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.

Which best describes the ages of the rocks on opposite sides of and the same distance from, A Seafloor spreading center?
Genrish500 [490]

Answer;

-The rocks are the same age

Explanation;

Seafloor spreading is the process by which the seafloor moves apart at mid-ocean ridges.  Divergent seafloor spreading occurs at this type of plate boundary.

Seafloor spreading and other tectonic activity processes are the result of mantle convection. Seafloor spreading occurs at divergent plate boundaries. As tectonic plates slowly move away from each other, heat from the mantle’s convection currents makes the crust more plastic and less dense.

The microwaves in a certain microwave oven have a wavelength of 12.2 cm. How wide must this oven be so that it will contain five
leva [86]

Answer:

a

 l = 0.305 \  m

b

  f = 3.0*10^{11} \  Hz

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  wavelength is  \lambda  =  12.2 \  cm  = 0.122 \  m

  The  number of antinodal planes of the electric field considered is n  =  5

The  width is mathematically represented as

       l  =  \frac{ n \lambda}{2}

       l = \frac{5 * 0.122 }{ 2}

      l = 0.305 \  m

Generally the  frequency the errors was made is  mathematically represented as

   f =  \frac{c}{\lamda_k}

Here c is the speed of light with value  c =  3.0*10^{8} \  m/s

     \lambda_k is the wavelength of the microwave has to be in order for there still to be five antinodal planes of the electric field along the width of the oven, which is mathematically represented as

     \lambda_k  =  \frac{ \lambda *  \frac{0.04}{2} }{n/2}

      \lambda_k  =  \frac{0.122*0.02}{5/2}

So

   f =  \frac{3.0*10^{8}}{0.000976}

    f = 3.0*10^{11} \  Hz

44. ( John weighs 80 kg, and eats a 1,000 J candy bar. If his
Darina [25.2K]

John can run with the velocity of 5 m/s

Explanation:

  • Kinetic energy is defined as the energy is being used to do an activity, basically energy associated with the motion of objects in the universe.
  • The formula used to find the kinetic energy of an object is k = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2} where as k represented as kinetic energy, m is the mass of the object and v is the velocity of the given object.
  • Here, to find the answer we have to re-write the equation as v = \sqrt[2]{\frac{2 k}{m} }
  • Given, the mass of the object, here it is John = 80 kg, energy needs to be converted to kinetic energy, k = 1000  J.
  • Hence, substitute all the values, then you would velocity as 5 m/s
