A plane flies against the wind 288 miles from Los Angeles to San Jose and then returns home with the same wind. The wind speed is 60 mph. If the total flying time was 2 hours, what is the speed of the plane?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The speed of the airplane is 300 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let consider that plane travels at constant speed, which is the sum of the velocity of the plane in still air (velocity of the plane relative to wind) and the velocity of the wind. Hence, the total time spent by the plane is described by following kinematic formula:

[tex]t = s\cdot \left(\frac{1}{v_{P}-v_{W}}+\frac{1}{v_{P}+v_{W}} \right)[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]t[/tex] - Total time, in hours.

[tex]s[/tex] - Distance between Los Angeles and San Jose, in miles.

[tex]v_{P}[/tex] - Velocity of the plane in still air, in miles per hour.

[tex]v_{W}[/tex] - Velocity of the wind, in miles per hour.

Then, we proceed to simplify the formula and clear the speed of the plane in still air:

[tex]\frac{t}{s} = \frac{2\cdot v_{P}}{v_{P}^{2}-v_{W}^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]\left(\frac{t}{s}\right)\cdot (v_{P}^{2}-v_{W}^{2}) = 2\cdot v_{P}[/tex]

[tex]\left(\frac{t}{s} \right)\cdot v_{P}^{2} - 2\cdot v_{P}- \left(\frac{t}{s} \right)\cdot v_{W}^{2} = 0[/tex]

Which is a Second Order Polynomial, whose roots can be found analytically by Quadratic Formula. If we know that [tex]t = 2\,h[/tex], [tex]s = 288\,mi[/tex] and [tex]v_{W} = 60\,\frac{mi}{h}[/tex], then we have the following polynomial:

[tex]\frac{1}{144}\cdot v_{P}^{2}-2\cdot v_{P} -25 = 0[/tex]

The two roots associated with this polynomial are, respectively:

[tex]v_{P,1} = 300\,\frac{mi}{h}[/tex], [tex]v_{P,2} = -12\,\frac{mi}{h}[/tex]

Since speed is the magnitude of velocity, then solution must be positive. First root satisfies all these conditions.

In a nutshell, the speed of the airplane is 300 miles per hour.

Answer:

  work shown is incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

An equal sign is a sacred symbol. It needs to be treated with respect. The equal sign can only be used legitimately when the expression on one side is actually equal to the expression on the other side.

Here, you seem to have ...

  16 -7 = 11 . . . . . FALSE

  9 ≠ 11 . . . . . . . . why the equal sign should not be used

So, the inequality you're trying to solve depends on which of the "equal" values you intend.

7 + x < 16 - 7

Subtracting 7 from both sides gives ...

  x < 2

This graphs as an open circle at x=2 and shading of the number line to the left from there. See the attachment for the graph.

__

7 + x < 11

Subtracting 7 from both sides gives ...

  x < 4

This graphs as an open circle at x=4 and shading of the number line to the left from there. The graph is similar to the one attached, but has the point at x=4 instead of x=2.

__

Your solution

Somehow you have concluded that x < 11. If that is correct, and you want to graph that, you need to draw an open circle at x=11 (not x=12), and shade the number line to the left from that point. A solid dot at x=12 and a line left of that does not represent the inequality x < 11.

A solid dot is used only for the "or equal to" case. You have graphed x ≤ 12.

The perimeter of a playing field for a certain sport is 174 ft. The field is a rectangle, and the length is 45 ft longer than the width Find the dimensions.
The width of the playing field is 20 ft.
(Type an integer or a decimal.)​

Answers

Answer:

21 ft by 66 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

P = 2(L+W)............... Equation 1

Where P = Perimeter of the playing Field, L = Length of the playing Field, W = width of the playing Field.

If the Length of the Field is 45 ft longer than the width,

L = 45+W............ Equation 2

Substitute Equation 2 into equation 1

P = 2(45+W+W)

P = 90+4W............. Equation 3

Given: P = 174 ft.

Substitute into equation 3

174 = 90+4W

4W = 174-90

4W = 84

W = 84/4

W = 21 ft.

Substituting the value of W into equation 2

L = 45+21

L = 66 ft.

Hence the dimensions of the playing field is 21 ft by 66 ft

I need help with angles

Answers

Answer:

1. ∠CFD = 28°

2. ∠RPQ = 53°

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first one:

∠CFD and ∠DFE are angles on a straight line

Angles on a straight line add up to equal 180

That being said we can find the missing angle (∠CFD) by subtracting the given angle measure (152°) from 180

so ∠CFD = 180 - 152

180 - 152 = 28

Hence, ∠CFD = 28°

For the second one:

Complementary angles have a sum of 90°

If ∠RPQ and ∠SPR are complementary angles we can find the missing angle ( ∠RPQ in this case ) by subtract the given angle measure ( 37° ) from 90

so ∠RPQ = 90 - 37

90 - 37 = 53

Hence , ∠RPQ = 53°

A set of data already has the values 11, 14, 23, and 16. What value would have to be added to the set for the mean of the
five numbers to be 18?
08
12
18
26

Answers

Your answer is 26.

We have to go at this kind of backward.

We find the average by adding up the numbers, then dividing by how many numbers we have.

In this example, we will have 5 numbers...so
x divided by 5 = 18

x/5 = 18
x = 90

The sum of all 5 numbers is 90, so then subtract the 4 numbers you already know to find the one you’re missing. (We’ll call it n)

90 - 8 - 12 - 18 - 26 = n

90 - 64 = n
n = 26

y+258=360

y=102,

11.) 117+100+105+115+x=540

x+437=540

x=103,

12.) 129+116+120+125+135+130+x=900

755+x=900

x=145

Answer:

10.) 102   11.) 103    12.) 145

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming you need help on all three questions.

10.) This shape, a trapezoid, has 4 angles. Therefore these angles are going to all add up to 360 degrees.

To solve... 360 - 120 - 85 - 53 = 102  

OR...

120 + 85 + 53 = 258 then... 360 - 258 = 102

11.)This shape, a pentagon, has 5 angles. Therefore these angles are going to all add up to 540 degrees.

To solve... 540 - 117 - 100 - 105 - 115 = 103

OR...

117 + 100 + 105 + 115 = 437 then 540 - 437 = 103

12.)This shape, a heptagon, has 7 angles. Therefore these angles are going to all add up to 900 degrees.

To solve... 900 - 116 - 120 - 129 - 130 - 135 - 125 = 145

OR...

116 + 120 + 129 + 130 + 135 + 125 =  then... 900 - 755 = 145
