Answer:

The magnitude of actual velocity is <u>496.67 mph</u> and its direction is <u>51.54° with the x axis in the third quadrant</u>.

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of jumbo jet in southwesterly direction (v_j) = 550 mph

Velocity of jet stream from west to east direction (v_s)=80\ mph

First let us draw a vectorial representation of the above velocity vectors.

Consider the south direction as negative y axis and west direction as negative x axis.

From the diagram,

The velocity of the jet can be represented as:

\vec{v_j}=-550\cos(45)\vec{i}+(-550\sin(45)\vec{j} )\\\\\vec{v_j}=-388.91\vec{i}-388.91\vec{j}\ mph

Similarly, the velocity of the stream is, \vec{v_s}=80\vec{i}

Now, the vector sum of the above two vectors gives the actual velocity of the aircraft. So, the resultant velocity is given as:

\vec{v}=\vec{v_j}+\vec{v_s}\\\\\vec{v}=-388.91\vec{i}-388.91\vec{j}+80\vec{i}\\\\\vec{v}=(-388.91+80)\vec{i}-388.91\vec{j}\\\\\vec{v}=(-308.91)\vec{i}-388.91\vec{j}

Now, magnitude is given as the square root of sum of the squares of the 'i' and 'j' components. So,

|\vec{v}|=\sqrt{(-308.91)^2+(-388.91)^2}\\\\|\vec{v}|=496.67\ mph

As the horizontal and vertical components of actual velocity negative, the resultant vector makes an angle \theta with the x axis in the third quadrant.

The direction is given as:

\theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{v_y}{v_x})\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{-388.91}{-308.91})\\\\\theta=51.54\°(Third\ quadrant)

Therefore, the magnitude of actual velocity is 496.67 mph and its direction is 51.54° with the x axis in the third quadrant.

A 230 kg steel crate is being pushed along a cement floor. The force of friction is 480 N to the left and the applied force is 1
tamaranim1 [39]
The acceleration would be 6m/sThis is because of the formula, "f/m=a" to find the acceleration; We would need to subtract the force of the friction which equals 1380, then divide that by the mass (which was 230) to get the answer 6

Find the equilibrant of two 10.0-N forces acting upon a body when the angle between the forces is 90° Solve graphically using a
bazaltina [42]

The equilibrant force of the two given forces is 14.14 N.

<h3 /><h3 /><h3>What is equilibrant force?</h3>
  • This is a single force that balances other given forces.

The given parameters:

  • First force, F₁ = 10 N
  • Second force, F₂ = 10 N
  • Angle between the forces, θ = 90⁰

The equilibrant force of the two given forces is calculated as follows;

F = \sqrt{F_1 ^2 + F_2 ^2} \\\\F = \sqrt{(10)^2 + (10)^2} \\\\F = 14.14 \ N

Thus, the equilibrant force of the two given forces is 14.14 N.

Answer:

Period is 86811.5 seconds.

Explanation:

{ \boxed{ \bf{T {}^{2} =  (\frac{4 {\pi}^{2} }{GM}) {r}^{3}   }}}

{ \tt{T {}^{2}  =  \frac{4 {(3.14)}^{2} }{(6.6 \times  {10}^{ - 11} ) \times (5.98 \times  {10}^{24} )} \times  {((35880\times  {10}^{3}) } + (6370 \times  {10}^{3} )) {}^{3}   }} \\  \\ { \tt{T {}^{2}  =  7.54 \times {10}^{9} }} \\ { \tt{T =  \sqrt{7.54 \times  {10}^{9} } }} \\ { \tt{T = 86811.5 \: seconds}}
