An airplane pilot sets a compass course due west and maintains an airspeed of 220Km/h. After flying for 0.500h, she finds herself over a town 120Kmwest and role="math" localid="1659537807621" 20Kmsouth of her starting point. (a) Find the wind velocity (magnitude and direction). (b) If the wind velocity is 40Km/hdue south, in what direction should the pilot set her course to travel due west? Use the same airspeed of 220Km/h.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The MagnitudeVA/E=44.7Km/hand direction of wind velocity is role="math" localid="1659538867639" 63.4south of west .

(b) The course should be set by the pilot towards 10.5north of west.

Step by step solution

01

Relative velocity formula

From the formula of relative velocity of any object,

If any object P is moving related to A and A is moving related to E, then the velocity of P related to E is,

VP/E=VP/A+VA/E

For horizontal motion, localid="1659538616006">VP/Ah=-220Km/h

For vertical motion,VP/Av=0Km/h

02

Given

For horizontal motion,

VP/Ah=-220Km/h

For vertical motion,

VP/Av=0Km/h

03

(a) Wind velocity magnitude and direction

The wind velocities for horizontal and vertical motion are respectively,

VP/Eh=-1200.500Km/hVP/Eh=-240Km/h(west)VP/Ev=-200.500Km/hVP/Ev=-40Km/h(south)

With the given information the following figure can be drawn

From both the horizontal component of velocity that is VP/Ah=-220Km/hand VP/Eh=-240Km/h(west)

VP/Eh=VP/Ah+VA/EhVP/Eh=-240Km/h-(-220Km/h)VP/Eh=-20Km/h

The vertical components of velocity VP/AV=0Km/hand VP/EV=-40Km/h(south)

localid="1659540728505" VP/EV=VP/AV+VA/EVVA/EV=-40Km/h-(-0Km/h)VA/EV=-40Km/h

Now the velocity magnitude will be

localid="1659540477517" VA/E=VA/EV2+VA/Eh2VA/E=-40Km/h2+-20Km/h2VA/E=44.7Km/h

The angle or direction will be,

tan=-40Km/h-20Km/h=63.4

The MagnitudeVA/E=44.7Km/hand direction of wind velocity is 63.4south of west .

04

(b) the direction in which the pilot should set her course

According to vector rule,

VP/E=VP/A+VA/E

VP/AandVA/Eare 220Km/hand40Km/h(south)

The vector diagram of will be and the direction will be at right angle as shown in figure

From the above figure,

sin=VA/EVP/Esin=40Km/h220Km/h=10.5

The course should be set by the pilot toward 10.5snorth of west.

An astronaut has left the International Space Station to test a new space scooter.

Her partner measures the following velocity changes, each taking place in a 10-sinterval.

What are the magnitude, the algebraic sign, and the direction of the average acceleration in each interval?

Assume that the positive direction is to the right.

(a) At the beginning of the interval, the astronaut is moving toward the right along the x-axis at 15.0m/s, and at the end of the interval she is moving toward the right at5.0m/s .

(b) At the beginning she is moving toward the left atrole="math" localid="1655276110547" 5.0m/s , and at the end she is moving toward the left at 15.0m/s.

(c) At the beginning she is moving toward the right at , and at the end she is moving toward the left atrole="math" localid="1655276636193" 15.0m/s .

A medical technician is trying to determine what percentage of a patient鈥檚 artery is blocked by plaque. To do this, she measures the blood pressure just before the region of blockage and finds that it is 1.20104Pa, while in the region of blockage it is role="math" localid="1668168100834" 1.15104Pa. Furthermore, she knows that blood flowing through the normal artery just before the point of blockage is traveling at 30.0 cm/s, and the specific gravity of this patient鈥檚 blood is 1.06. What percentage of the cross-sectional area of the patient鈥檚 artery is blocked by the plaque?

Air traffic controllers give instructions called 鈥渧ectors鈥 to tell airline pilots in which direction they are to fly. If these are the only instructions given, is the name 鈥渧ector鈥 used correctly? Why or why not?

You are on the roof of the physics building, 46.0mabove the ground (Fig. P2.70). Your physics professor, who is1.80mtall, is walking alongside the building at a constant speed of1.20m/s. If you wish to drop an egg on your professor鈥檚 head, where should the professor be when you release the egg? Assume that the egg is in free fall.

(Fig. P2.70)

Hot Jupiters. In 2004 astronomers reported the discovery of a large Jupiter-sized planet orbiting very close to the star HD179949 (hence the term 鈥渉ot Jupiter鈥). The orbit was just19 the distance of Mercury from our sun, and it takes the planet only3.09days to make one orbit (assumed to be circular). (a) What is the mass of the star? Express your answer in kilograms and as a multiple of our sun鈥檚 mass. (b) How fast (in km>s) is this planet moving?
