A passenger jet travels from Los angles to Bombay, India, in 22 h. The return flight takes 17 h. The difference in flight times

is caused by winds over the Pacific Ocean that blows primarily from west to east. If the jet’s speed is 550 m/h, what is the speed of the wind during the round-trip flight?

Answer:

70.5 mph

Explanation:

A passenger jet travels from Los Angeles to Bombay, India, in 22h.

The return flight takes 17 h.

The difference in flight times is caused by winds over the Pacific Ocean that

blow primarily from west to east.

If the jet's average speed in still air is 550 mi/h what is the average speed

of the wind during the round trip flight? Round to the nearest mile per hour.

Is your answer reasonable?

:

Let w = speed of the wind

:

Write a distance equation (dist is the same both ways

17(550+w) = 22(550-w)

9350 + 17w = 12100 - 22w

17w + 22w = 12100 - 9350

39w = 2750

W = 2750/39

w = 70.5 mph seems very reasonable

:

Confirming if the solution by finding the distances using these value

17(550+70.5) = 10549 mi

22(550-70.5) = 10549 mi; confirms our solution of w = 70.5 mph

An elevator of massmis initially at rest onthe first floor of a building. It moves upward,and passes the second and third floors
Varvara68 [4.7K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts of Work. Work is understood as the force applied to travel a determined distance, in this case the height. The force in turn can be expressed by Newton's second law as the ratio between mass and gravity, as well

W = mgh

Where,

m = mass

h = height

g = Gravitational constant

When it ascends to the second floor it has traveled the energy necessary to climb a height, under this logic, until the 4 floor has traveled 3 times the height h of each of the floors therefore

h = 3h

Replacing in our equation we have to

W = mgh\\W = mg(3h)\\W = 3mgh

The correct answer is 4.

A tennis ball with a velocity of +10.0 m/s to the right is thrown perpendicularly at a wall. After striking the wall, the ball r
netineya [11]

Answer:

-1500 m/s2

Explanation:

So the ball velocity changes from 10m/s into the wall to -8m/s in a totally opposite direction within a time span of 0.012s. Then we can calculate the average acceleration of the ball as the change in velocity over a unit of time.

a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} = \frac{-8 - 10}{0.012} = \frac{-18}{0.012} = -1500 m/s^2

An object of mass 30 kg is in free fall in a vacuum where there is no air resistance. Determine the acceleration of the object.
velikii [3]

Answer:

In free fall, mass is not relevant and there's no air resistance, so the acceleration the object is experimenting will be equal to the gravity exerted. If the object is falling on our planet, the value of gravity is approximately 9.81ms2 .
