Let:
Vx = the pulling component of force
Vy = the lifting component of force

Vy:
Sin(n°) = Vy/hypotenuse
hypotenuse * Sin(n°) = Vy
100N*sin(30°) = Vy
50N = Vy

Vx:
Cos(n°) = Vx/hypotenuse
Hypotenuse * cos(n°) = Vx
100N*cos(30°) =Vx
about 86.6N = Vx

Kyle is flying a helicopter at 125 m/s on a heading of 325 o . If a wind is blowing at 25 m/s toward a direction of 240.0 o , wh
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

The resultant velocity of the helicopter is \vec v_{H} = \left(89.894\,\frac{m}{s}, -93.348\,\frac{m}{s}\right).

Explanation:

Physically speaking, the resulting velocity of the helicopter (\vec v_{H}), measured in meters per second, is equal to the absolute velocity of the wind (\vec v_{W}), measured in meters per second, plus the velocity of the helicopter relative to wind (\vec v_{H/W}), also call velocity at still air, measured in meters per second. That is:

\vec v_{H} = \vec v_{W}+\vec v_{H/W} (1)

In addition, vectors in rectangular form are defined by the following expression:

\vec v = \|\vec v\| \cdot (\cos \alpha, \sin \alpha) (2)

Where:

\|\vec v\| - Magnitude, measured in meters per second.

\alpha - Direction angle, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

Then, (1) is expanded by applying (2):

\vec v_{H} = \|\vec v_{W}\| \cdot (\cos \alpha_{W},\sin \alpha_{W}) +\|\vec v_{H/W}\| \cdot (\cos \alpha_{H/W},\sin \alpha_{H/W}) (3)

\vec v_{H} = \left(\|\vec v_{W}\|\cdot \cos \alpha_{W}+\|\vec v_{H/W}\|\cdot \cos \alpha_{H/W}, \|\vec v_{W}\|\cdot \sin \alpha_{W}+\|\vec v_{H/W}\|\cdot \sin \alpha_{H/W} \right)

If we know that \|\vec v_{W}\| = 25\,\frac{m}{s}, \|\vec v_{H/W}\| = 125\,\frac{m}{s}, \alpha_{W} = 240^{\circ} and \alpha_{H/W} = 325^{\circ}, then the resulting velocity of the helicopter is:

\vec v_{H} = \left(\left(25\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \cos 240^{\circ}+\left(125\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \cos 325^{\circ}, \left(25\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \sin 240^{\circ}+\left(125\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \sin 325^{\circ}\right)\vec v_{H} = \left(89.894\,\frac{m}{s}, -93.348\,\frac{m}{s}\right)

The resultant velocity of the helicopter is \vec v_{H} = \left(89.894\,\frac{m}{s}, -93.348\,\frac{m}{s}\right).

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

The magnitude of change in momentum is (2mv).

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is given by the product of mass and velocity with which it is moving.

Let the mass of ball is m. A tennis player smashes a ball of mass m horizontally at a vertical wall. The ball rebounds at the same speed v with which it struck the wall.

Initial speed of the ball is v and final speed, when it rebounds, is (-v). The change in momentum is given by :

p = final momentum - initial momentum

p=-mv-mv\\\\p=-2mv

So, the magnitude of change in momentum is (2mv).

Which statement explains the polarity of a water molecule?
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

D. The oxygen side is partially negative because electrons are pulled toward the oxygen side.

Explanation:

The water molecule is polar by the virtue of covalent bonds and the hydrogen bonds within and between its molecule.

The oxygen side is partially negative because the electrons are pulled toward the oxygen side.

Between oxygen and hydrogen that makes up the water molecule, oxygen is more electronegative.

An electronegative atom has more affinity for electrons. Since the electrons in the molecule of water is shared between hydrogen and oxygen, the more electronegative specie which is water draws the electron more to itself.

This leaves a net negative charge on the oxygen atom.

MAVERICK [17]
Except when necessary for takeoff and landing, <span>the minimum safe altitude required for a pilot to operate an aircraft over other than congested area is an altitude of 1000 ft above the highest obstacle within a 2000 ft horizontal radius of the aircraft.

It is also good to know that apart from taking off and landing, the aircraft must not operate at a distance less than 500 ft from any person, vessel, structure or vehicle.</span>
