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

Define resistance and describe what would happen to a light bulb if the voltage increased but the resistance stayed the same. Re
Anarel [89]

Answer:

The light bulb would glow brighter.

Explanation:

Resistance is the opposition to current flow and in Ohm's law is represented as a constant in the equation V = IR with V the voltage, I the current and R the resistance.

Now let's assume we are in a series circuit that has only one path for electricity to follow to better explain what would happen to a light bulb if the voltage increased but the resistance stayed the same. Based on ohm's law equation, the voltage is directly proportional to the current and the resistance is constant. An increase in the voltage is therefore an increase in the current  which flows throught the light bulb making it glow brighter while a decrease in voltage results in a decrease in current flowing through the light bulb making it dim.

Does the mass of a pendulum affects the period of oscillation
pshichka [43]
Mass does not affect the pendulum's swing. The longer the length of string, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period, or back and forth swing of the pendulum. The greater the amplitude, or angle, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period.
