Ship A is located 3.90 km north and 2.50 km east of ship B. Ship A has a velocity of 21.0 km/h toward the south and ship B has a

velocity of 40.0 km/h in a direction 37.0° north of east. What are the (a) x-component and (b) y-component of the velocity of A relative to B? (Axis directions are determined by the unit vectors i and j, where i is toward the east.) (c) At what time is the separation between the ships least? (d) What is that least separation?

Answer:

a) Vx = -31.95 km/h       b) Vy = -45.07 km/h

c) t = 0.083 h                 d) d = 0.22 km

Explanation:

First we have to express these values as vectors:

ra = (2.5, 3.9) km      rb = (0,0)km

Va = (0, - 21) km/h    Vb = (31.95, 24.07) km/h

Now we can calculate relative velocity:

V_{A/B} = V_{A} - V_{B} = (0, -21) - (31.95, 24.07) = (-31.95, -45.07) km/h

For parts (c) and (d) we need the position of A relative to B and the module of the position will be de distance.

r_{A/B} = (2.5, 3.9) + (-31.95, -45.07) * t

d = |r_{A/B}| = \sqrt{(2.5 -31.95*t)^{2}+(3.9-45.07*t)^{2}}

In order to find out the minimum distance we have to derive and find t where it equals zero:

d' = \frac{-2*(2.5-31.95*t)*(-31.95)-2*(3.9-45.07*t)*(-45.07)}{2*\sqrt{(2.5 -31.95*t)^{2}+(3.9-45.07*t)^{2}}} =0

Solving for t we find:

t = 0.083 h

Replacing this value into equation for d:

d = 0.22 km

Why don't the planets move exactly along the ecliptic?
AVprozaik [17]
As seen from the Earth, the Sun, Moon, and planets all appear to move along the ecliptic. ... Unlike the Sun, however, the planets don't always move in the same direction along the ecliptic. They usually move in the same direction as the Sun, but from time to time they seem to slow down, stop, and reverse direction!

Because of various events in their (unknown) past history that resulted in deviations from the theoretical orbit. That formed in the plain of the ecliptic.

Capturing a large passing comet or asteroid might do it.

Ans: Beat Frequency = 1.97Hz

Explanation:
The fundamental frequency on a vibrating string is 

f =   \sqrt{ \frac{T}{4mL} }<span>  -- (A)</span>

<span>here, T=Tension in the string=56.7N,
L=Length of the string=0.66m,
m= mass = 8.3x10^-4kg/m * 0.66m = 5.48x10^-4kg </span>


Plug in the values in Equation (A)

<span>so </span>f = \sqrt{ \frac{56.7}{4*5.48*10^{-4}*0.66} }<span> = 197.97Hz </span>

<span>the beat frequency is the difference between these two frequencies, therefore:
Beat frequency = 197.97 - 196.0 = 1.97Hz
