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

Describe the phases of the moon along with a picture.​
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

The eight Moon phases:

Waxing Crescent: In the Northern Hemisphere, we see the waxing crescent phase as a thin crescent of light on the right. First Quarter: We see the first quarter phase as a half moon. Waxing Gibbous: The waxing gibbous phase is between a half moon and full moon.

The phases of the Moon are the different ways the Moon looks from Earth over about a month. As the Moon orbits around the Earth, the half of the Moon that faces the Sun will be lit up. The different shapes of the lit portion of the Moon that can be seen from Earth are known as phases of the Moon.

<h2>The 8 phases (in order) are:</h2>
  • New moon.
  • Waxing Crescent.
  • First Quarter.
  • Waxing Gibbous.
  • Full moon.
  • Waning Gibbous.
  • Third Quarter.
  • Waning Crescent.

An air-filled parallel-plate capacitor has plates of area 2.30 cm2 2 separated by 1.50 mm. The capacitor is connected to a 12.0-
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

1.357\times 10^{-12}

Explanation:

Relevant Data provided

Area which indicates A = 2.3 cm^2 = 2.3 x 10^-4 m^2

Distance which indicates d = 1.50 x 10^-3 m

Voltage which indicates V = 12 V

According to the requirement, the computation of value of its capacitance is shown below:-

Capacitance, C =  \frac{\epsilon oA}{D}

= \frac{= 8.854\times 10^{-12}\times 2.3\times 10^{-4}}{(1.5 \times 10^{-3})}

= 1.357\times 10^{-12}

Therefore for computing the capacitance we simply applied the above formula.
