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.

A 5 N force is applied to a 3 kg ball to change its velocity from 9 m/s to 3 m/s. What is the impulse on the ball ?
nika2105 [10]
So, first the formula of Impulse is
I = force * time
We have force but no time.
Then, find time.
Next find acceleration,
F = mass * acceleration
5 = 3 * a
1.67 m/s^2
Next find time,
Acceleration = change in velocity / time
Change in velocity is velocity final - velocity initial
1.67 = 3 - 9 / time
Time = 3.6 s (round to 2 s.f.)
Lastly,
Impulse = force * time
Impulse = 5 * 3.6
Impulse is 18 Ns

When Emma pushes a bag with a force of 27 newtons, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the bag and the floor is 0.23. Wh
vichka [17]
<span>The normal force acting on the bag by the floor is calculated using th data on the force used to push the bag and the coefficient of friction between the bag and the floor. The normal force is determined through the formula Force / kin.coeff. Substituting, 27 N / 0.23 is equal to 117. 39 N. The answer is D.</span>

A model car moves round a circular path of radius 0.3m at 2 revolutions per secs what is its angular speed, the period of the ca
valkas [14]

Answer:

a) T = 0.5 s

b) v = 1.2π m/s ≈ 3.77 m/s

Explanation:

It makes two revolutions in one second so makes one revolution in ½ second

circumference of the circle is

C = 2πr = 0.6π m

which it traverses in one time period

0.6π m / 0.5 s = 1.2π m/s

If you are rowing a boat, you should be most concerned if you see a wave with which characteristic? help asap pls
3241004551 [841]
The best answer would be C. Amplitude is the measure of the distance between the crest and the center of the line, or the distance between the trough and the center of the line (like wave height). High waves are a sea danger, especially to small ships and rowboats.
