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

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.

Explanation:

I will do two of each as examples.

Boyle's law says that at constant temperature, the product of the initial pressure and volume equals the product of the final pressure and volume.

1. P₁ V₁ = P₂ V₂

(1.5 atm) (10.0 L) = (0.75 atm) V

V = 20.0 L

2. P₁ V₁ = P₂ V₂

(100.0 kPa) (500.0 mL) = P (1,000.0 mL)

P = 50.0 kPa

Charles' law says that at constant pressure, the quotient of the initial volume and temperature equals the quotient of the final volume and temperature.

6. V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂

(10.0 L) / (1500 K) = V / (750 K)

V = 5.0 L

7. V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂

(500.0 mL) / (100 K) = (1000.0 mL) / T

T = 200 K

A hungry rat is placed in a maze. It walks the following path to find a piece of cheese. 4.0m N, 7.5 m E, 6.8 m S, 3.7 m E, 3.6
storchak [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall take the help of vector form of displacement . Taking east as i and north as j

4.0m N = 4 j

7.5 m E = 7.5 i

6.8 m S = - 6.8 j

3.7 m E, = 3.7 i

3.6 m S = - 3.6 j

5.3 m W = - 5.3 i

3.7 m N, = 3.7 j

5.6 m W = - 5.6 i

4.4 m S = - 4.4 j

4.9 m W = -  4.9 i

Total displacement = 4j +7.5 i -6.8j+3.7i-3.6j-5.3i+3.7j-5.6i-4.4j-4.9i

= -4.6 i -7.1 j

magnitude of displacement = \sqrt{(4.6^2+7.1^2)}

= 8.46 m

Direction

Tanθ = 7.1/ 4.6

θ = 57⁰ south of west .

distance walked = 4+7.5 +6.8+3.7+3.6+5.3+3.7+5.6+4.4+4.9

= 49.5 m
