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.

Which type of reaction does this diagram represent?
Ugo [173]

The diagram represents a chain reaction that is caused by nuclear fission.

<h3>What is a nuclear fission reaction?</h3>

A nuclear fission reaction is a reaction in which the nucleus of a larger atom is split into two or more smaller nucleus of atoms.

Nuclear fission can proceed in the form of a chain reaction in which the products of the first fission reaction are used to initiate further fission reactions.

Therefore, the diagram represents a chain reaction that is caused by nuclear fission.

A 2.51 kg ball is attached to a ceiling by a 1.19 m long string. The height of the room is 3.45 m. The acceleration of gravity i
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

55,42 J

Explanation:

Since the height of the room is 3.45 m (distance between the floor and the ceiling) the difference between this value and the length of the rope 1.19 m; it will be equal to (3.45-1.19) =2.26 m. If we take as a reference point (Ep=0) the floor of the room, then the potential energy will be equal to Ep = M * g * h, replacing values in this equation (2.5 kg * 9.81 m/s2 * 2.26 m) will be 55,42 (N * m) or Jules.
