Lindsay has to fly this plane towards this direction [W 12.5° S] to get to Hamilton.

From this question, the plane is still up in the air.

We have wind blowing in [W 60° N ]

To solve the problem we have to make use of the sine rule

\frac{SinA}{a}=\frac{SinB}{b} =\frac{SinC}{c}

We put the values in the equation, we have:

50/Sinθ = 200/sin60°

The next step is to cross multiply

50 x sin60° = 200Sinθ

50 x 0.8660 = 200sinθ

We make Sin θ the subject

Sine θ = 43.30/200

sine θ = 0.2165

we find the value of θ

θ = sine⁻¹(0.2165)

θ = 12.50

So Lindsay has to fly this plane towards this direction

[W 12.5° S]

Answer:

Lindsay is planning a flight from St. Catherines to Hamilton, which lies due west of St. Catharines. Her aircraft flies at a speed of 200 km/h in still air. A wind of 50.0 km/h is blowing from [W 60.0� N]. In what direction must she aim the airplane to fly directly to Hamilton?

------------

It's a triangle problem.

The long side is the 200 km/hr, at an angle to be determined.

-----

1 side is 50 km/hr at an angle of -60 degs or 300 degs.

The 3rd side's length is not known, but it's at an angle of 180 degs (along the x-axis).

Find the time it takes for each object to accelerate from 0m/s to 40 m/s when pushed with 100N of force
Ivan

Answer:

40s

Explanation:

Given:

F=100N

V=40m/s and 0

force=change in momenton

F=mv-mu

t=40(100-0)/100

t=40/1

t=40s

A snowball with a mass of 85 g hits the top hat of a 1.5 m tall snowman and sticks to it. the hat and the snowball, with a combi
LenaWriter [7]
Part (a): Velocity of the snowball
By conservation of momentu;
m1v1 + m2v2 = m3v3,

Where, m1 = mass of snowball, v1, velocity of snowball, m2 = mass of the hat, v2 = velocity of the hat, m3 = mass of snowball and the hat, v3 = velocity of snowball and the hut.

v2 = 0, and therefore,
85*v1 + 0 = 220*8 => v1 = 220*8/85 = 20.71 m/s

Part (b): Horizontal range
x = v3*t
But,
y = vy -1/2gt^2, but y = -1.5 m (moving down), vy =0 (no vertical velocity), g = 9.81 m/s^2

Substituting;
-1.5 = 0 - 1/2*9.81*t^2
1.5 = 4.905*t^2
t = Sqrt (1.5/4.905) = 0.553 seconds

Then,
x = 8*0.553 = 4.424 m

In three sentences, please describe SIMPLE HARMONIC motion, and give two examples. Thank you! :-)
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
A system that repeats to and from its mean or rest point. that executes harmonic motion. a few examples I've heard of are since the springtime a mass-spring system,a swing, simple pendulum, one more example is a steel ball rolling in a curved is this what you need or do you need three more sentences dish. to get S.H.M a body just displaced away from the resting position and of course then is released. the human body oscillates due to the reinforce that pulls it back do you need anything else answered on this and I'll answer it
