Answer:

The resultant velocity of the helicopter is \vec v_{H} = \left(89.894\,\frac{m}{s}, -93.348\,\frac{m}{s}\right).

Explanation:

Physically speaking, the resulting velocity of the helicopter (\vec v_{H}), measured in meters per second, is equal to the absolute velocity of the wind (\vec v_{W}), measured in meters per second, plus the velocity of the helicopter relative to wind (\vec v_{H/W}), also call velocity at still air, measured in meters per second. That is:

\vec v_{H} = \vec v_{W}+\vec v_{H/W} (1)

In addition, vectors in rectangular form are defined by the following expression:

\vec v = \|\vec v\| \cdot (\cos \alpha, \sin \alpha) (2)

Where:

\|\vec v\| - Magnitude, measured in meters per second.

\alpha - Direction angle, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

Then, (1) is expanded by applying (2):

\vec v_{H} = \|\vec v_{W}\| \cdot (\cos \alpha_{W},\sin \alpha_{W}) +\|\vec v_{H/W}\| \cdot (\cos \alpha_{H/W},\sin \alpha_{H/W}) (3)

\vec v_{H} = \left(\|\vec v_{W}\|\cdot \cos \alpha_{W}+\|\vec v_{H/W}\|\cdot \cos \alpha_{H/W}, \|\vec v_{W}\|\cdot \sin \alpha_{W}+\|\vec v_{H/W}\|\cdot \sin \alpha_{H/W} \right)

If we know that \|\vec v_{W}\| = 25\,\frac{m}{s}, \|\vec v_{H/W}\| = 125\,\frac{m}{s}, \alpha_{W} = 240^{\circ} and \alpha_{H/W} = 325^{\circ}, then the resulting velocity of the helicopter is:

\vec v_{H} = \left(\left(25\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \cos 240^{\circ}+\left(125\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \cos 325^{\circ}, \left(25\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \sin 240^{\circ}+\left(125\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \sin 325^{\circ}\right)\vec v_{H} = \left(89.894\,\frac{m}{s}, -93.348\,\frac{m}{s}\right)

The resultant velocity of the helicopter is \vec v_{H} = \left(89.894\,\frac{m}{s}, -93.348\,\frac{m}{s}\right).

Oxana [17]
It is true because <span>A pyramid of biomass is a representation of the amount of energy contained in biomass, at different trophic levels for a given point in time . The amount of energy available to one trophic level is limited by the amount stored by the level below. Because energy is lost in the transfer from one level to the next, there is successively less total energy as you move up trophic levels. Tree is a base as it provides food and energy.</span>

A beam of electrons passes through a single slit, and a beam of protons passes through a second, but identical, slit. The electr
ryzh [129]

Answer:

(b) The electrons, because they have the smaller momentum and, hence, the larger de Broglie wavelength

Explanation:

de Broglie wavelength λ = h / m v

Since both electrons and protons have same velocity , momentum mv will be less for electrons because mass of electron is less .

for electron , momentum is less so  . Therefore de Broglie wavelength λ will be more for electrons .

Amount of diffraction that is angle of diffraction is proportional to λ

Therefore electrons having greater de Broglie wavelength will show greater diffraction.
