The 40th parallel of north latitude runs across the United States through Philadelphia, Indianapolis, and Denver. At this latitu

de, Earth’s radius is about 3030 miles. The earth rotates with an angular velocity of LaTeX: \frac{\pi}{12} π 12 radians (or 15°) per hour toward the east. If a jet flies due west with the same angular velocity relative to the ground at the equinox, the Sun as viewed from the jet will stop in the sky. How fast in miles per hour would the jet have to travel west at the 40th parallel for this to happen? Show your work and explain your process.

Answer:

793.25 mi/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The radius of the earth is = 3030 miles

The angular velocity = \dfrac{\pi}{12} rads

If a jet flies due west with the same angular velocity relative to the ground at the equinox;

We are  to determine the How fast in miles per hour would the jet have to travel west at the 40th parallel for this to happen.

NOW;

Distance s is expressed by the relation

s = rθ

s = 3030(\frac{\pi}{12} )

s = 793.25

The speed which depicts how fast in miles per hour the jet would have traveled is :

speed (v) = \frac{s}{t}

v = \frac{793.25}{1}

v = 793.25 mi/hr

Hence, the jet would have traveled 793.25 mi/hr due west at the  40th parallel for this to happen.

How many solutions does the equation 9x +3=9x + 5 have?
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

none

Step-by-step explanation:

Because X has the same coefficient on both sides but a different value is being added to it, there cannot be an solution.

9x+3=9x+5

-9x -5

-2=0, which doesnt work so theres no solution

nydimaria [60]
The volume of the box when it's filled to 3 inches deep is 12×8×3 = 288 in³

The box is filled up to 1.5 inches from the top, that means the box is filled only
3-1.5 = 1.5 inches deep

The volume of the box when it's filled to 1.5 inches deep is 12×8×1.5 = 144 in³

The number of flours saved is 288 - 144 = 144 in³
