Answer:

C. 590 mph

\vert v_{cj}\vert=589.49\ mph

Explanation:

Given:

  • velocity of jet, v_j=500\ mph
  • direction of velocity of jet, east relative to the ground
  • velocity of Cessna, v_c=150\ mph
  • direction of velocity of Cessna, 60° north of west

Taking the x-axis alignment towards east and hence we have the velocity vector of the jet as reference.

Refer the attached schematic.

So,

\vec v_j=500\ \hat i\ mph

&

\vec v_c=150\times (\cos120\ \hat i+\sin120\ \hat j)

\vec v_c=-75\ \hat i+75\sqrt{3}\ \hat j\ mph

Now the vector of relative velocity of Cessna with respect to jet:

\vec v_{cj}=\vec v_j-\vec v_c

\vec v_{cj}=500\ \hat i-(-75\ \hat i+75\sqrt{3}\ \hat j )

\vec v_{cj}=575\ \hat i-75\sqrt{3}\ \hat j\ mph

Now the magnitude of this velocity:

\vert v_{cj}\vert=\sqrt{(575)^2+(75\sqrt{3} )^2}

\vert v_{cj}\vert=589.49\ mph is the relative velocity of Cessna with respect to the jet.

A child in a boat throws a 5.80-kg package out horizontally with a speed of 10.0 m/s. The mass of the child is 24.6kg and the ma
Sergio [31]

Answer:

-0.912 m/s

Explanation:

When the package is thrown out, momentum is conserved. The total momentum after is the same as the total momentum before, which is 0, since the boat was initially at rest.

(m_c + m_b)v_b + m_pv_p = 0

where m_c = 24.6 kg, m_b = 39 kg, m_p = 5.8 kg are the mass of the child, the boat and the package, respectively. , v_p = 10m/s, v_b are the velocity of the package and the boat after throwing.

(24.6 + 39)v_b + 5.8*10 = 0

63.6v_b + 58 = 0

v_b = -58/63.6 = -0.912 m/s

A 900 kg car travelling at 12 m/s due east collides with a 600 kg car travelling at 24 m/s due north. As a result of the collisi
katrin [286]

Calculate force of each car:

P1 = 900 kg x 12m/s = 10,800

P2= 600 x 24 = 14,400

Degree of travel = arctan(14,300/10800)

Degree of travel = 53.1 N of E

How does energy from an earthquake reach each surface? Describe the three types of seismic waves.
WITCHER [35]
Body waves travel through the interior of the Earth. Surface waves travel across the surface. Surface waves decay more slowly with distance than body waves which travel in three dimensions. Particle motion of surface waves is larger than that of body waves, so surface waves tend to cause more damage.
