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

Ivenika [448]
The focal length would likely decrease as the refractive index and the increase when the curvature radius of the lens increases. The decrease in focal length happens since a higher index of refraction would signify that the rays of the sun striking to an object would tend to bend more.

KATRIN_1 [288]

Dressing suitably for different situations, using appropriate language, and maintaining good personal hygiene are all ways to demonstrate <u>self-representation.</u>

<h3>Who is a leader?</h3>

A person taking the charge of the organization and leading a team under him is known as a leader.

"The complete question is"Dressing suitably for different situations, using appropriate language, and maintaining good personal hygiene are all ways to demonstrate _______________. An employee will display _______________ by adhering to professional standards of the workplace and encouraging co-workers to do the same."

Options:

First Blank: work ethic

First Blank: self-representation

First Blank: diversity awareness

Second Blank: leadership skills

Second Blank: nonverbal skills

Self-representation may be shown through dressing appropriately for diverse settings, speaking politely, and keeping up with personal cleanliness.

By upholding the workplace's ethical norms and encouraging others to do the same, an employee will demonstrate leadership qualities.

Dressing suitably for different situations, using appropriate language, and maintaining good personal hygiene are all ways to demonstrate <u>self-representation.</u>

<u></u>

An employee will display <u>leadership skills </u>by adhering to the professional standards of the workplace and encouraging co-workers to do the same.

<h3 />

Hence, self-representation and leadership skills are the correct answer.

<u></u>
