Answer:
a) t = 1.47 h b) t = 1.32 h
Explanation:
a) In this problem the plane and the wind are in the same North-South direction, whereby the vector sum is reduced to the scalar sum (ordinary). Let's calculate the total speed
v =
f -
v = 585 -32.1
v = 552.9 km / h
We use the speed ratio in uniform motion
v = x / t
t = x / v
t = 815 /552.9
t = 1.47 h
b) We repeat the calculation, but this time the wind is going in the direction of the plane
v=
f -
v 585 + 32.1
v = 617.1 km / h
t = 815 /617.1
t = 1.32 h
The speed and distances are directly proportional. Use ratios to solve for vertical y-distance. The ratio of x-distance west to y-distance north equals the x-velocity to y-velocity.
x/y = vx/vy
41/y = 8.6/5.2
41/y = 1.65
41/1.65 = y
24.8 m = y
C is correct answer.
Walking along a 6 meter beam without falling helps to develop balance.
Hope it helped.
