The magnitude of a velocity vector is called speed. Suppose that a wind is blowing from the direction N45°W at a speed of 50 km/

h.(This means that the direction from which the wind blows is 45° west of the northerly direction.) A pilot is steering a plane in the direction N60°E at an airspeed (speed in still air) of 200 km/h. The true course, or track, of the plane is the direction of the resultant of the velocity vectors of the plane and the wind. The ground speed of the plane is the magnitude of the resultant. Find the true course and the ground speed of the plane.
Give your answers correct to one decimal place.

True course in North of East
Ground speed in Km/h

To solve this problem, you must figure out (in vector form) both the wind vector and plane vector

w⃗ = wind vector

P⃗ = plane vector

 To get the  true course of the plane, you need to add the plane and wind vectors, the formula would be

w⃗ +P⃗ ,

 which will result to the ground speed.

ground speed=||w⃗ +P⃗ ||

 

Using the planar representation of your situation, this will help you understand the equation, use this to make the equation more understandable.

w⃗ =AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯,   P⃗ =AC¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

 

the smaller circle is of radius 50 (similar to the wind speed) and the larger circle is of radius 200 (similar to the plane vector.  To get the coordinates of these two vectors,  use polar coordinates.

Let East be 0 degrees, so since the wind vector is on the circle of radius 50, we have:

w⃗ =⟨50cos(135),50sin(135)⟩=⟨−252√, 252√⟩.

P⃗ =⟨200cos(60),200sin(60)⟩=⟨100,\1003√⟩.

w⃗ +P⃗ =⟨100−252√ , 1003√+252√⟩

||w⃗ +P⃗ ||=(100−252√)2+(1003√+252√)2

√≈218.349218.

Waves carry ______ from one place to another?<br><br> energy<br> crests<br> troughts<br> wavelengths
Leni [432]

Answer:

Energy.

Explanation:

Waves can travel through medium and can be without medium.

In electromagnetic waves the energy travels through vibration of electric field and magnetic field while in sound waves energy is transferred through vibration of particles through which sound waves are travelling or though vibration of air particles.

You drive on Interstate 10 from San Antonio to Houston, half the time at 72 km/h and the other half at 98 km/h. On the way back
zimovet [89]

Answer: a. 85km/hr b.82.3km/hr

c. 84km/hr

Explanation: first let take the total time from San Antonio to Houston to be 2hr.

Half time 1hr was covered with speed of 72km/hr

Distance = speed*time=72km/hr *1hr

=72km

So too with the second half of 1hr covered with speed of 98km/hr

Distance = 98km

Total distance from Houston to San Antonio is 98+72 =170km

a. Average speed from San Antonio to Houston is

S1 =170/2

=85km/hr

b.half distance from Houston to San Antonio which is 170km/2

= 85km was covered with speed of 72km/hr first half, so time

t = dist/speed

t = 85/72 = 1hr 12 mins

Remaining 85 km covered with a speed of 98km/hr

Time = 85/98 = 0.88*60min

= 52 mins

Total time = 1hr +12mins +52mins

=2hr4mins= 124/60 hr

So average speed = distance/time

=170/124/60

Using reciprocal law

Average speed S2= 170*60/124

= 82.3km/hr

C. Average speed to and fro(entire tripe)

= (85+82.3)/2

=84km/hr

In cloud formation, water vapor turns into water droplets which get bigger and bigger until it rains.
Andreas93 [3]

Basically there will be an increase in the air temperature in the clouds. Internally the water vapor is condensed in a cloud to fall like rain and release all the heat that it has inside. This heat is physically known as 'latent heat'. With this release of energy released as water vapor becomes drops of water, a microphysical process will be generated in the clouds that are responsible for controlling the conversion of water vapor into cloud particles and their respective rainfall.

The correct answer is A: Get Warmer.

Sliva [168]

Answer:

Interface

Explanation:

This is a classic example of Interface technology.

An interface allows different software packages to communicate without re-entering data.

Here in this case also systems are able to communicate with one another without duplicating data entry. For example, practice management software and another for their electronic health record.
