13. An aircraft heads North at 320 km/h rel:
1 answer:
The velocity of the aircraft relative to the ground is 240 km/h North
Explanation:
We can solve this problem by using vector addition. In fact, the velocity of the aircraft relative to the ground is the (vector) sum between the velocity of the aircraft relative to the air and the velocity of the air relative to the ground.
Mathematically:
where
v' is the velocity of the aircraft relative to the ground
v is the velocity of the aircraft relative to the air
is the velocity of the air relative to the ground.
Taking north as positive direction, we have:
v = +320 km/h
(since the air is moving from North)
Therefore, we find
(north)

Initial speed of car A,
Initial speed of car Z,
Final speed of car A after the collision,
We need to find the velocity of car Z after the collision. Let it is equal to . Using the conservation of momentum as :
So, the velocity of car Z after the collision is (-12 m/s). Hence, this is the required solution.
