An airplane undergoes the following displacements, all at the same altitude: First, it flies 59.0 km in a direction 30.0° east o

f north. Next, it flies 58.0 km due south. Finally, it flies 100 km 30.0° north of west. Use components to determine how far the airplane ends up from its starting point.A) 70.1 km B) 71.5 km C) 68.7 km D) 74.4 km E) 73 km

Answer:

B) 71.5 [km]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we will decompose each of the directions in the x & y axes.

To solve this problem we will decompose each of the directions in the x & y axes. also for a greater understanding of the angles, you should look at the attached image, which contains the orientations for each angle (clockwise or counterclockwise).

<u>59.0 km in a direction 30.0° east of north</u>

<u />

d_{1x}= 59*sin(30) = 29.5[km]\\d_{1y}= 59*cos(30) = 51.09[km]

<u>58.0 km due south</u>

<u />

d_{2y} = - 58 [km]\\

<u>It flies 100 km 30.0° north of west</u>

<u />

<u />d_{3x}= - 100*cos(30) = -86.6[km]\\d_{3y} = 100*sin(30)= 50 [km]<u />

<u />

Now we sum algebraically the components

d_{x}=29.5-86.6 = -57.1[km]\\d_{y}=51.09 -58+50=43.09[km]\\\\

Using the Pythagorean theorem we can find the magnitude of the displacement.

d = \sqrt{(57.1)^{2} +(43.09)^{2} } \\d= 71.53[km]

arlik [135]

Answer:

How much force is required to cause an object with a mass of 850 kg to accelerate at a rate of 2 meters per second squared (m/s^2)?

Explanation:

<em>1700N </em>

<em> Mass multiplied by acceleration gives you the amount of force needed for it.</em>

Plz help..During takeoff a plane accelerates at 4m/s^2 and takes 40s to reach takeoff speed.
matrenka [14]

Answer:

The velocity of the plane at take off is 160 m/s.

The distance travel by the plane in that time is 3200 meter.

Explanation:

Given:

Acceleration, a = 4 m/s²

Time, t = 40 s

u = 0 i .e initial velocity

To Find:

velocity , v = ?

distance , s =?

Solution:

we have first Kinematic equation

v = u + at

∴ v = 0 + 4×40

∴ v = 160 m/s

Now by Third Kinematic equation

s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

∴ s = 0 + 0.5 × 4× 40²

∴ s = 3200 meter
