An airplane is heading south at a speed of 600km/h. If a wind begins blowing from the southwest at a speed of 100km/h, calculate

: a) The velocity (magnitude and direction) of the plane relative to the ground. b) How far away from its intended position will it be after 10min if the pilot takes no corrective action? c) In what direction should the pilot aim in order to fly due south?

Answer:

Here's what I got:

Let's assume that N and E are + directions while S and W are - directions.

Wind is blowing from SW; thus, it is blowing towards NE (or at 45 deg N of E).

Dividing the wind's speed into components:y-component: +70.71 km/h; x-component: +70.71 km/h

Dividing the airplane's speed into components:y-component: -600 km/h; x-component: 0 km/h

Adding the components to get the resulting components:y-component: -529.29 km/h; x-component: +70.71

Using the Pythagorean Theorem to find the resulting speed:v^2 = y^2 + x^2 so v = 533.99 km/h

To find the angle of direction, use arctan (y/x):arctan (529.29/70.71) = 82.39 deg

ANSWER: velocity = 533.99 km/h at 82.39 deg S of E

A rollercoaster car has 2500 J of potential energy and 160 J of
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

E_{k2}=2660 [J] kinetic energy.

Explanation:

The energy in the initial state i.e. when the rollercoaster is at the top is equal to the energy in the final state i.e. when it is at the bottom of the hill.

These states can be represented by means of the second equation.

E_{k1}+E_{p1}=E_{k2}\\160 + 2500 = E_{k2}\\E_{k2}=2660 [J]

Since the rollercoaster is located in the bottom of the hill where the potential energy level is zero, therefore there is only kinetic energy in the second state.

Why do animal cells not need central vacuoles? Help A.S.A.P! Please!
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

This is because animals do not need to store as much water as plants.

Explanation:

Animals generally have smaller vacuoles than plants. Plants have large vacuoles that can occupy a large portion of their cell (up to 30 percent). The major function of the vacuole is to store water and maintain cell turgidity and pressure against the cell wall.

Animals on the other hand do not have a rigid cell wall, rather, they have a flexible cell membrane. As a result of this, they do not need to store water in vacuoles.

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

The surface tension of plain water can cause a needle to float.

Evidently, the addition of detergent to the water reduces the surface tension of the liquid causing the needle to sink.

This shows the sunlight shining on the moon is creating a shadow. The part of the shadow that we don’t see from Earth is called the eclipse. Since the Earth gets a shadow from the moon, that causes the rest of the Earth to light up which causes a lunar eclipse.
