<span>Find the wind speed and the plane's airspeed.
:
Let s = speed of the plane in still air
Let w = speed of the wind
then
(s-w) = plane speed against the wind
and
(s+w) = plane speed with the wind
:
Change 3 3/8 hrs to 3.375 hrs
:
The trips there and back are equal distance, (1890 mi) write two distance equations
dist = time * speed
:
3.375(s-w) = 1890
3.0(s + w) = 1890
:
It is convenient that we can simplify both these equations:
divide the 1st by 3.375
divide the 2nd by 3
resulting in two simple equations that can be used for elimination of w
s - w = 560
s + w = 630
----------------adding eliminates w, find s
2s = 1190
s =
s = 595 mph is the plane speed in still air
Find w
595 + w = 630
w = 630 - 595
w = 35 mph is the wind spee</span>
First we look for the angle of the vector, which will be given by:
tan (x) = (- 2/3)
Clearing x we have:
x = ATAN (-2/3) = - 33.69 degrees.
Which means that the angle is 33.69 degrees measured clockwise from the x axis.
Equivalently the angle is
360-33.69 = 326.31 degrees
326.31 degrees measured counterclockwise from the x axis.
The vector is then:
v = 10 (cos (326.31) i + sin (326.31) j)
answer
v = 10 (cos (326.31) i + sin (326.31) j)
Yes I worked it in my brain hahahahahah
The correct answer would be, 300,060,520
The furnished apartment would be $760 altogether whereas the furnished apartment would be $1,800
