A jet fighter flies from the airbase A 300 km East to the point M. Then 350 km at 30° West of North.
It means : at 60° North of West. So the distance from the final point to the line AM is :
350 · cos 60° = 350 · 0.866 = 303.1 km
Let`s assume that there is a line N on AM.
AN = 125 km and NM = 175 km.
And finally jet fighter flies 150 km North to arrive at airbase B.
NB = 303.1 + 150 = 453.1 km
Then we can use the Pythagorean theorem.
d ( AB ) = √(453.1² + 125²) = √(205,299.61 + 15,625) = 470 km
Also foe a direction: cos α = 125 / 470 = 0.266
α = cos^(-1) 0.266 = 74.6°
90° - 74.6° = 15.4°
Answer: The distance between the airbase A and B is 470 km.
Direction is : 15.4° East from the North.
Answer:
a) 4.31 m/s²
b) 215.5 m
Explanation:
a) According to Newton's first law of motion
The net force applied to particular mass produced acceleration, a, according to
F = ma
F = 140 N
m = 32.5 kg
a = ?
140 = 32.5 × a
a = 140/32.5 = 4.31 m/s²
b) Using the equations of motion, we can obtain the distance travelled by the object in t = 10 s
u = initial velocity of the probe = 0 m/s (since it was initially at rest)
a = 4.31 m/s²
t = 10 s
s = distance travelled = ?
s = ut + at²/2
s = 0 + (4.31×10²)/2 = 215.5 m
Answer:
Average speed is total distance divided by total time.
v = d / t
