A pilot heads his jet due east. The jet has a speed of 475 mi/h relative to the air. The wind is blowing due north with a speed

of 30 mi/h. (Assume that the i vector points east, and the j vector points north.)
a. Express the velocity of the wind as a vector in component form.
b. Express the velocity of the jet relative to the air as a vector in component form.
c. Find the true velocity of the jet as a vector.
d. Find the true speed of the jet. (Round your answer to the nearest integer.)
e. Find the direction of the jet.

Answer:

a) V = 30j

b) U = 475i

c) W = 475i + 30j

d) true speed = 475.95mi/h

e) Direction = 3.62°

Explanation:

The speed of the jet is 475mi/h relative to air.

The wind speed is 30mi/h to the north.

a) The velocity of the wind represented by a ve tor v in component form is given by:

V = 30j

b) The velocity of the jet relative to the air represented by a vector U in component form is given by:

U = 475i

c) The true velocity of the jet as a vector W is represented as W is given by:

W = U + V = 475i + 30j

d) The true speed of the jet is given by:

W = Sqrt(475^2 +30^2)

W = Sqrt(225625 + 900)

W = Sqrt(226525)

W = 475.95mi/h

e) The direction of the jet is given by :

Theta = Tan^-1 (30/475)

Theta = Tan^-1(0.06316)

Theta = 3.62°

What physics is involved for a passenger feeling pushed backward into the seat of an airplane when it accelerates along the runw
timofeeve [1]

It's due to Inertia. The law of Inertia states that a body will try to retain its movement state if possible. This means, if a body is at rest, it will try to remain at rest using forces. Similarly, if it's in movement, it will try to remain in movement.

In this example, the plane is moving forwards, and so do the seats, which in turn push the passenger forwards.The force felt is Inertia acting on the body, trying to counter the movement.

Two manned satellites approaching one another at a relative speed of 0.550 m/s intend to dock. The first has a mass of 2.50 ✕ 10
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer: Their final relative velocity is -0.412 m/s.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation,

      m_{1}v_{1} + m_{2}v_{2} = (m_{1} + m_{2})v

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

      m_{1}v_{1} + m_{2}v_{2} = (m_{1} + m_{2})v

     2.50 \times 10^{3} kg \times 0 m/s + 7.50 \times 10^{3} kg \times -0.550 m/s = (2.50 \times 10^{3} kg + 7.50 \times 10^{3} kg)v

           -4.12 \times 10^{3} kg m/s = (10^{4} kg) v

                   v = \frac{-4.12 \times 10^{3} kg m/s}{10^{4} kg}

                      = -0.412 m/s

Thus, we can conclude that their final relative velocity is -0.412 m/s.

2. What is the water pressure at a depth of 24 m in a lake? [Density of water, p = 1 000 kg m- and gravitational acceleration, g
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Pressure = ρgh

pressure (p) is measured in pascals (Pa)

density (ρ) is measured in kilograms per metre cubed (kg/m3)

The fore of gravitational field strength (g) is measured in N/kg or m/s 2

height of column (h) is measured in metres (m)

Answer = 235,200 Pa

Explanation:

Pressure = ρgh

Pressure = 1,000 x 9.8 x 24

Pressure = 235,200 Pa
