Answer:

2 miles

Explanation:

Jimmy walked forward 3 miles east (to the right)

Then, he backtracked and walked 1 mile west (to the left)

This can be written as:

3 - 1 = ?

3 - 1 = 2

Therefore, Jimmy traveled a total of 2 miles.

An airplane wing is designed so that the speed of the air across the top of the wing is 255 m/s when the speed of the air below

<h2>Answer:442758.96N</h2>

Explanation:

This problem is solved using Bernoulli's equation.

Let $P$ be the pressure at a point.

Let $p$ be the density fluid at a point.

Let $v$ be the velocity of fluid at a point.

Bernoulli's equation states that $P+\frac{1}{2}pv^{2}+pgh=constant$ for all points.

Lets apply the equation of a point just above the wing and to point just below the wing.

Let $p_{up}$ be the pressure of a point just above the wing.

Let $p_{do}$ be the pressure of a point just below the wing.

Since the aeroplane wing is flat,the heights of both the points are same.

$\frac{1}{2}(1.29)(255)^{2}+p_{up}= \frac{1}{2}(1.29)(199)^{2}+p_{do}$

So, $p_{up}-p_{do}=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.29\times (25424)=16398.48Pa$

Force is given by the product of pressure difference and area.

Given that area is $27ms^{2}$ .

So,lifting force is $16398.48\times 27=442758.96N$

A boy standing on a bridge above a river throws stone A vertically upward with an initial velocity =15m/s.2 seconds later he dro

Anastaziya [24]

I'm not sure if this is correct but it's what I'll do

This is free-fall problem.
Stone A is thrown upward, at the point it falls down to the place where it was thrown, the velocity is -15m/s.

Now I choose the bridge is the origin. From the bridge, stone A and B fall the same distance which means Ya = Yb ( vertical distance )

Ya = Vo(t + 2) + 1/2a(t+2)^2
= -15(t + 2) + 1/2(9.8)(t^2 + 4t + 4)
= -15t - 30 + 4.5(t^2 + 4t + 4)
= -15t - 30 + 4.5t^2 + 18t + 18
= 4.5t^2 +3t - 12

Yb = Vo(t) + 1/2a(t)^2
= 0 + 4.5t^2

4.5t^2 = 4.5t^2 +3t - 12
0 = 3t - 12
4 = t

Time for Stone B is 4s
Time for Stone A is 6s
