The Airbus A350 from Manila bound for St. Petersburg cannot travel in a straight route due to weather disturbances and some restrictions in the air space. Instead, it travelled at a velocity of 740 kph due 25° NNE, then it turned towards East at a velocity of 870 kph. After that, at a velocity of 900 kph, it ventured 35° WNW, then it turned 50° South of West maintaining the same velocity of 900 kph. Finally, to reach its destination, it needs to turn towards west at a velocity of 350 kph. Find the magnitude and direction of the resultant of the airplane’s velocity during its flight.

On October 14, 2012, Felix Baumgartner became the first human being to break the soundbarrier while falling freely. He jumped from a capsule that was lofted by a balloon to analtitude of 127,852 ft (38.96 km). The speed of sound at that altitude is 690 mi/h.(a) Assuming that air friction (drag) is negligible at such altitudes, how far would he haveto fall to reach the speed of sound? (The approximation for the gravitational potentialenergy near the Earth’s surface, Ug ≈ mgy, is accurate to better than 1% even at suchaltitudes. Track units carefully, though!). Draw energy bar charts of your system atthe start of Felix’s jump and when he reaches the speed of sound to support youranswer.(b) Friction is not negligible, even at this altitude. Baumgartner actually reached thespeed of sound at an altitude of 109,731 ft (33.45 km). What fraction of the system’schange in gravitational energy was converted to thermal energy (mostly thermal energyin the air) by the time Baumgartner reached the…
