Define an x-y coordinate system such that
The positive x-axis = the eastern direction, with unit vector  \hat{i}.
The positive y-axis = the northern direction, with unit vector \hat{j}.

The airplane flies at 340 km/h at 12° east of north. Its velocity vector is
\vec{v}_{1} = 340(sin(15^{o})\hat{i} + cos(15^{o})\hat{j} ) = 88\hat{i} + 328.4\hat{j}

The wind blows at 40 km/h in the direction 34° south of east. Its velocity vector is
\vec{v}_{2} =40(cos(34^{o})\hat{i} - sin(24^{o})]\hat{j}) = 33.1615\hat{i} -22.3677\hat{j})

The plane's actual velocity is the vector sum of the two velocities. It is
\vec{v}=\vec{v}_{1}+\vec{v}_{2} = 121.1615\hat{i}+306.0473\hat{j}

The magnitude of the actual velocity is
v = √(121.1615² + 306.0473²) = 329.158 km/h

The angle that the velocity makes north of east is
tan⁻¹ (306.04733/121.1615) = 21.6°

Answer:
The actual velocity is 329.2 km/h at 21.6° north of east.

If a cart of 2 kg mass has a force of 8 newtons exerted on it, what is its acceleration?
maria [59]
This is an example of the Newton`s Second Law:
F = m * a
a = F / m
F = 8 N, m = 2 kg.
a = 8 N : 2 kg
Answer:
a = 4 m/s²

Which statement BEST describes how the body moves?
Alex73 [517]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

A. Skeletal muscles, which are made of fibers, nerves, and blood vessels, contract in order to make the body move.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <em><u>Muscular tissues functions in movement and locomotion through its direct connection with the skeletal system. </u></em>
  • <em><u>Skeletal muscles are responsible for moving the body. The skeletal muscle contractions pull on tendons, which as attached to bones. When the skeletal muscle contraction causes the muscle to shorten, the bone and thus the body par will move. </u></em>
  • <em><u>Skeletal muscles also provide structural support for the entire body. </u></em>
