A plane decides to travel along AB towards the North with a velocity of V.

Mathematics

Maru [420]3 years ago
8 0

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)

Find the equivalent equation that does not contain fractions 2/3 x 7=1/2
mariarad [96]

Answer:

4x + 42 = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

\frac{2}{3}x + 7 = \frac{1}{2}

Required

Equivalent expression without fraction

To do this, we simply multiply through by a common multiple of the denominators in the expression.

The denominators are 2 and 3

2 = 2,4,6,8,10,..

3 = 3,6,9,12..

So, 6 is the least common multiple.

Multiply both sides by 6

6 * (\frac{2}{3}x + 7) = \frac{1}{2} * 6

6 *\frac{2}{3}x + 6*7 = \frac{1}{2} * 6

\frac{12}{3}x + 42 = \frac{6}{2}

4x + 42 = 3

<em>Hence, an equivalent expression.</em>
