Answer:

245.1° and 13 knots

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The true heading = 135°

The resultant ground track = 130°

The true airspeed = 135 knots

The ground speed = 140 knots

Given that the true airspeed the ground speed and the wind direction and magnitude form a triangle, we have;

From cosine rule, we have;

a² = b² + c² - 2×b×c×cos(A)

Where

a = The magnitude of the wind speed in knot

b = The true airspeed = 135 knots

c = The ground speed = 140 knots

A = The angle in between the true heading and the resultant ground track heading = 5°

Which gives;

a² = 135² + 140² - 2×135×140×cos(5 degrees) = 168.84 knots²

a = √168.84 = 12.9934 ≈ 13 knots

We have;

135 × sin(135 degrees) - 140× sin(130 degrees) = -11.7868

135 × cos(135 degrees) - 140× cos(130 degrees) = -5.469

Tan(θ) = -11.8/-5.5 = 2.155

θ = tan⁻¹(2.155) = 65.108°

Given that the wind is moving in opposite direction (slowing down the airplane, we add 180°, to get

Therefore, the angle direction = 180 + 65.108 = 245.1

Therefore, we have;

245.1° and 13 knots

PART 2 OF ENERGY AND FORCES UNIT TEST
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

1. at least two charged interacting parts

2. from the electric fields of charged subatomic particles

3 an arrow released from the bow

4Electrical fields of charged particles interact, bonding those with opposite charges.

5 the interaction of the electric fields of protons and electrons

6 The energy stored in the system increases.

7 Kinetic energy increases because the magnets move in the direction of the field.

8 Iron pieces accelerate toward the magnet, and the energy stored in the system decreases.

9  

The energy stored in the field decreases because the magnet moves in the direction of the field.

10 The energy stored increases and then decreases.

11 The wire was not connected to the source.

12  The electromagnet will become more powerful.

the rest are written, hope this helps (:
