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.

What is the smallest radius of an unbanked (flat) track around which a bicyclist can travel if her speed is 29.5 km/h and the μs
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Radius=15.773 m

Explanation:

Given data

v=29.5 km/h=8.2 m/s

μs=0.435

To find

Radius R

Solution

The acceleration is a centripetal acceleration  which is experienced by the bicycle given by

a=v^{2}/R

This acceleration is only due to static force which given as

f=ma\\f=m(v^{2}/R )

The maximum value of the static force is given as

Fs_{max}=u_{s}F_{N}

where

FN is normal force equal to mass*gravity

Therefore when the car is on the verge of sliding

f=fs_{max}\\ m(v^{2}/R )=u_{s}mg

Therefore the minimum radius should be found by the bicycle move without  sliding

So

v^{2}/R=u_{s}g\\  R=v^{2}/u_{s}g\\R=(8.2)^{2}/(0.435*9.8)\\R=15.773m
