What is the resultant speed of the ferry?
Q. A ferry with a velocity of 10.0 m/s travels from one side of the river to the other side at a point directly across. When a current is flowing down the river, the ferry's captain directs the boat at an angle up river so that the ferry arrives at the correct landing point. If the speed of the river water is 2.00 m/s, what is the resultant speed of the ferry?

Find the resultant speed and direction of the airplane. (pre-cal)?
Q. An airplane has an airspeed of 700 km per hour at a bearing of 60 degress. The wind velocity is 30 km per hour from the west. Find the resultant speed and direction of the airplane.
Asked by Vicky W - Mon Jan 21 02:38:16 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. ok, at 60 degrees, the sin is (sqroot3)/2 (approx 0.866), and the cosine is 1/2 (exactly 0.5). multiply those by the speed of the airplane to get the components operating in the N/S and E/W direction. We get 606.22 for the sine (north) and 350 for the cosine(east). Now, if the wind is from the west, it is going east, so that increases the eastward component to 350 + 30 = 380 Using the Pythagorean theorem and the new components, we get (380)^2 + (606.22)^2 = (newspeed)^2 or 367500 + 144400 = x^2 511900 = x^2 so x = sqroot 511900 = approx 715.47 sory it took so long to get to it, and Hope that helps ya!

A. Boat in still water. North component = 10cos(30) = 5SQRT(3) West component = 10sin(30) = 5 Set up a coordinate system so that X is East and Y is North. So the above vector is: V = -5i + 5SQRT(3)j Now do the flow of the water in this same coordinate system. W = SQRT(2)i - SQRT(2)j Now just add these vectors. a. Vector Speed = V + W Vector Speed = [SQRT(2) - 5]i + [5SQRT(3) - SQRT(2)]j This is the vector speed so find the magnitude: Speed = SQRT{ [SQRT(2) - 5]^2 + [5SQRT(3) - SQRT(2)]^2} Speed = SQRT{2 + 25 - 10SQRT(2) + 75 + 2 - 10SQRT(6)} Speed = SQRT{104 - 10SQRT(2) - 10SQRT(6) } Speed = SQRT{65.363 } Speed = 8.085 b. The wind is 4j so add this to the vector in "a". Vector Speed = [SQRT(2) - 5]i + [4 + 5SQRT(3) - SQRT(2)]j And… [cont.]

Asked by Lynn - Sun Sep 13 13:56:59 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. If the car has a constant speed ( read constant velocity) then the acceleration is 0. If the acceleration is 0, then there is no resultant force acting on the car. You can derive this from the Newton 11 equation: Force (resultant) = mass * acceleration. If acceleration is 0, mass * acceleration = 0. Therefore the resultant force = 0

A. F = m (v1 - v0)/dt; where m = 1000 slugs, v1 = 20 fps, v0 = 0, and dt = 10 sec. Thus the continuous force of acceleration over the ten second interval is F = 1000*(20 - 0)/10 = 2000 lbs.

Asked by Sanny C - Fri Oct 24 03:19:17 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You must use the cosine rule. c^2=a^2+b^2-(2abcosC). Angel between North and southwest is 135. c^2 = 20^2+120^2-(2x20x120cos13 5) c^2= 18194.11255 c= 134.89 km/h That would be the air speed but i am not sure what you mean by resultant velocity. If you want ground speed then it would be 106.8 km/h. To do it you would need to find the vertical and horizontal velocity of the Southwest wind. You minus the vertical velocity (14.14) from 120 then use a^2+b^2=c^2 to solve it.

Asked by pat m - Sun Dec 21 13:54:56 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You are right on target except in the heading department. The compass uses due North as a heading of zero degrees and then the numbers increase as you turn to the right. So 90 degrees is East, 180 degrees is South and West is 270 degrees. So your resultant direction of the airplane would lie between West and South. Your 4.29 degrees needs to be subtracted from the airplanes heading of 270 degrees to give a direction of 265.71 degrees. The same would also apply in the case of a boat or any vehicle using a compass for navigation. Hope this helps. gl

A. (a) You need to divide the River width by the speed of odject in the still water to see the time taken to cross the river. Although the current is pushing you down, the time taken to cross the river is the same (b) multiply the river speed by the time taken to go down stream (c) this will be more clear if you draw a triangle indicating the distance traveled downstream and river width then use Pythagorus to calculate the third side to get the magnitude for someone on shore observing. The direction should be North-East.

Is it possible that lighter objects fall faster than heavier ones in a vacuum?
Q. On one hand, some say that the force acting on heavier objects are greater. However, their inertia is also greater. Therefore, the resultant speed is the same. On the other hand, some argue that the acceleration acting on it is the same anytime. Therefore, the resultant speed is also the same. Since it is true they have greater inertia and the acceleration on it is always the same, could it be that heavier objects fall slower than lighter objects?
