I think you can just sub the values in? unless the qn is asking for smth else?
Let the distance between the towns be d and the speed of the air be s.
distance = speed * time
convert the minutes time into hours.
When flying into the wind, ground speed will be air speed MINUS wind speed, hence the against the wind trip is described by:
d
s−15
=
7
3
return trip is then :
d
s+15
=
7
5
Cross-multiplying both we get the two-variable system:
3d=7∗(s−15)5d=7∗(s+15)
3d=7s−1055d=7s+105
subtract first equation from second equation we get
2d=210d=105km
Substitute the value of d in the above equations for s.
5∗105=7s+1057s=420s=60km/hr
Let the observer be 'd' distance away from the thunderstorm and let light take 't' time to reach the observer
Since the speed of sound and light remains constant in a particular medium, we can use
Speed = Distance/Time
For light,
3 x 10^8 = d/t
t = d/(3 x 10^8) -1
For sound,
339 = d/(t + 30) -2
Putting value from 1 in 2.
d = 10^4 m(approx)
Answer: This is not easy lol
Explanation:
The correct answer is
Air resistance
In fact, when a ball is in free fall, there are two forces acting on it:
- its weight (force of gravity), acting downward
- the air resistance, acting upward
The effect of the weight is to accelerate the ball, because its direction is the same as the direction of motion of the ball, while the effect of the air resistance is to slow down the ball, because its direction is opposite to that of the motion.
