An airplane flies between two points on the ground that are 500 km apart. The destination is directly north of the origination o

f the flight. The plane flies with an air speed of 120 m/s. If a constant wind blows at 10.0 m/s due west during the flight, what direction must the plane fly relative to north to arrive at the destination? Consider: east to the right, west to the left, north upwards and south downwards

Answer:

   θ = 4.78º

with respect to the vertical or 4.78 to the east - north

Explanation:

This is a velocity compound exercise since it is a vector quantity.

The plane takes a direction, the air blows to the west and the result must be to the north, let's use the Pythagorean theorem to find the speed

                  v_fly² = v_nort² + v_air²

                  v_nort² = v_fly² + - v_air²

Let's use trigonometry to find the direction of the plane

        sin θ = v_air / v_fly

        θ = sin⁻¹ (v_air / v_fly)

         

let's calculate

        θ = sin⁻¹ (10/120)

         θ = 4.78º

with respect to the vertical or 4.78 to the north-east

Newton’s 2nd law states that Force is equal to the product of mass (m) and acceleration (a):

F = m a                                  ---> 1

While in magnetic forces, force can also be expressed as:

F = q v B                               ---> 2

where,

q = total charge

v = velocity = 45 cm / s = 0.45 m / s

B = the magnetic field = 85 T

First we solve for the total charge, q:

q = 3.8 × 10^-23 g (1 mol / 23 g) (6.022 × 10^23 electrons / mol) (1.602 × 10^-19 C / electron)

q = 1.594 × 10^-19 C

 

We equate equations 1 and 2 then solve for acceleration a:

m a = q v B

a = q v B / m

a = [1.594 × 10^-19 C * 0.45 m / s * 85 T] / 3.8 × 10-26 kg

a = 160,437,862.2 m/s^2

 

Therefore the maximum acceleration of Na ions is about 160 × 10^6 m/s^2.

Using the

Answer:

The principle of momentum conservation states that if there no external force the total momentum of the system before and after the collision is conserved.

Since momentum is a vector, we should investigate the directions and magnitudes of initial and final momentum.

\vec{P}_{initial} = \vec{P}_{final}\\\vec{P}_{initial} = m_1\vec{v}_1 + 0\\\vec{P}_{final} = m_1\vec{v}_1' + m_2 \vec{v}_2'

If the first ball hits the second ball with an angle, we should separate the x- and y-components of the momentum (or velocity), and apply conservation of momentum separately on x- and y-directions.
