The mayflower sailed from plymouth, england to plymouth rock a distance
of approximately 2800 miles, in 63 days. The average speed in miles per
hour was closest to what speed? - correct answer x = average speed of
ship
2800/63(24hrs) = 2800/1512
2800/1512 = 1.85mph
Round up to 2mph if necessary
A man drives 60 miles to his destination at an average speed of 40 miles
per hour and makes the return trip at an average rate of 30 miles per hour.
His average speed in miles per hour for - correct answer c
If a car uses 1.5 gallons of gas every 30 miles, how many miles can be
driven with 6 gallons of gas? - correct answer let x = miles per gallon
1.5x = 30 mpg
Divide both sides by 1.5 (the left cancels)
1.5/30 or move decimal place to left of each 15/300 = x
X = 20mpg
,So now 6(20) = answer
120 miles = answer
A car has a gasoline tank that holds 20 gallons. When the gauge reads 1/4
full, how many galleons are needed to fill the tank? - correct answer let x
= the gallons needed for a full tank of 20 gal.
1/4 of 20 = .25(20)
So there is currently 5gal. Already in the tank of 20.
20 - 5 = x
X = 15gal.
15gal. = answer
An airplane flying a distance of 875 miles used 70 gallons of gasoline. How
man gallons will it need to travel 3000 miles. - correct answer x = number
of gallons needed to travel 3000 miles
875/70 = 3000/x
875x = 210,000
, Divide both sides by 875 (left cancels)
210,000 ÷ 875 = x
X = 240 gallons needed to travel 3000 miles
Dihedral angle - correct answer when the left and right wings aren't truly
horizontal to the fuselage, but instead meet at this angle. Built into the
design for roll stability; a wing with some dihedral will naturally return to its
original position if it encounters a slight displacement
Three basic wing types on modern airplanes - correct answer 1. Straight
2. Sweep
3. Delta
Straight wings - correct answer mostly found on small, low-speed
airplanes, as well as gliders and sailplanes. These wings give the most
efficient lift at low speeds, but are not very good for high speed flight,
especially that approaching the speed of sound
Swept wings - correct answer (either forward swept or swept back) is the
most common design for modern high speed airplanes. Creates less drag
than straight wing designs, but is somewhat more unstable at low speeds.
Moderate sweep - correct answer commercial jetliner, resulting in less
drag while maintaining stability at lower speeds
