I need help, worth 40 Points! A plane flies due north (90° from east) with a velocity of 100 km/h for 3 hours. During this time, a steady wind blows southeast at 30 km/h at an angle of 315° from due east. After 3 hours, where will the plane’s position be relative to its starting point?

*Please try to fill the data table.

Split up the two given velocity vectors into horizontal and vertical components.

Plane:

p = (100 km/h) (cos(90°) i + sin(90°) j ) = (100 km/h) j

Its direction is given, 90° relative to east.

Traveling for 3 hours with this velocity results in a displacement of

p * (3 h) = (300 km/h) (3h) j = (900 km) j

meaning that this velocity contributes to a north-facing displacement of 900 km.

Wind:

w = (30 km/h) (cos(315°) i + sin(315°) j ) ≈ (21.2 km/h) i + (-21.2 km/h) j

Its direction is also given, 315° relative to east.

After 3 h, this velocity contributes to a displacement of

w * (3h) ≈ (63.6 km) i + (-63.6 km) j

meaning if the plane had no velocity of its own but somehow stayed in the air, the wind would have pushed it about 63.6 km south and 63.6 km east, which translates to a net displacement of

√((63.6 km)² + (-63.6 km)²) = 90 km

due southeast.

Putting everything together, your table displacement table should read:

.                       |   wind   |   plane

velocity           |   30      |   100       ...   km/h

direction         |   90°     |   315°      ...   relative to east

x                      |   63.6   |   0           ...   km

y                      |  -63.6   |   900      ...   km

The resultant vector is the sum of these, r = p + w :

r ≈ (21.2 km/h) i + (78.8 km/h) j

After 3 h, the resultant displacement is

r * (3h) ≈ (63.6 km) i + (236.4 km) j

with magnitude

√((63.6 km)² + (236.4 km)²) ≈ 244.8 km

and direction θ such that

tan(θ) ≈ (236.4 km) / (63.6 km)

θ ≈ arctan(3.714) ≈ 74.9°

So the resultant table should read

xnet             |   63.6 km

ynet             |   236.4 km

magnitude   |   244.8 km

theta            |   74.9° relative to east

elly's long hair:

a. if the salon only takes cash, then this isn't the problem. it doesn't matter how much she has in her checking account.   she can't get a haircut until she has the cash.

b. if she has overdraft protection, then there's no problem.   she can go ahead and write a check that her account can't cover, then sometime later, pay the bank some outrageous usury for loaning her a few bucks for a few days, but with beautiful hair.

c. if elly has some principles, and doesn't want to write a bad check, then now she has a problem.   her desire for the new hairstyle is in conflict with her honesty and integrity.

d.   if the bank will not process a check she writes, then even if she had a million $$ in her account, she couldn't use any of it.   the amount she has in her account is not the problem.   and if i may suggest, she might as well close her checking account, and put the money where it'll work for her.   it's not doing her a bit of good in a checking account, since she can't write any checks.

justin can't pay the full balance:

a. he can't even handle the credit limit he has now.   under no circumstances should he ask for a higher limit.

b.   he can ask for the grace period to be extended.   but that's no solution, the bank will almost certainly refuse anyway, and there are much better options.   he knew the rules of his credit card when he started using it.

c.   he definitely should pay the interest on the balance, plus as much of the balance as he can cover at the same time.

d.   he definitely should pay the minimum otherwise they could shut down his card.   he should also pay as much more as he possibly can.   he should also remember the awkward situation he's in, stop buying stuff on credit that he can't afford, and avoid adding any more debt.

i'd say that justin's best best option isn't on this list of choices.   what he has to do:   pay as much as he can at least the minimum payment plus as much more as he can and then avoid adding more debt.
