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.

Consider an electric dipole in a uniform electric field. In which orientation does the dipole-field system have the greatest pot
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer: when the dipole moment and electric field are parallel

Explanation: The formulae that relates the potential energy of a dipole, dipole moment and strength of electric field is given as

u = p * E cosθ

Where, u= dipole potential energy, p = dipole moment, E = strength of electric field.

The expression is at maximum when θ = 0 (cos 0° = 1)

Hence the function for potential energy will be greatest when θ = 0° which implies that the dipole moment and strength of electric field are parallel to each other.

A hiker is at the bottom of a canyon facing the canyon wall closest to her. She is 280.5 meters from the wall and the sound of h
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

4.80 seconds

Explanation:

The velocity of sound is obtained from;

V= 2d/t

Where;

V= velocity of sound = 329.2 ms-1

d= distance from the wall = 790.5 m

t= time = the unknown

t= 2d/V

t= 2 × 790.5/ 329.2

t= 4.80 seconds
