(b) Fig. 1.1 shows two airports A and C. north SE с sea land क WE not to scale Fig. 1.1 An aircraft flies due north from A for a distance of 360 km (3.6 x 105 m) to point B. Its average speed between A and B is 170ms-1. At B the aircraft is forced to change course and flies due east for a distance of 100 km to arrive at C. (0) Calculate the time of the journey from A to B.​

Sagot :

The addition of vectors and the uniform motion allows to find the answers for the questions about distance and time are:

  • The distance to go between airports A and C  is 373.6 10³ m
  • The time to go from airport A to B is 2117 s

Vectors are quantities that have modulus and direction, so their addition must be done using vector algebra.

In this case the plane flies towards the North a distance of y = 360 10³ m at an average speed of v = 170 m / s, when arriving at airport B it turns towards the East and travels from x = 100 10³ m, until' it the distance reaches the airport C

Let's use the Pythagoras' theorem to find the distance traveled

               R = [tex]\sqrt{x^2 +y^2}[/tex]

               R = 373.6 10³ m

They indicate the average speed for which we can use the uniform motion ratio

               v = [tex]\frac{\Delta y }{t}[/tex]

                t = [tex]\frac{\Delta y}{v}[/tex]

They ask for the time in in from airport A to B, we calculate

                t = 360 10³/170

                t = 2.117 10³ s

In conclusion we use the addition of vectors the uniform motion we can find the answer for the question of distance and time are:

  • The distance to go between airports A and C B is 373.6 10³ m
  • The time to go from airport A to B is 2117 s
