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.

Which of the following are inertial reference frames? A. A car driving at steady speed on a straight and level road. B. A car dr
Aloiza [94]

Answers:

A. A car driving at steady speed on a straight and level road.

B. A car driving at steady speed up a 10∘ incline.

Explanation:

An object is said to be in an inertial reference frame if the net force acting on the object is zero. According to Newton's second law, this also means that the acceleration of the object is also zero:

F=ma

Since F=0, a=0 as well.

Let's now analyze each case.

A. A car driving at steady speed on a straight and level road. --> YES: this is an inertial reference frame, because the car is keeping a constant speed and a constant direction, so its velocity is not changing, and its acceleration is zero.

B. A car driving at steady speed up a 10∘ incline. --> YES: this is an inertial reference frame, because the car is keeping a constant speed and a constant direction, so its velocity is not changing, and its acceleration is zero.

C. A car speeding up after leaving a stop sign. --> NO: this is not an intertial reference frame, because the car is speeding up, so it is accelerating.

D. A car driving at steady speed around a curve. --> NO: this is not an inertial reference frame, because the car is changing direction, therefore its velocity is changing and so the car is accelerating.

So the only two choices which are correct are A and B.

What is the acceleration of a ball traveling horizontally with an initial velocity of 20 meters/second and, 2.0 seconds later, a
Nutka1998 [239]

The acceleration of the ball is 5 m/s^2. This can be calculated using a formula that relates the change in velocity, acceleration, and time. This formula is:

Vf = Vi + at

where:
Vf = final velocity
Vi = initial velocity
a = acceleration
t = time

Substituting the values gives:

30 = 20 + a(2)
<span>a = 5 m/s^2 --> Final Answer</span>
