Answer:

the direccion is θ = tan⁻¹ (Vw/Va)

Explanation:

The speed of the airplane is found by means of the sum of the two vectors, the airplane speed Va and the wind speed Vw.

The magnitude of the total velocity, we find it using the Pythagore  triangle

V = √(Va² + Vw²)

And the angle with respect to the north is

<h3>θ = tan⁻¹ (Vw/Va)</h3><h3 />

The direction is something between west and north. That is, a heading between 270 and 360. The exact direction depends on the airplane's airspeed and the wind speed.

Which of the following best explains why clear-cutting forests is more destructive than selectively cutting down trees in forest
garri49 [273]
<span>The answer is a. cutting trees reduce fertility and eliminates animal habitats. Plant material is essential in maintaing soil fertility. Leaves and branches decay to form humus; removing trees decreases the organic content. Trees are home to many animal species, including birds, insects and amphibians. Some trees are even support or home to other plants. Examples include epiphytes in the rainforest ecosystem. Clear cutting forests disrupts whole communities and ecosystems. </span>

Suppose you wanted to start a fire using sunlight and a mirror. Which of the following statements is most accurate? A) It would
Maru [420]
<h2>Answer: B) It would be best to use a concave mirror, with the object to be ignited positioned halfway between the mirror and its center of curvature. </h2>

Explanation:

To start a fire it is more optimal to use a concave mirror than a plane mirror. This is because the concave mirror allows concentrating sunlight at a point (the focal point) on an object that acts as fuel and ignite the fire there.

For this it is necessary the object to be  positioned between the center of curvature of the mirror and the mirror (its focus). Thus the rays of the Sun, when converging on the focus, will heat the object and make it burn.

Hence, the correct option is B.
