an airplane flew for one hour and landed 100 miles north and 80 miles east from its origin. what was the distance traveled, speed and angle of direction from its origin?

Respuesta :

The distance traveled by airplane is 180 miles.

The speed of the airplane is 3 miles per minute and the angle of direction from the origin is 51.34°

The airplane landed 100 miles north and 80 miles east from its origin and it flew for one hour.

Then, the total distance traveled by airplane will be:

= 100 miles + 80 miles = 180 miles.

The speed can be defined as the distance traveled by the total time taken.

Speed = distance/time

Speed = 180 miles/ 1 hour

Speed = 180 miles/60 minutes

Speed = 3 miles per minute

The angle of direction from its origin will be:

tan (x) = 100 miles/80 miles

x = tan⁻¹ ( 100/80)

x = tan⁻¹ ( 10/8) =  tan⁻¹ ( 5/4)

x = 51.34°
