Assume a plane is flying directly north at 200 mph, but there is a wind blowing west at 23 mph. Part I: Express both the velocit

y of the plane and the velocity of the wind as vectors, using proper notation to represent each direction of motion. Part II: What is the velocity vector of the plane? Part III: What is the ground speed of the plane?

Define i  as a unit vector in the eastern direction.
Define j as a unit vector in the northern direction.

Part I
Because the wind is blowing west, its velocity vector is
 -23i mph or as (-23, 0) mph
Because the plane is traveling north, its velocity vector is
  200j mph or as (0, 200) mph 

Part II
The actual velocity of the plane is the vector sum of the plane and wind velocities.
That is,
200j - 23i or (-23, 200) mph

Part III
The ground speed of the plane is the magnitude of its vector.
The ground speed is
√[200² + (-23)²] = 201.32 mph

The ground speed of the plane is 201.3 mph (nearest tenth)

Not:
The direction of the plane is
 tan⁻¹ 23/200 = 6.56° west of north.

Degger [83]

Answer:

\frac{470}{32-n}  

Step-by-step explanation:  

We have been given that there were 32 volunteers to donate blood. Unfortunately, n of the volunteers did not meet the health requirements, so they couldn't donate.            

So the number of volunteers that donated blood will be 32-n.

We are also told that the rest of the volunteers donated 470 milliliters each.

To find the units of blood donated by each of the volunteers we will divide total units of donated blood by number of volunteers, who donated the blood (32-n).

\text{Millimeters of blood donated by each volunteer}=\frac{470}{32-n}  

Therefore, each of the volunteers donated \frac{470}{32-n} millimeters of blood.

What word describes the equal shares of a shape
Sloan [31]
The word will depend on how many equal shares there are. For example, if there are two equal shares, you can say "halves"; if there are three equal shares, you can say "thirds"; if there are four equal shares, you can say "quarters," etc.

Which statement lists contractionary policies? Question 73 options: a) The Fed purchases bonds, lowers the discount rate, and lo
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Contractionary monetary policies are instruments used by the FED to decrease the amount of money in an economy. There are three classic instruments of monetary policy: open market, rediscount policy and compulsory deposit. The open market is about buying and selling federal government bonds. Thus, by selling bonds, the bank will be increasing the supply of bonds in the economy, on the other hand, is withdrawing dollars, that is, will be withdrawing currency from the economy, resulting in a contractionary monetary policy. Rediscount refers to the interest rate on loans that the FED lends to financial institutions. In situations of illiquidity, banks turn to the FED for loans. In this case, the FED, by increasing the rediscount rate, hindering the supply of money to the institutions and thus exerting a contractionary monetary policy. Finally, bank reserves refer to the part of banks' monetary reserves that are required to be deposited with the FED. Thus, by increasing the percentage of such reserves, the FED is exerting a contractionary fiscal policy, as it decreases the total amount of commercial banks' borrowing resources.
