Answer to Question #80022 in Mechanics | Relativity for mohammed

Question

a) Aircraft ‘A’ travels at a velocity of 300 km/h in a direction 600 South of East. The wind direction is due North with a velocity of 70 km/h. Determine the resultant velocity of the aircraft.

b) Aircraft ‘B’ is sighted from A and travels at a velocity of 200 km/h in a direction 300 east of north and crosses this path at a point 2.5 Km ahead. Find the relative velocity of B with respect to A and what will be their closest distance of approach.

c) Draw the space diagram and velocity vector diagram for both the cases.
