A car is driving directly north on the freeway at a speed of 119 km/h and a truck is leaving the freeway driving 87.7 km/h in a

direction that is 35° west of north. Assume north to be in the +y-direction and east to be in the +x-direction.
What is the magnitude of the velocity of the truck relative to the car?

The magnitude of the velocity of the truck relative to the car is 183.9 km/h

The direction of the velocity of the truck relative to the car is 67 ⁰ north of west.

<h3>Velocity of the truck relative to the car</h3>

The velocity of the truck relative to the car is the resultant velocity of the vehicles.

The resultant velocity of the car is calculated as follows;

<h3>Vertical component of the velocity</h3>

Vyi = 119 km/h

Vy2 = 87.7 km/h x sin(35) = 50.3 km/h

Vy(total) = 119 km/h + 50.3 km/h = 169.3 km/h

<h3>Horizontal component of the velocity</h3>

Vx = -87.7 x cos(35) = -71.84 km

<h3>Resultant velocity</h3>

v = √Vy² + Vx²

v = √[(169.3²) + (-71.84)²]

v = 183.9 km/h

<h3>Direction of the velocity</h3>

θ = arc tan(Vy/Vx)

θ = arc tan(169.3 / -71.84)

θ = -67 ⁰

θ = 67 ⁰ north of west.

Thus, the magnitude of the velocity of the truck relative to the car is 183.9 km/h and the direction of the velocity of the truck relative to the car is 67 ⁰ north of west.

How could rescue workers use squeezing or compressing to get energy to their flashlights during rescue missions?
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

They can do this with the help of mechanical power generated from the human muscle.

Explanation:

Since rescue workers engage in missions where it is usually difficult for them to get electrical energy to their devices and working tools, they could employ various materials that can be sourced around them to get energy to their tools. One of such is the mechanical power generated from the human body through squeezing and compressing.

Some green devices such as the dyno torch have been designed to be powered through this method. Repeated squeezing of its flywheel allows light to be generated.

Please have a look at the image!

Nice problem!

Look. At point A the road changes from a straight line to a circular line, then the motion changes from  rectilinear to circular motion. So at that point, there is a sudden change in the acceleration, which for sure the passengers feel.

At point B, the circular motion changes from anticlockwise to clockwise, then there is another sudden change in the acceleration.

At point C, the road changes from circular to straihgt line, then the motion changes from rectilinear to circular, which produces a new sudeen change in acceleration.

Then the answeer is the last option, at points A, B and C.
