Question

Two air craft P and Q are flying at the same speed 300m/s. The direction along which P is flying is at right angles to the direction along which Q is flying. Find the magnitude of velocity of the air craft P relative to air craft Q

Answer 1

Answer:

424.26 m/s

Explanation:

Given that Two air craft P and Q are flying at the same speed 300m/s. The direction along which P is flying is at right angles to the direction along which Q is flying. Find the magnitude of velocity of the air craft P relative to air craft Q

The relative speed will be calculated by using pythagorean theorem

Relative speed = sqrt(300^2 + 300^2)

Relative speed = sqrt( 180000 )

Relative speed = 424.26 m/s

Therefore, the magnitude of velocity of the air craft P relative to air craft Q is 424.26 m/s
