tourist travels 1500 miles using two planes. The second plane averages 50 miles per hour faster than the first plane. The touris

t uses the slower plane for the first 500 and the faster plane for the next 1000 miles. The total flying time is 6.5 hours. What is the speed of the first plane?

Answer:

V₁ = 200 mi/h

Explanation:

To do this, we need to analyze the given data.

We have a total distance and time of 1500 mi and 6.5 h. We also know that the second plane goes 50 mi/h faster than the first plane, (V₂ = V₁ + 50). The firsts 500 miles were on the first plane and the remaining 1000 mi with the second plane.

Using the expression of distance, and assuming a constant speed in both planes we have:

d = V * t   (1)

Replacing this expression for both planes we have:

d₁ = V₁ * t₁

d₂ = (V₁+50) * t₂

WE are missing several data, because we do not know the times for each plane, but we can have a clue.

The total time of flight was 6.5 h, this is equivalent to just sum both times of both planes, so:

t = t₁ + t₂   (3)

From the expressions of distance for both planes, we can solve for time, and then replace in the above expression of the total time. In that way we can solve for the speed of the plane. Let's solve for both times in the planes:

t₁ = d₁ / V₁ = 500/V₁    (4)

t₂ = d₂ / V₁+50 = 1000/ V₁ + 50   (5)

Now, all we have to do is replace (4) and (5) into (3) and solve for V₁:

6.5 = [(500/V₁) + (1000/V₁ + 50)

6.5 = [500*(V₁+50) + 1000V₁ / V₁(V₁+50)]

6.5 = [500V₁ + 25000 + 1000V₁ / V₁² + 50V₁

6.5(V₁² + 50V₁) = 1500V₁ + 25000

6.5V₁² + 325V₁ - 1500V₁ - 25000 = 0

6.5V₁² - 1175V₁ - 25000 = 0

From here, we use the quadratic equation to solve for V₁:

X = 1175 ± √(1175)² + 4 * 6.5 * 25000 / 2 * 6.5

X = 1175 ± √1380625 + 650000 / 13

X = 1175 ± 1425 / 13

X₁ = 1175 + 1425 / 13 = 200

X₂ = 1175 - 1425 / 13 = -19.23

So, it's very clear that the speed cannot be negative, so we stick with the first value. Therefore the speed pf the first plane is:

<h2>V₁ = 200 mi/h</h2><h2>V₂ = 250 mi/h</h2>

Hope this helps

Two trumpet players are trying to tune their instruments. When they are in tune, they will both be playing the same note and no
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

The second trumpeter will be playing at frequency = 515 Hz

Explanation: Given that the note sounds lower and they can hear 20 beats in 4.0 s. 

Beat frequency = 20/4 = 5 Hz

Beat frequency = F2 - F1

5 = 520 - F1

F1 = 520 - 5

F1 = 515 Hz

Since the note sound lower, the second trumpeter will be playing at 515 Hz frequency

6. Draw a velocity-time graph for an object originally traveling at -3 m/s. The object
faltersainse [42]

See the graph in attachment

Explanation:

In this problem we have to draw a velocity-time graph for an object travelling initially at -3 m/s, then slowing down and turning around.

In the graph, we see that the initial velocity at time t = 0 is

v_0 = -3 m/s

and it is negative, so below the x-axis.

Later, the object slows down: this means that the magnitude of its velocity increases, therefore (since the velocity is negative) the curve must go upward, approaching and reaching the x-axis (which corresponds to zero velocity).

After that, the object's velocity keep increasing, but now it is positive: this means that the object is travelling in a direction opposite to the initial direction, so it has turned around.
