The wind velocity has nothing to do with this. It is caused by the rotating of the earth, and you have not provided us with much information, though as a fact commercial jets can travel at 400 mph.

Why does it take longer to fly nonstop from San Francisco to New York than the return trip?

Usually when you fly from New York to San Francisco the flight takes longer in elapsed time than the trip from San Francisco to New York. Flying from east to west in the Northern Hemisphere usually means flying into the wind, while flying west to east gives a tail wind. Also, the trip flying west may seem shorter because of the three-hour difference between the two locations: 4:44 New York (Eastern) = 1:44 San Francisco (Pacific)

If an astronaut is weightless orbiting the earth at 100 miles up would you experience weightlessness at the top of a 100 mile step ladder What equations would prove or disprove?

The person on the ladder would not feel weightless because they are not in orbit, they are simply at a high altitude. If they let go, they would fall straight down towards the earth's center just as any other object which is being pulled on by gravity.Orbit is achieved through velocity. With enough thrust, a rocket is able to propel an astronaut to a speed which will send him beyond the earth's gravitational field and straight into space (ie: "escape velocity"). However, by controlling the level of thrust and angle of inclination, the astronaut can be placed in an area of space that is somewhere "in-between" the pull of earth's gravity and the escape velocity. This is called "orbital velocity". The astronaut achieves ORBIT, and he is in a constant free-fall circling around the earth: not quite fast enough to escape the earth's gravity, but not so slow that he falls back to earth.When a spacecraft needs to return to earth, thrusters are fired in the direction of orbit, which decreases forward speed, and allows the craft to return to earth via the earth's gravitational field with help from atmospheric drag.

An airplane flew for 4 hours with a 20 km hr tailwind The return flight against the same wind took 5 hours Find the speed of the airplane in still air?

Let the speed of the airplane in still air be represented by V.Velocity = Distance ÷ Time, thus Distance = Velocity x Time.D = 4(V + 20) = 5(V - 20), then 4V + 80 = 5V - 100 : V = 180 kphThe speed in still air is 180kph

When does average velocity becomes 0?

At the starting point and whenever you return to the starting point.


What is the formula used to calculate the velocity of an object?

The average velocity in a particular direction = distance travelled in that direction / time taken. Velocity is a vector so the direction is important. If I go from A to B and then return to A my average velocity will be zero. My speed, on the other hand, will not be zero.

When will a stone return to the groun if it is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 16ms?

The stone will return to the ground when its vertical velocity becomes zero and it starts to fall back down. The time it takes for this to happen can be calculated using kinematic equations. In this case, the time can be found by setting the vertical velocity to zero and solving for time.

Can you sleep on the floor of an airplane, and if so, what are the guidelines or restrictions for doing so"?

No, passengers are generally not allowed to sleep on the floor of an airplane due to safety regulations. Flight attendants may ask you to return to your seat if you attempt to do so.

How long does it take a radar signal to go and return to the originating radar unit from an airplane that is 275 mi away?

The radar signal travels at the speed of light, which is approximately 186,282 miles per second. Therefore, the time it takes for the signal to go to the airplane and return would be around 0.0015 seconds.
