Question 1 (1 point)
1 answer:
Answer:
The resultant velocity of the plane relative to the ground is;
150 kh/h north
Explanation:
The flight speed of the plane = 210 km/h
The direction of flight of the plane = North
The speed at which the wind is blowing = 60 km/h
The direction of the wind = South
Therefore, representing the speed of the plane and the wind in vector format, we have;
The velocity vector of the plane = 210.
The velocity vector of the wind = -60.
Where, North is taken as the positive y or direction
The resultant velocity vector is found by summation of the two vectors as follows;
Resultant velocity vector = The velocity vector of the plane + The velocity vector of the wind
Resultant velocity vector = 210. + (-60.
) = 210.
- 60.
= 150.
The resultant velocity vector = 150.
Therefore, the resultant velocity of the plane relative to the ground = 150 kh/h north.

Answer:
a = - 11.53[m/s^2]
Explanation:
The airplane slows down as its speed decreases from the initial value of 610 [m/s] to zero.
To calculate the acceleration value we use the following kinematics equation:
where:
Vf = final velocity = 0
Vi = initial velocity = 610 [m/s]
a = acceleration [m/s2]
t = time = 53 [s]
Now replacing:
0 = 610 + (a*53)
-610 = 53*a
a = - 11.53[m/s^2]
The negative sign means that the aircraft is losing speed, i.e. slowing down
