Answer:

55 mph

Explanation:

Distance = speed × time, so time = distance / speed.

If x is the speed of the wind, then:

220 / (385 + x) = 165 / (385 − x)

Cross multiply:

220 (385 − x) = 165 (385 + x)

Distribute:

84,700 − 220 x = 63,525 + 165 x

Combine like terms:

21,175 = 385 x

Solve for x:

x = 55

The speed of the wind is 55 mph.

Stand next to a wall that travels at 30 km/s relative to the Sun. With your feet on the ground, you also travel at the same 30 k
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Yes. Inertia keeps the speed maintained though my feet leave the ground.

Explanation:

Inertia is the resistance to the change in position of any object this means this resistance will keep me traveling at 30 km/s relative to the sun. If the person wants to change the position we apply force to do that because inertia is opposing us to not do that. We are always traveling with 30km/s relative to sun due to inertia.
