Answer:
Final Speed of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson = 15.812 m/s
Explanation:
Let's start out with finding the force acting downwards because of the mass of 'The Rock':
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson: 118kg x 9.81m/s = 1157.58 N
Now the problem also states that the kinetic friction of the desk in this problem is 370 N
Since the pulley is smooth, the weight of Dwayne Johnson being transferred fully, and pulls the desk with a force of 1157.58 N. The frictional force of the desk is resisting this motion by a force of 370 N. Subtracting both forces we get the resultant force on the desk to be: 1157.58 - 370 = 787.58 N
Now lets use F = ma to calculate for the acceleration of the desk:
787.58 = 63 x acceleration
acceleration = 12.501 m/s
Finally, we can use the motion equation:
here u = 0 m/s (since initial speed of the desk is 0)
a = 12.501 m/s
and s = 10 m
Solving this we get:
Since the desk and Mr. Dwayne Johnson are connected by a taught rope, they are travelling at the same speed. Thus, Dwayne also travels at 15.812 m/s when the desk reaches the window.
Answer:
The true course: north of east
The ground speed of the plane: 96.68 m/s
Explanation:
Given:
= velocity of wind =
= velocity of plane in still air =
Assume:
= resultant velocity of the plane
= direction of the plane with the east
Since the resultant is the vector addition of all the vectors. So, the resultant velocity of the plane will be the vector sum of the wind velocity and the plane velocity in still air.
Let us find the direction of this resultant velocity with respect to east direction:
This means the the true course of the plane is in the direction of north of east.
The ground speed will be the magnitude of the resultant velocity of the plane.
Hence, the ground speed of the plane is 96.68 km/h.
