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°

Precipitation is greater over what and less over what?<br><br> A. Land, sea<br><br> B. Sea, land
Ksju [112]
I would say letter A to this because we need rain water for crops plants. Also we need it so that we can drink it. Its less great over sea because as it merge with the salt in the ocean it becomes less drinkable and less usable.
