Answer:

work

Explanation:

In physics, work is a term that measures the energy expended in a moving object; most commonly force times distance. No work is said to be done if the object does not move. However, during the process, a measure of energy is usually extracted in the process.

An airplane pilot wishes to fly due west. A wind of 80.0 km/h (about 50 mi/h) is blowing toward the south. (a) If the airspeed o

Answer:

a) 75.5 degree relative to the North in north-west direction

b) 309.84 km/h

Explanation:

a)If the pilot wants to fly due west while there's wind of 80km/h due south. The north-component of the airplane velocity relative to the air must be equal to the wind speed to the south, 80km/h in order to counter balance it

So the pilot should head to the West-North direction at an angle of

$cos(\alpha) = 80/320 = 0.25$

$\alpha = cos^{-1}(0.25) = 1.32 rad = 180\frac{1.32}{\pi} = 75.5^0$ relative to the North-bound.

b) As the North component of the airplane velocity cancel out the wind south-bound speed. The speed of the plane over the ground would be the West component of the airplane velocity, which is

$320sin(\alpha) = 320sin(75.5^0) = 309.84 km/h$
