1 pound ≈ 0.4536 kg
170 pounds ≈ 170 * 0.4536 kg
≈ 77.112 kg
Wow, this is a good question. I'm going to go with B, it increases. Thanks! You strained my brain! :D
Velocity of the plane relative to the air = +400.0 m/s
Velocity of the air relative to the ground = -35.0 m/s (negative because it's moving opposite to the eastward direction)
Velocity of the plane relative to the ground = (velocity of the plane relative to the air) + (velocity of the air relative to the ground) = 365.0 m/s to the east
Answer:
B
Explanation:
This looks like a momentum question. It also looks like there is no horizontal acceleration.
Momentum before Momentum after
m1vo (m1 + m2)*vo/3 multiply through by 3
3 m1*vo m1* vo + m2*vo subtract m1*vo from both sides
3m1*vo - m1*vo m2*vo
2m1*vo m2*vo Divide by vo
2m1 = m2
Conclusion: It takes 2 m1's to equal 1 m2.
B is the answer.
