A pilot in a small plane encounters shifting winds. He flies 26.0 km northeast, then 45.0 km due north. From this point, he flie

s an additional distance in an unknown direction, only to find himself at a small airstrip that his map shows to be 70.0 km directly north of his starting point.

Answer:

a) v₃ = 19.54 km, b)  70.2º north-west

Explanation:

This is a vector exercise, the best way to solve it is finding the components of each vector and doing the addition

vector 1 moves 26 km northeast

let's use trigonometry to find its components

         cos 45 = x₁ / V₁

         sin 45 = y₁ / V₁

         x₁ = v₁ cos 45

         y₁ = v₁ sin 45

         x₁ = 26 cos 45

         y₁ = 26 sin 45

         x₁ = 18.38 km

         y₁ = 18.38 km

Vector 2 moves 45 km north

        y₂ = 45 km

Unknown 3 vector

          x3 =?

          y3 =?

Vector Resulting 70 km north of the starting point

           R_y = 70 km

we make the sum on each axis

X axis

      Rₓ = x₁ + x₃

       x₃ = Rₓ -x₁

       x₃ = 0 - 18.38

       x₃ = -18.38 km

Y Axis

      R_y = y₁ + y₂ + y₃

       y₃ = R_y - y₁ -y₂

       y₃ = 70 -18.38 - 45

       y₃ = 6.62 km

the vector of the third leg of the journey is

         v₃ = (-18.38 i ^ +6.62 j^ ) km

let's use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length

         v₃ = √ (18.38² + 6.62²)

         v₃ = 19.54 km

to find the angle let's use trigonometry

           tan θ = y₃ / x₃

           θ = tan⁻¹ (y₃ / x₃)

           θ = tan⁻¹ (6.62 / (- 18.38))

           θ = -19.8º

with respect to the x axis, if we measure this angle from the positive side of the x axis it is

          θ’= 180 -19.8

          θ’= 160.19º

I mean the address is

          θ’’ = 90-19.8

          θ = 70.2º

70.2º north-west

If the kinetic energy of the 40kg box is 784 J, what is the velocity before it strikes the ground?
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

784=\frac{1}{2}(40)v^2

784=20v^2

39.2=v^2

v=6.26m/s

Traveling in circle requires a net force
seraphim [82]

Answer:

<u><em>Circular motion requires a net inward or "centripetal" force. Without a net centripetal force, an object cannot travel in circular motion. In fact, if the forces are balanced, then an object in motion continues in motion in a straight line at constant speed.</em></u>
