Ajetliner flies east 2000 miles from san francisco to chicago. it has an average air speed of 600 mph relative to the air. what is the velocity of the jetliner relative to the earth if the wind is blowing at 150 mph from the west to the east?
450 mph, west
750 mph, east
750 mph, west
450 mph, east

750 mph, east

Explanation:

The jetliner is going from San Francisco to Chicago... so it's moving from West to East, at 600 mph, relative to the air.

The wind is also moving from West to East, at 150 mph.

Since both are going in the same direction, we combine the speeds by adding them to each other.  If they were in opposite direction, we would subtract them.

So, 600 mph for the plane + 150 mph for the wind = 750 mph, going EAST.

the answer is false. this is because for ice to melt, it requires latent heat of melting. latent heat means heat energy required to change phase without any increase in temperatures. therefore, the ice will take energy from the environment to melt hence atmospheric temperatures will reduce.
