Answer:

38.5° north of east

Explanation:

Directly northwest is 135° from east.  If we say east is +x and north is +y, then the components of the acceleration are:

ax = 2.88 cos 135° ≈ -2.036 m/s²

ay = 2.88 sin 135° ≈ 2.036 m/s²

And the initial velocity is:

v₀x = 115 m/s

v₀y = 0 m/s

After, 25.0 seconds, the final velocity components are:

vx = at + v₀x

vx = (-2.036)(25.0) + 115

vx ≈ 64.1 m/s

vy = at + v₀y

vy = (2.036)(25.0) + 0

vy ≈ 50.9 m/s

The plane's direction is:

θ = atan(vy / vx)

θ = atan(50.9 / 64.1)

θ ≈ 38.5°

The direction of the plane's velocity is approximately 38.5° north of east.

If an 800.-kg sports car slows to 13.0 m/s to check out an accident scene and the 1200.-kg pick-up truck behind him continues tr
Alborosie

Answer: 20.2 m/s

Explanation:

From the question above, we have the following data;

M1 = 800kg

M2 = 1200kg

V1 = 13m/s

V2 = 25m/s

U (common velocity) =?

M1V1 + M2V2 = (M1 + M2). U

(800*13) + (1200*25) = (800+1200) * U

10400 + 30000 = 2000u

40400 = 2000u

U = 40400 / 2000

U = 20.2 m/s
