At maximum speed an airplane travels 1720 miles against the wind in 5 hours. Flying with the wind, the plane can travel the same

distance in 4 hours. Let X be the maximum speed of the plane and Y be the speed of the wind. What is the speed of the plane with no wind?

An airplane at a maximum speed of 1720 miles against the wind for 5 hours so wha could be the speed of the plane with no wind if the wind could fly the plane with the same distance for 4 hrs and i think the best answer to this problem is 387 and i hope your satisfied with my answer.

Answer:

387 miles / hour

Explanation:

X be the maximum speed of plane and Y be the speed of wind.

Speed is the ratio of distance traveled to the time taken by the body.

When the plane travels against the wind, the speed of the plane is X - Y and when the plane is moving with the wind the speed is X + Y.

According to the formula

$speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

$X - Y = \frac{1720}{5}$

X - Y = 344 ....(1)

And

$X + Y = \frac{1720}{4}$

X - Y = 430 ......(2)

Adding both the equations,

2X = 774

X = 387 miles/hour

A sound source is moving at 80 m/s toward a stationary listener that is standing in still air (a) Find the wavelength of the sou

Setler [38]

Answer:

a. wavelength of the sound, $\vartheta = 1.315\vartheta_{o}$

b. observed frequecy, $\lambda = 0.7604\lambda_{o}$

Given:

speed of sound source, $v_{s}$ = 80 m/s

speed of sound in air or vacuum, $v_{a}$ = 343 m/s

speed of sound observed, $v_{o}$ = 0 m/s

Solution:

From the relation:

v = $\vartheta \lambda$ (1)

where

v = velocity of sound

$\vartheta$ = observed frequency of sound

$\lambda$ = wavelength

(a) The wavelength of the sound between source and the listener is given by:

$\lambda = \frac{v_{a}}{\vartheta }$ (2)

(b) The observed frequency is given by:

$\vartheta = \frac{v_{a}}{v_{a} - v_{s}}\vartheta_{o}$

$\vartheta = \frac{334}{334 - 80}\vartheta_{o}$

$\vartheta = 1.315\vartheta_{o}$ (3)

Using eqn (2) and (3):

$\lambda = \frac{334}{1.315} = \frac{1}{1.315}\frac{v_{a}}{\vartheta_{o}}$

$\lambda = 0.7604\lambda_{o}$

James rode his bike 0.65 hours and traveled 8.45 km. What was his speed?

maria [59]

Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

= ( 8.45 km) / (0.65 hr)

= (8.45 / 0.65) km/hr

= 13 km/hr

As an intern at an engineering firm, you are asked to measure the moment of inertia of a large wheel for rotation about an axis

klio [65]

Hi there!

We can begin by finding the acceleration of the block.

Use the kinematic equation:

$d = v_0t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

The block starts from rest, so:

$d = \frac{1}{2}at^2\\\\12 = \frac{1}{2}a(4^2)\\\\\frac{24}{16} = a = 1.5 m/s^2$

Now, we can do a summation of forces of the block using Newton's Second Law:

$F = ma = m_bg - T$

mb = mass of the block

T = tension of string

Solve for tension:

$T = m_bg - ma = 8.2(9.8) - 8.2(1.5) = 68.06 N$

Now, we can do a summation of torques for the wheel:

$\Sigma \tau = rF\\\\\Sigma\tau = rT$

Rewrite:

$I\alpha = rT$

We solved that the linear acceleration is 1.5 m/s², so we can solve for the angular acceleration using the following:

$\alpha = a/r\\\\\alpha = 1.5/.42= 3.57 rad/sec^2$

Now, plug in the values into the equation:

$I(3.57) = (0.42)(68.06)\\\\I = (0.42)(68.06)/(3.57) = \boxed{8.00 kgm^2}$
