An airplane travels 2100 km at 1000km/hE. It encounters a wind and slows to 800 km/h E for the next 1300 km. What is the average velocity of the airplane for this trip?

The average velocity of the airplane for this trip is 1684.21 km/h

Explanation:

Average velocity is the rate of change of displacement with time. That is,

Average velocity = = Δx / Δt =

Now we will calculate the time taken by the airplane for the first motion before it encounters a wind.

From,

Velocity =

Time =

Therefore, Time =

Time = 2.1h

This is the time taken before the airplane encounters a wind.

Hence, t1 = 2.1h

Now, For the time taken by the airplane when it encounters a wind

Also from,

Velocity =

Time =

Therefore, Time =

Time = 1.625h

Hence, t2 = 1.625h

Now, to calculate the average velocity

Average velocity =

x1= 2100, x2= 1300, t1= 2.1h and t2= 1.625h

Hence, Average velocity =

Average velocity = 1684.21 km/h

acid rain does not usually kill trees directly. instead, it is more likely to weaken the trees by damaging their leaves, limiting the nutrients available to them, or poisoning them with toxic substances slowly released from the soil. the main atmospheric pollutants that affect trees are nitrates and sulphates.
