A plane decides to travel along AB towards the North with a velocity of V.
1 answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The wind has a speed of w and a direction α with the vertical. The x component of that speed is w sin α. The y component is -w cos α.
In order to stay on the north trajectory AB, the plane must have a horizontal speed of -w sin α. The plane's speed is v, so using Pythagorean theorem, the y component of the plane's speed is:
v² = (-w sin α)² + vᵧ²
v² = w² sin²α + vᵧ²
vᵧ = √(v² − w² sin²α)
The total vertical speed is therefore √(v² − w² sin²α) − w cos α.
If a is the length of AB, then the time is:
t = a / [√(v² − w² sin²α) − w cos α]
To rationalize the denominator, we multiply by the conjugate.
t = a / [√(v² − w² sin²α) − w cos α] × [√(v² − w² sin²α) + w cos α] / [√(v² − w² sin²α) + w cos α]
t = a [√(v² − w² sin²α) + w cos α] / (v² − w² sin²α − w² cos²α)
t = a [√(v² − w² sin²α) + w cos α] / (v² − w²)

<h2>Answer:</h2>
<u>, "six and one over two ft".</u>
Let's considerate the fact that the garden has a <u>square shape</u>.
<h3>1. Finding values of interest.</h3>Amount of fence that the gardener already has: ft.
Length of one side: ft.
If one side measures ft, and the square garden has 4 sides of equal length, because it's a square, then we must multiply the measure of one side by 4 to find the total length of fence needed:
The gardener already has , which equals
. Hence, the difference between the amount needed and the amount that the gardeneralready has will give us the remaining amount required. Let's do that:
