How long will it take for an airplane that leaves one half hourlater than an airplane flying at rate of five hundred miles per hour when the first airplane flying six hundred miles per hour?

I don't think your question is worded exactly right. It sounds like you are saying Airplane A departs at a speed of 500 m/hr. An hour later, Airplane B departs at a speed of 600 m/hr. When will Airplane B catch up to Airplane A. The question for this is D = R * T D- distance travelled R- rate or speed T- Time To solve this problem, you have to realize that when Airplane B reaches Airplane A, both aircraft will have traveled the same Distance D. Now let T be the Time for Airplane A to travel that unknown D. So first Equation: Airplane A : D = 500*T For Airplane B, it will have to travel Distance D in that 1 hour less than it took Airplane A to travel it. Airplane B: D = 600*(T-1) D is the same in both so the equation becomes 500*T = 600*(T-1) 500*T = 600*T -600 0 = 100 *T - 600 600 = 100*T T = 6 Hours. Airplane A travels distance D = 500 * T or 500 *(6) = 3,000 miles in 6 hours. Airplane B travels the same distance in 5 hours ---so it catches up to it. So even if this is not your problem, it should demonstrate how to form the problem into 2 Equations and eliminate some of the unknowns which allow you to solve it. ~Custermen~


Why was the first airplane flight so important to history?

A 'first' in any new field is very important to history. - This is my interpretation of what 'history' is all about. Aviation was then an exciting new development that mankind had wanted for years, so naturally the real first flight was incredible news.


Why was the airplane important to the Industrial Revolution?

It helped the people by delivering crops and other items. It could also hold people instead of using steamboats and trains. It didn't exist then. The Industrial Revolution occurred before the first successful airplane. The dates of the Industrial Revolution span 1750 to 1850. The first flight took place 1903 so it had no impact on the Industrial Revolution.


What are aerodynamics used in?

Aerodynamics is important in any industry involved with moving objects through the air, so the automobile, airplane, and weaponry industries, for example, study aerodynamics. Even serious runners and their coaches use certain aerodynamic principles.

Where is the fuselage of an airplane located?

The fuselage of an airplane is the body of the airplane so it would be the main part of the plane and holds everything together. It is in a long tube shape so it can be aerodynamic.
