A plane can fly at 385mph in still air. If it can fly 220 miles downwind in the same amount of time it can fly upwind at 165 mil

es, what is the velocity of the wind?

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.

As a train accelerates uniformly, it passes successive 5-kilometer markers while traveling at velocities 10 m/s and 25 m/s. what
gregori [183]
<span>122.0 km/hr. First let’s make sure all of our units are in the base meter form: i.e. convert 5km to 5000m. (We will convert back to km later). The first thing to do is look at the equation relating velocity, acceleration, and distance: Vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2*a*d, where Vf is final velocity, Vi is initial velocity, a is acceleration, and d is distance. 25^2 = 10^2 + 2*a*5000 =?> 625 = 100 +10000a => a= 0.0525m/s^2. Now that we have acceleration, we can use the same equation again with different numbers.: Vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2*a*d = 25^2 + 2*0. 0525m*5000 = 625 + 525 =1150 => Vf^2 = 1150 => 33.9m/s. Convert to km/hour: 33.9m/s * 1km/1000m *60s/1min * 60min/ 1 hr = 122.0 km/hr.</span>

Which of the following is a measurement of velocity?
Westkost [7]

Answer:

B) 55 m/h south

Explanation:

Velocity is the rate of displacement per unit of time.

It is mathematically expressed as:

   Velocity  = \frac{displacement}{time}  

Displacement is the distance covered by a body in a specific direction.

Velocity is different from speed in that it specifies the direction of a body as it travels.

Therefore, we say, velocity is a scalar quantity.

When we are giving velocity values, the unit is expressed with the direction also delineated.

From the given choices, the unit with the south direction and meter per hour is obviously correct.
