a)
Initial velocity of Phyllis, u = 0
Consider v as the final velocity.
Acceleration, a = 2.35 m/s2
Distance travelled, s = 1500 m
Using the formula, v2 - u2 = 2as
v2 = 0 + 2 x 2.35 x 1500
= 7050
v = SQRT[7050]
= 83.96 m/s
Initial velocity of Joey, u' = 0
Consider v as the final velocity.
Acceleration, a' = 1.95 m/s2
Distance travelled, s' = 2050 m
Using the formula, v'2 - u'2 = 2a's'
v'2 = 0 + 2 x 1.95 x 2050
= 7050
v' = SQRT[7995]
= 89.41 m/s
b)
ajp - acceleration of joey with respect to Phyllis
ajg - acceleration of joey with respect to ground = - 1.95 cos(25)
+ 1.95 sin(25)
apg - acceleration of Phyllis with respect to ground = - 2.35
cos(47)
- 2.35 sin(47)
agp - acceleration of ground with respect to Phyllis = -apg
ajp = ajg + agp
= ajg - apg
= (- 1.95 cos(25)
+ 1.95 sin(25)
) - (- 2.35 cos(47)
- 2.35 sin(47)
)
= -0.16
+ 2.54
|ajp| = SQRT[(-0.16)2 + (2.54)2]
= 2.55 m/s2
c)
Vpj - velocity of Phyllis with respect to Joey
Vpg - velocity of Phyllis with respect to ground = - 83.96 cos(47)
- 83.96 sin(47)
Vjg - velocity of Joey with respect to ground = - 89.41 cos(25)
+ 89.41 sin(25)
Vgj - velocity of ground with respect to Joey = -apg
Vpj = Vpg + Vgj
= Vpg - Vjg
= (- 83.96 cos(47)
- 83.96 sin(47)
) - (- 89.41 cos(25)
+ 89.41 sin(25)
)
= 23.77
+ 99.20
|Vpj| = SQRT[(23.77)2 + (99.20)2]
= 102 m/s
d)
We need the initial distance between the runways.
Two friends, Phyllis and Joey, arruve together to an airport before their respective flights are leaving....
