A man flies a small airplane from Fargo to Bismarck, North Dakota --- a distance of 180 miles. Because he is flying into a head

wind, the trip takes him 2 hours. On the way back, the wind is still blowing at the same speed, so the return trip takes only .9 hours. What is the plane's speed in still air, and how fast is the wind blowing?

Answer:

90 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate speed, distance, or time using the formula d = st, distance equals speed times time. The Speed Distance Time Calculator can solve for the unknown sdt value given two known values.

Time can be entered or solved for in units of seconds (s), minutes (min), hours (hr), or hours and minutes and seconds (hh:mm:ss).  

To solve for distance use the formula for distance d = st, or distance equals speed times time.

distance = speed x time

Rate and speed are similar since they both represent some distance per unit time like miles per hour or kilometers per hour. If rate r is the same as speed s, r = s = d/t. You can use the equivalent formula d = rt which means distance equals rate times time.

distance = rate x time

To solve for speed or rate use the formula for speed, s = d/t which means speed equals distance divided by time.

speed = distance/time

To solve for time use the formula for time, t = d/s which means time equals distance divided by speed.

time = distance/speed

Plane speed in still air: 120mph

Wind speed: 30pmh

Speed of plane to Bismarck: 90mph

Speed of plane to Fargo: 150mph

Two balls A and B rotate along a circular track. Ball A makes 4 full rotations in 120 seconds. Ball B makes 3 full rotation in 6
lara [203]
Find the rate in which both balls make one full rotation around the track.

Ball A:

120 / 4 = 30

It takes 30 seconds for Ball A to make a full rotation.

Ball B:

60 / 3 = 20

It takes 20 seconds for Ball B to make a full rotation.

Find the least common multiple of 20 and 30 to find the time at which they'll meet.

Multiples of 20: {20,40,60}
Multiples of 30: {30,60}

60 is the least common multiple of both 20 and 30.

The balls will meet again at 60 seconds.

A pump fills a pool at the rate of 20 cubic meters in an hour. If each cubic meter of water costs $10, how many minutes will the
fomenos

The first thing any good mathematician does is convert the measurements to the same unit as what the question is asking. In this problem, it states that the pool fills at a rate of 20 cubic meters per hour. Just keep in mind that an hour is 60 minutes.

The next step is to see how many cubic meters will cost $300. This can be done by dividing 300 by 10. This gets you 30 cubic meters of water.

You already know that 60 minutes is 20 cubic meters of water. That leaves the remaining 10 cubic meters of water. By dividing the rate given, you get that 30 minutes is 10 cubic meters of water. Add the 60 and 30 together to get 90 minutes.

It will take 90 minutes for the pump to use $300.

Amelia launched her science fair rocket, and then backed away. The path of the rocket is given by the equation below, where y is
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

1)The rocket hit the ground at     x = \frac{5}{4}

2)The maximum height of the rocket = 12.468 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>

Given equation  

                y = -2 x² + 5 x + 7 ...(i)

Differentiating equation (i) with respective to 'x' , we get

             \frac{dy}{dx} = -2( 2x) +5(1) =  -4x +5

Equating zero

            \frac{dy}{dx} = 0

⇒      -4 x +5 =0

⇒      -4 x = -5

⇒          x = \frac{5}{4}

<em> The rocket hit the ground at     </em>x = \frac{5}{4}<em></em>

<u><em>Step(ii):</em></u>-

    \frac{dy}{dx}  =  -4x +5  ...(ii)

Again differentiating equation (ii) with respective to 'x' , we get

 \frac{d^{2} y}{dx^{2} }  = - 4(1)

The maximum height at x = \frac{-5}{4}

  y = -2 x² + 5 x + 7

 y = -2 (\frac{5}{4})^{2}  + 5 (\frac{5}{4} )  + 7

y = \frac{-2(25)+ 25 (16)+7(64)}{64}

y = \frac{798}{64} = 12.468 feet

<em>The maximum height of the rocket = 12.468 feet</em>
