Answer:
83.2 m/s to the West
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Mass of plane = 180 Kg
Mass of pilot = 70 Kg
Momentum = 20800 Kg∙m/s West
Velocity =?
Next, we shall determine the total mass. This can be obtained as follow:
Mass of plane = 180 Kg
Mass of pilot = 70 Kg
Total mass =?
Total mass = Mass of plane + Mass of pilot
Total mass = 180 + 70
Total mass = 250 Kg
Finally, we shall determine the velocity. This can be obtained as follow:
Total mass = 250 Kg
Momentum = 20800 Kg∙m/s West
Velocity =?
Momentum = mass × Velocity
20800 = 250 × Velocity
Divide both side by 250
Velocity = 20800 / 250
Velocity = 83.2 m/s West
Thus, the velocity of both plane and pilot is 83.2 m/s to the West
