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.

What is the difference between speed and velocity?
avanturin [10]

Answer:

speed is the rate of change in distance thus it is scalar physical quantity

while velocity is the rate of change in displacement thus it is a vector physical quantity

Explanation:

vector physical quantity: is a quantity that requires both magnitude and direction to identify

scalar quantity: requires only magnitude to identify.

Anna [14]

The height attained by the ball is 11.86m

a ball is shot from the ground straight up into the air its initial and final velocity is

initial velocity, u = 50 ft/s = 50×0.305  = 15.25m/s

final velocity ,v = 0 m/s

gravity =-9.8 m/s²

( negative sign shows acceleration in opposite direction)

height =?

using the newton motion of equation

v² = u² + 2as

where

a= acceleration due to gravity(g)

s = height

v² = u² + 2gs

(0)² = (15.25)² + 2×(-9.8)×s

0  = (15.25)² -  19.6 × s

s= - (15.25)²/ 19.6

s = 11.86m

after ignoring the air resistance the maximum height of the ball is 11.86m
