A small plane flies at a speed of 102 km/h in still air. Suppose the wind blows out from the west (with the air moving east) at a speed of 46 km/h. A) In what direction must the pilot head her plane to move directly north across land?B) How long does it take her to reach a point 300 km directly north of her srarting point?

2.68 hours

Explanation:

A.) Suppose the wind blows out from the west (with the air moving east). The pilot should then head her plane to northwest direction to move directly north.

B.) Given that plane flies at a speed of 102 km/h in still air. And the wind blows out from the west (with the air moving east) at a speed of 46 km/h.

The plan resultant speed can be calculated by using pythagorean theorem.

Resultant Speed = Sqrt( 102^2 + 46^2 )

Resultant Speed = Sqrt( 12520)

Resultant speed = 111.89 km/h

From the definition of speed,

Speed = distance/time

Where distance = 300 km

Substitute the resultant speed and the distance into the formula.

111.89 = 300/time

Time = 300/111.89

Time = 2.68 hours

Therefore, it take her 2.68 hours to reach a point 300 km directly north of her srarting point

bacteria that live on the ocean floor are sustained by phytoplankton. phytoplankton, microscopic marine photosynthetic organisms, have a vastly significant role to play not only in the marine food web of which they’re part of, but also on a more global scale. despite their infinitely small size in comparison to other marine organisms, these tiny creatures occupy an immensely important ecological niche: they are the foundation of the marine food web, and as primary producers, play key roles in supporting all other organisms in the marine environment, as well as in the regulation of the earth’s climate through the sequestration of carbon, oxygen production, and other related processes. phytoplankton account for roughly half of all global primary productivity; therefore, their significance extends far beyond the marine environment alone. there is an intriguing sense of irony in the realization that these tiny living beings that often live out their existence unnoticed and undetected by the rest of the world, have such a far-reaching impact on the lives of virtually all other living organisms on the planet, particularly on those in the marine environment. the world that we have become accustomed to has been and is continuously shaped by the workings of these miniscule yet vital “plants of the sea”.

hope this !
