All objects in orbit must follow the path of an ellipse (one of Keplers laws)
Answer:
θ = 4.78º
with respect to the vertical or 4.78 to the east - north
Explanation:
This is a velocity compound exercise since it is a vector quantity.
The plane takes a direction, the air blows to the west and the result must be to the north, let's use the Pythagorean theorem to find the speed
v_fly² = v_nort² + v_air²
v_nort² = v_fly² + - v_air²
Let's use trigonometry to find the direction of the plane
sin θ = v_air / v_fly
θ = sin⁻¹ (v_air / v_fly)
let's calculate
θ = sin⁻¹ (10/120)
θ = 4.78º
with respect to the vertical or 4.78 to the north-east
Answer:
1.8 m/s
Explanation:
momentum = mass × velocity
initial momentum = m1v1+m2v2
= 3×3 +2×0 = 9+0= 9 kg m/s
let combined velocity be V
HENCE
final momentum = total mass × velocity
= (3+2) × V = 5V
According to law of conservation of momentum
final momentum = initial momentum
5V = 9
V =9/5
V = 1.8 m/s
