtended by minor arc AB

∵ m∠AOB = 50°

∴ α = 50°

Substitute the values of r and α in the rule above

∵ L = \frac{50}{360} × 2π(4)

∴ L = \frac{10}{9} π

∴ The length of minor arc AB is \frac{10}{9} π  ft

Can you help me .....................?
aniked [119]

Answer:

11/18

Step-by-step explanation:

The desired probability is the sum of ...

... (probability of choosing a coin) × (p(heads) on that coin)

Since the coins are chosen at random, we assume the probability of choosing a given coin is 1/3. Then ...

... p(heads) = (1/3)·(1/2) + (1/3)·1 + (1/3)·(1/3) = 1/6 + 1/3 + 1/9 = (3 +6 + 2)/18

... p(heads) = 11/18
