Answer:

154° at 195 km/h

Explanation:

The helicopter is moving south at 175 km/h, relative to the wind.

But the wind is moving east at 85 km/h, relative to the ground.

This means that the helicopter is moving south east relative to the ground.

Every hour, the helicopter will move 175 km to the south and 85 km to the east, relative to the ground.

This means that we can determine the speed and direction of the helicopter using a right triangle and simple trigonometry.

Refer to the triangle b1.

The distance traveled by the helicopter in 1 hour is denoted by d.

d is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we can calculate d to be 195 km (rounded to 3 s. f.)

Hence the helicopter is traveling at 195 km/h relative to the ground.

To calculate the direction we use,

tan (x) = opposite/adjacent = 85/175

So the angle x is,

x = arctan (\frac{85}{175} ) = 25.9°

Relative to the North, the helicopter is moving at 180° - 25.9° = 154° (rounded to 3 s. f.)

This time particle A starts from rest and accelerates to the right at 65.5 cm/s
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

t = 4 s

Explanation:

As we know that the particle A starts from Rest with constant acceleration

So the distance moved by the particle in given time "t"

d = v_i t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

d = 0 + \frac{1}{2}(65.5)t^2

d_1 = 32.75 t^2 cm

Now we know that B moves with constant speed so in the same time B will move to another distance

d_2 = 44 \times t

now we know that B is already 349 cm down the track

so if A and B will meet after time "t"

then in that case

d_1 = 349 + d_2

32.75 t^2 = 349 + 44 t

on solving above kinematics equation we have

t = 4 s

A ball is dropped from the top of a building.After 2 seconds, it’s velocity is measured to be 19.6 m/s. Calculate the accelerati
zlopas [31]

Answer:

acceleration, a = 9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

'A ball is dropped from the top of a building' indicates that the initial velocity of the ball is zero.

u = 0 m/s

After 2 seconds, velocity of the ball is 19.6 m/s.

t = 2s, v = 19.6 m/s

Using

v = u + at

19.6 = 0 + 2a

a = 9.8 m/s²
