An airplane pilot wishes to fly due west. A wind of 80.0 km/h (about 50 mi/h) is blowing toward the south. (a) If the airspeed o

f the plane (its speed in still air) is 320.0 km/h (about 200 mi/h), in which direction should the pilot head? (b) What is the speed of the plane over the ground? Draw a vector diagram.

Answer:

a) 75.5 degree relative to the North in north-west direction

b) 309.84 km/h

Explanation:

a)If the pilot wants to fly due west while there's wind of 80km/h due south. The north-component of the airplane velocity relative to the air must be equal to the wind speed to the south, 80km/h in order to counter balance it

So the pilot should head to the West-North direction at an angle of

cos(\alpha) = 80/320 = 0.25

\alpha = cos^{-1}(0.25) = 1.32 rad = 180\frac{1.32}{\pi} = 75.5^0 relative to the North-bound.

b) As the North component of the airplane velocity cancel out the wind south-bound speed. The speed of the plane over the ground would be the West component of the airplane velocity, which is

320sin(\alpha) = 320sin(75.5^0) = 309.84 km/h

Answer:

a) Ф=14°, north of west

b) 310 km/h

Explanation:

we have,

v_{p/G}, velocity of plane relative to the ground(west)

v_{p/A},velocity of plane relative to the air(320 km/h)

v_{A/G},velocity of air relative to the ground(80 km/h, due south).

                 v_{p/G}=v_{p/A}+v_{A/G}.........(1)

a)     sin(Ф)=\frac{v_{A/G}}{v_{p/A}}

                 =\frac{80km/h}{320km/h}              

Ф=14°, north of west

b)    using Pythagorean theorem

v_{p/G}=\sqrt{v^2_{p/A}+v^2_{A/G}}

v_{p/G}=310 km/h

A 2.1 ✕ 103-kg car starts from rest at the top of a 5.9-m-long driveway that is inclined at 19° with the horizontal. If an avera
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

3.9 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of car,m=2.1\times 10^3 kg

Initial velocity,u=0

Distance,s=5.9 m

\theta=19^{\circ}

Average friction force,f=4.0\times 10^3 N

We have to find the speed of the car at the bottom of the driveway.

Net force,F_{net}=mgsin\theta-f=2.1\times 10^3\times 9.8sin19-4.0\times 10^3

Where g=9.8 m/s^2

Acceleration,a=\frac{F_{net}}{m}=\frac{2.1\times 10^3\times 9.8sin19-4.0\times 10^3}{2.1\times 10^3}

v=\sqrt{2as}

v=\sqrt{2\times \frac{2.1\times 10^3\times 9.8sin19-4.0\times 10^3}{2.1\times 10^3}\times 5.9}

v=3.9 m/s
