A commuter airplane starts from an airport and takes theroute. The plane first flies to city A, located 175 km away in a directi

on 30.0° north of east. Next, it flies for 150 km 20.0° west of north, to city B. Finally, the plane flies 190 km due west, to city C. Find the location of city C relative to the location of the starting point.

Answer:

245.45km in a direction 21.45° west of north from city A

Explanation:

Let's place the origin of a coordinate system at city A.

The final position of the airplane is given by:

rf = ra + rb + rc    where ra, rb and rc are the vectors of the relative displacements the airplane has made. If we separate this equation into its x and y coordinates:

rfX = raX+ rbX + rcX = 175*cos(30)-150*sin(20)-190 = -89.75km

rfY = raY + rbY + rcT = 175*sin(30)+150*cos(20) = 228.45km

The module of this position is:

rf = \sqrt{rfX^2+rfY^2} = 245.45km

And the angle measure from the y-axis is:

\alpha =atan(rfX/rfY) = 21.45\°

So the answer is 245.45km in a direction 21.45° west of north from city A

No. Terrance cannot move the sled. This is because, the force that he produces is 80*3 Newton’s, which is only 240 Newton’s, but since the sled needs a force of 250 Newton’s, he cannot move the sled (even though the difference is only by 10 Newton’s).
