Flying against the jetstream, a jet travels 1710 miles in 3 hours. Flying with the jetstream, the same jet travels 5820 miles in 6 hours. What is the rate of the jet in still air and what is the rate of the jetstream

Respuesta :

The rate of the jet against jetstream will be 570 miles per hour and the rate of the jet in still air will be 970 miles per hour.

What is speed?

Speed is defined as the ratio of the time distance traveled by the body to the time taken by the body to cover the distance.

Given that:-

  • Flying against the jetstream, a jet travels 1710 miles in 3 hours.
  • Flying with the jetstream, the same jet travels 5820 miles in 6 hours.

The rate of the jet against the jetstream will be calculated as:-

V = [tex]\dfrac{1710}{3}[/tex] = 570 miles per hour

The rate of the jet in still air will be calculated as:-

V = [tex]\dfrac{5820}{6}[/tex] = 970 miles per hour.

Therefore the rate of the jet against jetstream will be 570 miles per hour and the rate of the jet in still air will be 970 miles per hour.
