Solución
Alright, I need to solve this problem involving the speed of an F4 jet fighter relative to the ground and relative to another fighter, the Mig-21. Let's break it down step by step.
First, let's understand the given information:
- **F4 Jet Fighter:**
- **Speed:** 2370 km/h
- **Direction:** N 30° E
- **Wind:**
- **Speed:** 80 km/h
- **Direction:** W 40° S
- **Mig-21 Fighter:**
- **Direction:** N 45° E
**Part a) Speed of F4 relative to the ground:**
To find the speed of the F4 jet relative to the ground, I need to consider both the speed of the jet and the speed of the wind. Since the wind is blowing from the west (W) at 40° south, it's coming from the southwest direction.
First, let's convert all directions to standard compass directions for clarity:
- **F4 Jet:** N 30° E → This means the jet is heading 30 degrees east of north.
- **Wind:** W 40° S → This means the wind is blowing from the west at 40 degrees south of west.
Now, to find the resultant speed relative to the ground, I'll use vector addition. The jet's velocity vector and the wind's velocity vector can be broken down into their respective components (east-west and north-south).
Let's define the coordinate system:
- **East (E) as the positive x-axis**
- **North (N) as the positive y-axis**
**Calculating Components:**
1. **F4 Jet:**
- **Speed:** 2370 km/h
- **Direction:** N 30° E
- **Components:**
- **East (x):** 2370 * cos(30°)
- **North (y):** 2370 * sin(30°)
2. **Wind:**
- **Speed:** 80 km/h
- **Direction:** W 40° S
- **Components:**
- **East (x):** -80 * cos(40°) (negative because it's from the west)
- **North (y):** -80 * sin(40°) (negative because it's from the south)
**Calculating the Components:**
1. **F4 Jet:**
- **East (x):** 2370 * cos(30°) ≈ 2370 * 0.866 ≈ 2046.2 km/h
- **North (y):** 2370 * sin(30°) ≈ 2370 * 0.5 ≈ 1185 km/h
2. **Wind:**
- **East (x):** -80 * cos(40°) ≈ -80 * 0.766 ≈ -61.28 km/h
- **North (y):** -80 * sin(40°) ≈ -80 * 0.643 ≈ -51.44 km/h
**Resultant Velocity Components:**
- **East (x):** 2046.2 - 61.28 ≈ 1984.92 km/h
- **North (y):** 1185 - 51.44 ≈ 1133.56 km/h
**Calculating the Resultant Speed:**
Using the Pythagorean theorem:
\[
\text{Resultant Speed} = \sqrt{(1984.92)^2 + (1133.56)^2} ≈ \sqrt{3,940,000 + 1,284,000} ≈ \sqrt{5,224,000} ≈ 2285.6 \text{ km/h}
\]
So, the speed of the F4 jet relative to the ground is approximately **2285.6 km/h**.
**Part b) Speed of F4 relative to Mig-21:**
Now, I need to find the speed of the F4 jet relative to the Mig-21 fighter. Both fighters are moving, so I'll need to consider their relative velocities.
First, let's determine the velocity vectors for both fighters.
**Mig-21 Fighter:**
- **Speed:** Let's assume the Mig-21 has a speed of \( v \) km/h.
- **Direction:** N 45° E
**Calculating Components for Mig-21:**
- **East (x):** \( v \times \cos(45°) \)
- **North (y):** \( v \times \sin(45°) \)
**Relative Velocity:**
To find the relative velocity of F4 with respect to Mig-21, I'll subtract the Mig-21's velocity vector from the F4's velocity vector.
\[
\text{Relative Velocity} = \text{F4 Velocity} - \text{Mig-21 Velocity}
\]
**Calculating Components:**
- **East (x):** \( 1984.92 - v \times \cos(45°) \)
- **North (y):** \( 1133.56 - v \times \sin(45°) \)
**Resultant Relative Speed:**
\[
\text{Relative Speed} = \sqrt{(1984.92 - v \times \cos(45°))^2 + (1133.56 - v \times \sin(45°))^2}
\]
However, without knowing the speed of the Mig-21 (\( v \)), I can't compute a numerical value for the relative speed. If the Mig-21's speed is provided, I can plug it into the equation to find the exact relative speed.
**Conclusion:**
- **F4 Jet Speed Relative to Ground:** Approximately **2285.6 km/h**
- **Relative Speed of F4 to Mig-21:** Cannot be determined without the Mig-21's speed.
