An airplane is heading due south at a speed of 688 km/h. If a wind begins blowing from the southwest at a speed of 90.0 km/h (average), calculate (a) the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the plane relative to the ground and (b) how far from its intended position it will be after 11.0 min if the pilot takes no corrective action. [Hint: First, draw a diagram.]
Two vectors,and, add to a resultant. Describeandif (a), (b), and (c).
One ball is dropped vertically from a window. At the same instant, a second ball is thrown horizontally from the same window. Which ball has the greater speed at the ground level?
(a) The dropped ball
(b) The thrown ball
(c) Neither, as they both have the same speed on impact
(d) It depends on how hard the ball was thrown
A stunt driver wants to make his car jump over 8 cars parked side by side below a horizontal ramp (Fig. 3鈥41). (a) With what minimum speed must he drive off the horizontal ramp? The vertical height of the ramp is 1.5 m above the cars and the horizontal distance he must clear is 22 m. (b) If the ramp is now tilted upward, so that 鈥渢akeoff angle鈥 is 7.0掳 above the horizontal, what is the new minimum speed?
