After flying for 15 min in a wind blowing 42 km/h at an angle of 19° south of east, an airplane pilot is over a town that is 48

km due north of the starting point. What is the speed of the airplane relative to the air?

Answer:

The speed of the airplane relative to the air is 209.47km/hr

Explanation:

Whenever we are solving a physics problem, it's really useful to start by drawing a diagram of the problem (See picture attached). It will help us visualize the problem better.

Now, we know that the plane flew for an amount of time of 15 minutes. For our dimensions to be the same, we need to turn those 15min to hours, like this:

15min*\frac{1hr}{60min}=0.25hr

Once our time is rewritten as hours, we can now calculate the velocity towards north of the plane.

V=\frac{distance}{time}

the plane traveled a distance to the north of 48km so the velocity is:

V=\frac{48km}{0.25hr}

so

V=192km/hr j

Now, we can calculate the x and y-components of the velocity of the wind. The problem states that the wind is blowing at 42km/hr at an angle of 19° south of east, so the x and y-components of the velocity of the wind are:

V_{x}=42km/hr*cos(-19^{o} )=39.71 i

and

V_{y}=42km/hr*sin(-19^{o} )=-13.67 j

So the velocity of the wind can be expressed as a vector as:

V_{wind}=(39.71i - 13.67j)km/hr

Once we know this, we can find the velocity of the plane with respect of the wind on x and on y:

V_{plane x}=V_{plane/wind x}+V_{wind x}

V_{plane/wind x}=V_{plane x}-V_{wind x}

V_{plane/wind x}=(0-39.71 i)km/hr

V_{plane/wind x}= -39.71 i km/hr

and

V_{plane y}=V_{plane/wind y}+V_{wind y}

V_{plane/wind y}=V_{plane y}-V_{wind y}

V_{plane/wind y}=192km/hr j - (- 13.67j)km/hr

V_{plane/wind x}= 205.67 j km/hr

So the velocity of the plane with respect to the wind can be rewritten as:

V_{plane/wind x}= (-39.71i + 205.67 j) km/hr

Since the problem asks us to find the speed of the plane with respect to the wind, this means that we need to find the magnitude of the velocity, since the speed is a scalar defined to be the magnitude of the velocity.

so:

speed=\sqrt{(-39.71)^{2}+(205.67)^{2}  }

speed= 209.47 km/hr

Therefore, the speed of the airplane relative to the air is 209.47km/hr

Usually, when the temperture is increased l, what will happen to the ratevof dissolving?
pochemuha
<span>When temperature is increased, the rate of dissolving increases. The kinetic energy of the molecules of the solute and solvent molecules is high thereby increasing their contact. An example is mixing powdered sugar to the water. When you add water to the sugar, the dissolving process is slow. However, when you increase the temperature of the water by boiling it, the sugar dissolves immediately. </span>

If all of the forces acting on an object balance so that the net force is zero, then
nadya68 [22]
The answer is (A) the object must be at rest.

When all of the forces acting on an object balance, the net force is zero and hence the object will not move.

Yes, the direction might also change under some special circumstances.

An insulated rigid tank contains 3 kg of H2O in the form of a saturated mixture of liquid and vapor at a pressure of 150 kPa and
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

change in entropy is 1.44 kJ/ K

Explanation:

from steam tables

At 150 kPa

specific volume

Vf = 0.001053 m^3/kg

vg = 1.1594 m^3/kg

specific entropy values are

Sf = 1.4337 kJ/kg K

Sfg = 5.789 kJ/kg

initial specific volume is calculated as

v_1 = vf + x(vg - vf)

      = 0.001053 + 0.25(1.1594 - 0.001053)

v_1 = 0.20964  m^3/kg

s_1 = Sf + x(Sfg)

     = 1.4337 + 0.25 \times 5.7894 = 2.88 kJ/kg K

FROM STEAM Table

at 200 kPa

specific volume

Vf = 0.001061 m^3/kg

vg = 0.88578 m^3/kg

specific entropy values are

Sf = 1.5302 kJ/kg K

Sfg = 5.5698 kJ/kg

constant volume  sov_1 -  v_2  = 0.29064 m^3/kg

v_2 = v_1 = vf + x(vg - vf)

       =0.29064 = x_2(0.88578 - 0.001061)

x_2 = 0.327

s_2 = 1.5302 + 0.32 \times 5.5968 = 3.36035 kJ/kg K

Change in entropy \Delta s = m(s_2 - s_1)

              =3( 3.36035 - 2.88) =  1.44 kJ/kg

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

-2040 m/s²

Explanation:

Taking toward the wall to be positive, the initial velocity is 10.1 m/s and the final velocity is -8.3426 m/s.

Average acceleration is the change in velocity over change in time.

a = Δv / Δt

a = (-8.3426 m/s − 10.1 m/s) / 0.00905 s

a = -2040 m/s²
