Dave and sandy hartranft are frequent flyers with a particular airline. they often fly from city a to city b, a distance of 732732 miles. on one particular trip, they fly into the wind, and the flight takes 22 hours. the return trip, with the wind behind them, only takes 1 and one half1 1 2 hours. if the wind speed is the same on each trip, find the speed of the wind and find the speed of the plane in still air

The focal length of a relaxed human eye is approximately 1.7 cm. when we focus our eyes on a close up object, we can change the refractive power of the eye by about 16 diopters. (a) does the refractive power of our eyes increase or decrease by 16 diopters when we focus closely? explain. (b) calculate the focal length of the eye when we focus closely.

In the circuit, the switch s has been open for a long time and r = 125 kohm. it is then suddenly closed. (a) determine the time constant before the switch is closed. s (b) determine the time constant after the switch is closed. _ s (c) let the switch be closed at t = 0. find the current in the switch as a function of time. (use t for time. express your answer in milliamps and seconds.) i(t) =_

Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps but also due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. to get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length (in m) of a column of water 1.45 km high for a temperature increase of 1.12°c. assume the column is not free to expand sideways. as a model of the ocean, that is a reasonable approximation, as only parts of the ocean very close to
