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 3.30 x 10-2-kg block is resting on a horizontal frictionless surface and is attached to a horizontal spring whose spring const
avanturin [10]

Answer:

0.17547 m

Explanation:

m = Mass of block = 3.3\times 10^{-2}\ kg

v = Velocity of block = 10.8 m/s

k = Spring constant = 125 N/m

A = Amplitude

The kinetic energy of the system is conserved

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=\dfrac{1}{2}kA^2\\\Rightarrow \\\Rightarrow A=\sqrt{\dfrac{mv^2}{k}}\\\Rightarrow A=\sqrt{\dfrac{3.3\times 10^{-2}\times 10.8^2}{125}}\\\Rightarrow A=0.17547\ m

The amplitude of the resulting simple harmonic motion is 0.17547 m

who brought astronomy out of the dark ages by declaring: "finally we shall place the sun himself at the center of the universe.
solong [7]

Nicolaus Copernicus was the one who brought astronomy out of the dark ages.

In one of his books "On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Bodies", he published the renowned line which declares his theory.

Nicolaus Copernicus, A polish astronomer put forward the theory that the is th Sun one that rests in the middle or center of the Universe and the planet Earth revolves around it on its axis every day.which was considered to be called the Heliocentric system.
