Answer:
South-West direction
Explanation:
Let be velocity of the plane relative to the air,
be velocity of the air relative to the ground,
is the velocity of the plane relative to the ground
therefore,
From the triangle attached, the angle characteristics to the direction of relative velocity of the plane can be found
South-West direction
This question is incomplete, the complete question is;
Write the differential equation that governs the motion of the damped mass-spring system, and find the solution that satisfies the initial conditions specified. Units are mks; γ is the damping coefficient, with units of kg/sec
m = 0.2, γ = 1.6 and k = 4
Initial displacement is 1 and initial velocity is -2
x" + _____ x' ____x = 0
x(t) =
Answer:
the solution that satisfies the initial conditions specified is;
x(t) = +
Explanation:
Given the data in the question ;
m = 0.2, γ = 1.6, k = 4
x(0) = 1, x'(0) = -2
Now, the differential equation that governs the motions of spring mass system is;
mx" + γx' + kx = 0
so we substitute
0.2x" + 1.6x' + 4x = 0
divide through by 0.2
x" + 8x' + 20x = 0
hence, characteristics equation will be;
m² + 8m + 20 = 0
we find m using; x = [ -b±√(b² - 4ac) ] / 2a
m = [ -8 ± √((8)² - 4(1 × 20 )) ] / 2(1)
m = [ -8 ± √( 64 - 80 ) ] / 2
m = [ -8 ± √-16 ) ] / 2
m = ( -8 ± 4i ) / 2
m = -4 ± 2i
Hence, the general solution of the differential equation is;
x(t) = +
From the initial conditions;
c₁ = 1, c₂ = 1
the solution that satisfies the initial conditions specified is;
x(t) = +
