Matt and Anna Killian are frequent fliers on​ Fast-n-Go Airlines. They often fly between two cities that are a distance of 1575

miles apart. On one particular​ trip, they flew into the wind and the trip took 4.5 hours. The return trip with the wind behind​ them, only took about 3.5 hours. Find the speed of the wind and the speed of the plane in still air.

Answer:

Speed of wind = 50mi/hr, Speed of plane in still air = 400mi/hr

Explanation:

Let the speed of the wind = Vw,

Speed of the plane in still air = Vsa,

The first trip the average speed of the plane = 1575mi/4.5hours = 350mi/hr

The coming trip the wind behind = 1575mi/3.5hrs = 450

Write the motion in equation form

First trip ( the plane flew into the wind)

Vaverage = Vsa - Vw

350 = Vsa - Vw

Second trip the wind was behind

450 = Vsa +Vw

Adding the two equation

800 = 2Vas

Vas = 800/2 = 400mi/hr

Substitute for Vas into equation 1

350mi/hr = 400mi/hr - Vw

Vw = 400-350 = 50mi/hr

A mechanic has a wrench where the hand grip is 0.40 m from the axis of the bolt. To apply a torque of 170 N m with this wrench w
Grace [21]

Answer:

4.3 * 10 N

Explanation:

To calculate torque, we multiply the distance from the pivot by the perpendicular (the part of the force that acts at right angles to the displacement vector) component of the force to the displacement vector from the pivot.

torque  = distance from pivot *  perpendicular force

170 Nm= 0.4 m * F

F = 425 N = 4.3 * 10 N rounded off to two significant figures

A constant net force of 20 N is applied to a 32kg car, causing it to speed up from 4.0 to 9.0 m/s. How long is the force applied
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

8 seconds

Explanation:

From Newton's second law;

Ft = m(v-u)

F = Force applied

t = time taken

v = final velocity

u  = initial velocity

20 * t = 32 (9 - 4)

20t = 32 * 5

t = 32 * 5/ 20

t = 8 seconds
