Answer:
70.5 mph
Explanation:
A passenger jet travels from Los Angeles to Bombay, India, in 22h.
The return flight takes 17 h.
The difference in flight times is caused by winds over the Pacific Ocean that
blow primarily from west to east.
If the jet's average speed in still air is 550 mi/h what is the average speed
of the wind during the round trip flight? Round to the nearest mile per hour.
Is your answer reasonable?
:
Let w = speed of the wind
:
Write a distance equation (dist is the same both ways
17(550+w) = 22(550-w)
9350 + 17w = 12100 - 22w
17w + 22w = 12100 - 9350
39w = 2750
W = 2750/39
w = 70.5 mph seems very reasonable
:
Confirming if the solution by finding the distances using these value
17(550+70.5) = 10549 mi
22(550-70.5) = 10549 mi; confirms our solution of w = 70.5 mph
Answer:
The work done by the bird is 0.762 J
Explanation:
Given;
force applied by the bird, f = 10 N
distance the bird moved the worm, d = 3 inches = 0.0762 m
The work done by the bird is given by;
W = F x d
where;
W is the work done by the bird
d is the distance the bird moved the load
Substitute the given values and estimate the work done by the bird;
W = 10 x 0.0762
W = 0.762 J
Therefore, the work done by the bird is 0.762 J
No, you are at a constant rate which means that you are always at 40mph
Answer:
is the same
Explanation:
Half life is define as the time it take for fifty percentage of a radioactive material to disintegrate. After the first half-life passes, half (fifty percentage) of the remaining radioactive material will disintegrate in the next half-life. Then, half of that amount in turn disintegrate in the following half-life and the halving continues.
