The average velocity of the jet during the diversion is 518.75 m/s.
<h3>
Displacement of the pilot</h3>
The displacement of the pilot from the starting position is calculated as follows;
d² = 20² + 60² - 2(20)(60) x cos(θ)
where;
- θ is the angle between 20 km and 60 km leg of triangle formed from the motion.
θ = (90 - 38) + (90 - 55) = 87⁰
d² = 20² + 60² - 2(20)(60) x cos(87)
d² = 3874.39
d = 62.25 km
<h3>Average velocity of the pilot</h3>
V = total displacement/total time
where;
- time = 2mins = 0.033 hour
V = (62.25 km)/(0.033 hr)
V = 1,867.5 km/hr = 518.75 m/s
Thus, the average velocity of the jet during the diversion is 518.75 m/s.
