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.

•• CP Two blocks connected by a light horizontal rope sit at rest on a horizontal, frictionless surface. Block AA has mass 15.0
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

(a) T= 38.4 N

(b) m= 26.67 kg

Explanation:

We apply Newton's second law:

∑F = m*a (Formula 1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

Kinematics

d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t² (Formula 2)

d:displacement in meters (m)  

t : time in seconds (s)

v₀: initial speed in m/s  

vf: final speed in m/s  

a: acceleration in m/s²

v₀=0, d=18 m , t=5 s

We apply the formula 2 to calculate the accelerations of the blocks:

d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t²

18= 0+  (1/2)*a*(5)²

a= (2*18) / ( 25) = 1.44 m/s² to the right

We apply Newton's second law to the block A

∑Fx = m*ax

60-T = 15*1.44

60 - 15*1.44 = T

T = 38.4 N

We apply Newton's second law to the block B

∑Fx = m*ax

T = m*ax

38.4 = m*1.44

m= (38.4) / (1.44)

m = 26.67 kg

A car travels in a straight line for 5 h at a constant speed of 72 km/h. What is it’s acceleration
Luda [366]

Answer:

a \approx \: 0.001 \: m {s}^{ - 2}

Explanation:

Given:

initial \:  velocity \:  (u) = 0 \\  \\ Final  \: Velocity \:  (v) = 72 km /h   \\  \\ Time \:  (t) = 5 \:  hours \\  \\ Acceleration \:  (a) =?  \\  \\  \because \: a =  \frac{v - u}{t}  \\  \\  \therefore \: a =  \frac{72 - 0}{5}  \\  \\ a =  \frac{72}{5}  \\  \\ a = 14.5 \: km {h}^{ - 2}  \\  \\ a =  \frac{14.5 \times 1000}{3600\times 3600} \: m {s}^{ - 2}   \\  \\ a = 0.00111882716 \\  \\ a \approx \: 0.001 \: m {s}^{ - 2}
