Answer:
7142.86W
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Work done by brake = 40000J
Time taken = 5.6s
Unknown:
Power used by car = ?
Solution:
Power can be defined as the rate at which work is done. It is mathematically expressed as;
Power =
Now input the variables;
Power = = 7142.86W
The ducks' flight path as observed by someone standing on the ground is the sum of the wind velocity and the ducks' velocity relative to the wind:
ducks (relative to wind) + wind (relative to Earth) = ducks (relative to Earth)
or equivalently,
(see the attached graphic)
We have
- ducks (relative to wind) = 7.0 m/s in some direction <em>θ</em> relative to the positive horizontal direction, or
- wind (relative to Earth) = 5.0 m/s due East, or
- ducks (relative to earth) = some speed <em>v</em> due South, or
Then by setting components equal, we have
We only care about the direction for this question, which we get from the first equation:
or approximately 136º or 224º.
Only one of these directions must be correct. Choosing between them is a matter of picking the one that satisfies <em>both</em> equations. We want
which means <em>θ</em> must be between 180º and 360º (since angles in this range have negative sine).
So the ducks must fly (relative to the air) in a direction 224º relative to the positive horizontal direction, or about 44º South of West.
