Answer:

V_{A/E}=55.23km/h\\or\\V_{A/E}=15.342m/s

Explanation:

The velocity of plane relative to earth is given by:

V_{P/E}=\frac{d}{t}\\V_{P/E}=\frac{[-121i-20j]km}{0.490h}  \\V_{P/E}=[-247i-41j]km/h

As the from given data.The velocity of plane relative to air is:

V_{P/A}=[-210i]km/h

According to relative motion of velocity of the air relative to earth given by:

V_{A/E}=V_{P/E}-V_{P/A} \\V_{A/E}=[(-247i-41j)km/h]-(-210i)km/h\\V_{A/E}=[-37i-41j]km/h\\

The magnitude is given as:

V_{A/E}=\sqrt{(37)^{2}+(41)^{2}  }\\ V_{A/E}=55.23km/h\\or\\V_{A/E}=15.342m/s

Answer:

55km/h , 47.87° south west or 227.87°

Explanation:

If there is no wind then the plane would be at a distance

d=(210 km/h)(0.49h) = 102.9 km west of the starting point.

if the wind is blown then then the plane is 121 km - 102.9 km = 18.1 km west and 20 km south in the time 0.49 h.

Velocity of the plane in west direction=(18.1 km) / 0.49 h = 36.9 km/h

velocity of the plane in south direction=(20 km) / 0.49 h = 40.8 km/h

Now the wind velocity is

\sqrt{(36.9^2 + 40.8^2}

= 55.01 km/h

The direction is

θ =tan⁻¹ (40.8 / 36.9)

θ = 47.87° south west or 227.87°

A river flows due east at 1.70 m/s. A boat crosses the river from the south shore to the north shore by maintaining a constant v
ad-work [718]

Answer:

a)

v = 14.1028 m/s  

∅ = 83.0765° north of east

b)

the required distance is 40.98 m

Explanation:

Given that;

velocity of the river u = 1.70 m/s

velocity of boat v = 14.0 m/s

Now to get the velocity of the boat relative to shore;

( north of east), we say

a² + b² = c²

(1.70)² + (14.0)² = c²

2.89 + 196 = c²

198.89 = c²

c = √198.89

c = 14.1028 m/s  

tan∅ = v/u = 14 / 1.7 =  8.23529

∅ = tan⁻¹ ( 8.23529 ) = 83.0765° north of east

Therefore, the velocity of the boat relative to shore is;

v = 14.1028 m/s  

∅ = 83.0765° north of east

b)  

width of river = 340 m,

ow far downstream has the boat moved by the time it reaches the north shore in meters = ?

we say;

340sin( 90° - 83.0765°)

⇒ 340sin( 6.9235°)

= 40.98 m

Therefore, the required distance is 40.98 m

You are walking from your math class to your science class. You are carrying books
kolezko [41]

Answer:

1800J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Weight of the book  = 20N

Total distance covered  = 45m + 15m + 30m  = 90m

Unknown:

Total work performed on the books  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem we must understand that work done is the force applied to move a body through a certain distance.

So;

    Work done  = Force x distance

  Work done  = 20 x 90  = 1800J
