a plane is flying at 290km/h [E 42° S] relative to the air when the wind velocity is 65km/h [E 25° N]. Calculate the velocity of the plane relative to the ground

Respuesta :

Answer:

320 km/h [E 31° S]

Explanation:

"E 42° S" means "east, 42° south", or 42° south from east.

"E 25° N" means "east, 25° north", or 25° north from east.

Taking east to be +x and north to be +y, the horizontal component of the velocity is:

vₓ = 290 cos (-42°) + 65 cos 25°

vₓ = 274 km/h

And the vertical component of the velocity is:

vᵧ = 290 sin (-42°) + 65 sin 25°

vᵧ = -167 km/h

The magnitude is found with Pythagorean theorem:

v² = vₓ² + vᵧ²

v² = (274)² + (-167)²

v = 320 km/h

And the direction is found with trig:

θ = atan(vᵧ / vₓ)

θ = atan(-167 / 274)

θ = -31°

Therefore, the plane's velocity relative to the ground is 320 km/h [E 31° S].

The change of displacement with respect to time is defined as the velocity.  The velocity of the plane relative to the ground will be 320 km/h [E 31° S]

What is velocity?

The change of displacement with respect to time is defined as the velocity.  velocity is a vector quantity. it is a time-based component.

Velocity at any angle is resolved to get its component of x and y-direction.

The given data in the problem is;

"E 42° S" stands for "east, 42 degrees south," or 42 degrees south of east.

"East, 25° north" or "25° north from the east" is what "E 25° N" signifies.

The following assumptions are taken for the direction purpose i.e. east as +x and north as +y

The horizontal component of the velocity is found by;

[tex]\rm v_x = 290 cos (-42^0) + 65 cos 25^0 \\\\\ \rm v_x = 274 km/h[/tex]

The velocity's vertical component is :

[tex]\rm v_ y = 290 sin (-42^0) + 65 sin 25^0 \\\\ \rm v_y = -167 km/h[/tex]

The Pythagorean theorem is used to calculate the magnitude:

[tex]\rm v=\sqrt{274^2+(-167)^2} \\\\ \rm v=320\ km/h[/tex]

The direction is found using the trigonometric formula;

[tex]\rm \theta = tan^-1( \frac{v_y}{v_x} )\\\\ \rm \theta = tan^-1( \frac{-167}{274} ) \\\\ \rm \theta =-31^0[/tex]

Hence The velocity of the plane relative to the ground will be 320 km/h [E 31° S]
