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

1. An object is projected upward with a velocity of 125 m/s.
grigory [225]

Answer:

A) s = 796.38 m

B) t = 12.742 s

C) T = 25.484 s

Explanation:

A) First of all let's find the time it takes to get to maximum height using Newton's first equation of motion.

v = u + gt

u = 125 m/s

v = 0 m/s

g = 9.81 m/s²

Thus;

0 = 125 - 9.81(t)

g is negative because motion is against gravity. Thus;

9.81t = 125

t = 125/9.81

t = 12.742 s

Max height will be gotten from Newton's 2nd equation of motion;

s = ut + ½gt²

s = (125 × 12.742) + (½ × -9.81 × 12.742²)

s = 1592.75 - 796.37

s = 796.38 m

B) time to reach maximum height is;

t = u/g

t = 125/9.81

t = 12.742 s

C) Total time elapsed is;

T = 2u/g

T = 2 × 125/9.81

T = 25.484 s

Describe each of the following as a physical or chemical property. a. Neon is a colorless gas at room temperature.b. Apple slice
Cloud [144]

Answer: Neon is a colorless gas at room temperature: Physical property

At room temperature, mercury is a liquid: Physical property

Apple slices turn brown when exposed to air: Chemical property

Phosphorus will ignite when exposed to air: Chemical property

Explanation:

Physical property is defined as the property of a substance which becomes evident during physical change in which there is alteration in shape, size etc. No new substance gets formed during physical change.

Example:  Neon is a colorless gas at room temperature

At room temperature, mercury is a liquid.

Chemical property is defined as the property of a substance which becomes evident during chemical change in which a change in chemical composition takes place. A new substance is formed in these reactions.

Example: Apple slices turn brown when exposed to air: It undergoes oxidation which is a chemical change

Phosphorus will ignite when exposed to air: It undergoes oxidation which is a chemical change
