a) total displacement = 2313 km in the north direction
average velocity = total displacement/total time taken
average velocity = 2313/5 km/hr
average velocity = 462.6 km/hr in north direction
b)
average speed = total distance/total time
average speed = 2313/5
average speed = 462.6 km/hr
An airplane flying directly northward at a constant speed travels 2,313 km in 5 hr a)...
An airplane flies at a speed of 300 km/h directly northward relative to the air. The wind is blowing at 20m/s toward the southwest. What is the velocity of the plane relative to the ground? Please provide a diagram.
Consider an airplane that has an air speed of 120 km/hr flying with its nose pointing north with a 90 km/hr cross-wind blowing from the west. Show that the ground speed of the airplane is 150 km/hr. In what direction is the net result of the plane’s vector pointing?
An airplane with a ground speed of 550 km/hr travels along a heading of 30 degrees N of W. At that high altitude there is a powerful 210 km/hr wind (known as the jet stream) 40 degrees south of west. Determine the direction that the pilot is aiming the plane.
A race car travels northward on a straight, level track at a constant speed, traveling 0.937 km in 12.1 sec. The return trip over the same track is made in 26 sec. (a) What is the average velocity of the car for the FIRST leg of the trip? (b) What is the average velocity of the car for the SECOND leg of the trip? (c) What is the average velocity of the car for the WHOLE trip? Part Answer Units...
A rescue airplane is flying in the horizontal direction with a speed of 904 km/hr at a height of 372 m to drop food for two starving hikers. How far ahead should the pilot release the care package straight down so that it lands right next to the hikers? (in m)
An airplane with a ground speed of 550 km/hr travels along a heading of 30 degrees N of W. At that high altitude there is a powerful 210 km/hr wind (known as the jet stream) 40 degrees south of west. Determine the direction that the pilot is aiming the plane. Could you please find the solution using vector addition and the cosine law. This is for my senior year physics class, and any extra descriptions of what you are doing...
The pilot of an airplane with a speed of 280 km/hr relative to the air, wishes to fly due east from the city A to city B. If a 35 km/hr wind blows from the south to the north, and the distance between the cities is 1, 500 km, A) what is the velocity ( magnitude and direction) of the plane relative to the ground, B) how long will the trip take?
Question 19 > An airplane is heading north at an airspeed of 800 km/hr, but there is a wind blowing from the southeast at 40 km/hr. The plane will end up flying degrees off course The plane's speed relative to the ground will be km/hr
A small airplane is flying at a constant altitude with a ground speed of 75 m/s. The pilot needs to reach a point exactly 100 km north of her current location. However, there is a cross wind blowing at 20 m/s in a direction 30 degrees north of east. a. In what direction should the pilot point the plane so that she arrives at her destination as directly as possible. b. How long does it take to complete this part...
3. An airplane flying horizontally at height 3 km with speed 120 km/h sees an oncoming car. When the distance between the plane and the car is 5 km, and is decreasing at a rate 160 km/hour, find the speed of the car at this time.
