consider the west direction as positive direction of motion

V' = velocity of airplane relative to observer on ground = 580 mph

v = velocity of wind relative to observer on ground

V = average speed of airplane with no wind = 600 mph

relative velocity is given as

V' = V + v

inserting the values

580 = 600 + v

v = 580 - 600

v = - 20 mph

the negative sign indicates the direction of wind is opposite to direction of airplane , east

hence speed of wind is 20 mph in east direction.

Velocity of airplane without any wind

v_1 = 600 mph

now when air is blowing with some speed then the net speed is observed by the observer

v_{net} = 580 mph

now we will have

v_{net} = v_1 - v_w

wind speed here is given as v_w

now here we will have

580 = 600 - v_w

v_w = 20 mph

so wind speed will have 20 mph

9. Know the three types of muscles, their shape, and where they are located.
KatRina [158]
Cardiac, smooth, and skeletal. cardiac muscle cells are located in the walls of the heart and appear striated and are under involuntary control. smooth muscle fibers are located in walls of hollow visceral organs except the heart they also appear striated. skeleton muscle is found between bones and uses tendons to connect to the epimysium to the periosteum, or the outer covering of bone. skeletal muscle is shaped and adapted in many ways.

How much is the velocity of a body when it travels 600m in 5 minutes?​
maks197457 [2]

answer

so unit of velocity is m/s

displacement=600m

5minutes should be converted to seconds

5×60=300 seconds

so,

velocity= displacement÷time

= 600m ÷300s

=2m/s or 2ms^-1

Name five characteristics of a star that can be determined by measuring its spectrum. Explain how you would use a spectrum to de
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Chemical composition, Temperature, Radial velocity, Size or diameter of the star, Rotation.

Explanation:  

Elemental abundances are determined by analyzing the relative strengths of the absorption lines in the spectrum of a star.

The Spectral class to which the star belongs gives the information related to the temperature of the star. It is the spectral lines that determine the spectral class O B A F G K M are the spectral classes.

By measuring the wavelengths of the lines in the star's spectrum gives the radial velocity. Doppler shift is the method used to find the radial velocity.

A star can be classified as a giant or a dwarf . A giant star will have narrow width spectral lines whereas a dwarf star has wider spectral lines.

Broadening of the spectral lines will determine the star's rotation.
