Two planes A and B can each fly through still air at 550 mph. The distance from Paris to Los Angeles is 5000 miles. Wind blows f

rom Los Angeles towards Paris at a speed of 100 mph. Plane A leaves Paris at noon flying towards Los Angeles. Plane B departs Los Angeles 1 hour later to fly to Paris. How far from Los Angeles are the two planes when they pass each other?

Answer:2688.63 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The distance from Paris to Los Angeles $d=5000 miles$

Wind traveling at 100 mph from Los Angeles to Paris

The velocity of the plane through still air is $v=550 mph$

Relative velocity of Plane A is $v_a=550-100 =450 mph$ since Plane A is heading against the wind

Relative velocity of Plane B is $v_b=550+100=650 mph$

Plane A departs at noon

Distance covered by Plane A in 1 hour $=450\times 1=450 miles$

The total separation distance between the planes is $5000-450=4550 miles$

Assuming they meet after t hours

Distance covered by Plane B in that time frame $=v_b\times t=650\times t$

Distance traveled by Plane A in t hours is $=v_a\times t=450 t$

The total distance equals 4550 miles

$4550=650t+450t$

$t=\frac{4550}{1100}$

$t=4.13 hr$

Distance traveled by B is $=650\times 4.136=2688.63 miles$

thus, they meet at a point 2688.63 miles away from Los Angeles.

Evaluate ∫SF⃗ ⋅dA⃗ , where F⃗ =(bx/a)i⃗ +(ay/b)j⃗ and S is the elliptic cylinder oriented away from the z-axis, and given by x2/

Respuesta:

Por lo tanto, la integral de superficie es $\pi(a^2+b^2)c-0-0=\pi(a^2+b^2)c$ .

Explicación paso a paso:

La función dada es,

$\vec{F}=\frac{bx}{a}\uvec{i}+\frac{ay}{b}\uvec{j}$

Para encontrar,

$\int\int_{S}\vec{F}dS$

donde S=A=superficie del cilindro elíptico debemos aplicar el teorema de divergencia, así que,

$\int\int_{S}\vec{F}dS$

$=\int\int\int_V\nabla.\vec{F}dV$

$=\int\int\int_V(\frac{b}{a}+\frac{a}{b})dV$

$=\frac{a^2+b^2}{ab}\int\int\int_VdV$

$=\frac{a^2+b^2}{ab}\times \textit{Volume of the elliptic cylinder}$

$=\frac{a^2+b^2}{ab}\times \pi ab\times 2c=\pi (a^2+b^2)c$

Si el vector unitario $\cap{n}$ está dirigido en dirección positiva (hacia afuera), entonces z=c y,

$\int\int_{S_1}\vex{F}.dS_1=\int\int_{S_1}. dA$

$=\int\int_{S_1}.dA=0$

Si el vector unitario $\cap{n}$ está dirigido en dirección negativa (hacia adentro), entonces z=-c y,

$\int\int_{S_2}\vex{F}.dS_2=\int\int_{S_2}. -dA$

$=\int\int_{S_2}. -dA=0$

Por lo tanto, la integral de superficie sin el vector unitario de la superficie es,

$\pi(a^2+b^2)c-0-0=\pi(a^2+b^2)c$
