A man flies a small airplane from Fargo to Bismarck, North Dakota --- a distance of 180 miles. Because he is flying into a head

wind, the trip takes him 2 hours. On the way back, the wind is still blowing at the same speed, so the return trip takes only 1 hours. What is the plane's speed in still air, and how fast is the wind blowing?

Answer:

airplane speed 135mph windspeed 45 mph

Explanation:

This information helps us to write down a system of linear equations

When going head wind, the speed of the wind is substracted from that of the airplane and on the return trip it is added, then:

A:=Airlplane speed

W:= Wind speed

(A+W)*1h=180mi (1)

(A-W)*2h=180mi (2)

then from (1) A=180-W (3), replacing this in (2) we get (180-W-W)*2h =180mi, then

360-4W=180, or 180=4W, then W=45 mph. Replacing this in (3) we have that A=180-45=135 mph.

What are the starting materials for nuclear fission
aliina [53]
In normal fission reactors, the fuel used to start the nuclear fission is Uranium-235. 
Generally, fuel rods enriched with uranium-235 are used to start the fission. When a nucleus of uranium-235 absorbs a neutron, it becomes unstable and then it breaks apart, producing two smaller nuclei, several neutrons and energy. The additional neutrons produced in the reaction are then absorbed by other nuclei of uranium-235, triggering other fission reactions, and so on.

Pluto has been reassigned and is now a dwarf planet. Why did scientists think this reassignment was necessary? If you were a sci
kap26 [50]

Answer:

Explanation:

we humans have our own ify classification for celestial objects, most people are saddened that pluto is not a planet anymore altho it hasn't changed at all.

scientist say that if an object is going to be considered a planet it must fill in these three checkboxes:

You must be spherical, you must orbit a star, and you must have already cleared your path or debris.

Pluto fills in the first two boxes but it does orbit in the keyperbelt and there are 5 other objects just like it. this is why pluto has been dubbed a dwarf planet.

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

40 km/h

Explanation:

First...

Look at the formula speed is equal to the distance over time or s = d/t.

Next...

Use the formula: 240/6.0

Finally...

Solve: 40

So the answer: 40 km/h
