<span> d = r*t is the basic distance equation
d = 6000 km
t with the tail wind = 6 hr
r with the tail wind = speed of the plane + wind speed = s + w
t with the head wind = 7.5 hr
r with the head wind = speed of the plane - wind speed = s-w
(s+w)*6 = 6000
(s-w)*7.5 = 6000
s + w = 1000
s - w = 800
</span><span> 2s = 1800
s = 900 km/h
s + w = 1000
w = 100
Check the anwer by calculating the return trip.
(900-100) * 7.5 = 800 * 7.5
800 * 7.5 = 6000 km
Answer: The rate of the jet in still air is 900 km/h. The rate of the wind is 100 km/hr.</span>
KE = (1/2)·(mass)·(speed)²
KE = (1/2)·(50 kg)·(18 m/s)²
KE = (25 kg)·(324 m²/s²)
KE = 8,100 kg-m²/s²
KE = 8,100 Joules
Since it was dropped, it should be the speed of gravity which is 9.8 meters/second
