13. An aircraft heads North at 320 km/h rel:
AURORKA [14]

The velocity of the aircraft relative to the ground is 240 km/h North

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using vector addition. In fact, the velocity of the aircraft relative to the ground is the (vector) sum between the velocity of the aircraft relative to the air and the velocity of the air relative to the ground.

Mathematically:

v' = v + v_a

where

v' is the velocity of the aircraft relative to the ground

v is the velocity of the aircraft relative to the air

v_a is the velocity of the air relative to the ground.

Taking north as positive direction, we have:

v = +320 km/h

v_a = -80 km/h (since the air is moving from North)

Therefore, we find

v'=+320 + (-80) = +240 km/h (north)

A sled of mass m is being pulled horizontally by a constant horizontal force of magnitude F. The coefficient of kinetic friction
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

The average velocity of the sled is vavg = s/t.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The average velocity is calculated as the traveled distance over time:

vavg = Δx/Δt

Where:

vavg = average velocity.

Δx = traveled distance.

Δt = elapsed time.

We already know the traveled distance (s) and also know the time it takes the sled to travel that distance (t). Then, the average velocity can be calculated as follows:

vavg = s/t

Have a nice day!

A "moving sidewalk" in an airport terminal moves at 1.0 m/s and is 35.0 m long. If a woman steps on at one end and walks at 1.5
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

a.14 s

b.70 s

Explanation:

a.Let the sidewalk moving in positive x- direction.

Speed  of sidewalk relative to ground=v_s=1m/s

Speed of women relative to sidewalk=v=1.5m/s

The speed of women relative to the ground

v_w=v_s+v=1+1.5=2.5m/s

Distance=35 m

Time=\frac{distance}{speed}

Using the formula

Time taken by women to reach the opposite end if she walks in the same direction the sidewalk is moving=\frac{35}{v_w}=\frac{35}{2.5}=14s

b.If she gets on at the end opposite the end in part (a)

Then, we take displacement negative.

Speed  of sidewalk relative to ground=v_s=1m/s

Speed of women relative to sidewalk=v=-1.5 m/s

The speed of women relative to the ground=v_w=v_s+v=1-1.5=-0.5m/s

Time=\frac{-35}{-0.5}=70 s

Hence, the women takes 70 s to reach the opposite end if she walks in the opposite direction the sidewalk is moving.
