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°

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

t = 5.05 s

Explanation:

This is a kinetic problem.

a) to solve it we must fix a reference system, let's use a fixed system on the floor where the height is 0 m

b) in this system the equations of motion are

              y = v₀ t + ½ g t²

where v₀ is the initial velocity that is v₀ = 0 and g is the acceleration of gravity that always points towards the center of the Earth

e)    y = 0 + ½ g t²

     t = √ (2y / g)

     t = √(2 125 / 9.8)

     t = 5.05 s

Given that two vectors A = 5i-7j-3k, B = -4i+4j-8k find A×B​
WARRIOR [948]

\textbf{A}×\textbf{B}= 68\hat{\textbf{i}} + 52\hat{\textbf{j}} - 8\hat{\textbf{k}}

Explanation:

Given:

\textbf{A} = 5\hat{\textbf{i}} - 7\hat{\textbf{j}} - 3\hat{\textbf{k}}

\textbf{B} = -4\hat{\textbf{i}} + 4\hat{\textbf{j}} - 8\hat{\textbf{k}}

The cross product \textbf{A}×\textbf{B} is given by

\textbf{A}×\textbf{B} = \left|\begin{array}{ccc}\hat{\textbf{i}} & \hat{\textbf{j}} & \hat{\textbf{k}} \\\:\:5 & -7 & -3 \\ -4 & \:\:4 & -8 \\ \end{array}\right|

=  \left|\begin{array}{cc}-7 & -3\\\:4 & -8\\ \end{array}\right|\:\hat{\textbf{i}}\:+\:\left|\begin{array}{cc}-3 & \:\:5\\-8 & -4\\ \end{array}\right|\:\hat{\textbf{j}}\:+\: \left|\begin{array}{cc}\:\:5 & -7\\-4 & \:\:4\\ \end{array}\right|\:\hat{\textbf{k}}

= 68\hat{\textbf{i}} + 52\hat{\textbf{j}} - 8\hat{\textbf{k}}

A box of mass 64 kg is at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface. A constant horizontal force F~ then acts on the box and acc
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is;

The magnitude of the force is 35.12 N

Explanation:

To solve the question, we note that the friction is zero and the force causes motion of a stationary mass

One of the equations of motion is required such as

v² = u² + 2× a× s

Where

v = Final velocity = 5.93 m/s

u = Initial velocity = 0 m/s , object at rest

a = acceleration

s = distance moved = 32 meters

But v = Distance/Time = 32 m /5.4 s = 5.93 m/s

Therefore

5.93² = 2×a×32

or a = 35.12/ 64 = 0.55 m/s²

Therefore Force F = Mass m × Acceleration a

Where mass m = 64 kg

Therefore F = 64 kg×0.55 m/s² = 35.12 N
