The true speed and direction of the football thrown by the  quarterback is 30.185 mph and 9⁰ respectively.

<h3>Relative velocity of the football</h3>

The true speed and direction of the football is determined by applying the concept of relative velocity.

Vr/w = Vb - Vw

where;

  • Vr/w is the velocity of the football with respect to the wind
  • Vb is the velocity of the football
  • Vw is the velocity of the wind

Vr/w = 41 mph - 11 mph = 30 mph

The direction speed can be determined by sketching a triangle

Direction of the speed, θ = (360 - 339) - (180 - 168)

                                       θ = 21 - 12 = 9⁰

<h3>Resultant speed;</h3>

R² = 41² + 11² - 2(41 x 11 x cos9)

R² = 911.105

R = √911.105

R = 30.185 mph

Thus, the true speed and direction of the football thrown by the  quarterback is 30.185 mph and 9⁰ respectively.

The angle of elevation to the sun is 24°. What is the length of the shadow cast by a person 1.82 m tall? A. 0.81 m B. 1.99 m C.
Zanzabum

Answer:

C. 4.09 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the shadow cast by a person be x m.

\tan \: 24 \degree =  \frac{height \: of \: person}{length \: of \: the \: shadow}  \\  \\ 0.4452286853 =  \frac{1.82}{x}  \\  \\ x =  \frac{1.82}{0.4452286853}  \\  \\ x = 4.08778693 \: m \\ x = 4.09 \: m

<span>( 5, 2) and ( 6, 4)
slope m = (4-2)/(6-5) = 2

y = mx + b
b = y - mx
b = 2 - 2(5)
b = 2 - 10
b = -8

so now you have slope m = 2 and y intercept b = -8

equation
y = 2x - 8

answer

A 33 gram sample of a substance that's
Mazyrski [523]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  6.2

Step-by-step explanation:

We presume your "k-value" is the k in the exponential decay term ...

  e^(-kt) . . . where t is the number of time units

This is 1/2 when ...

  ln(1/2) = -kt

  t = ln(1/2)/(-k) = ln(2)/k

  t = 0.69315/0.1124 ≈ 6.2

The half life is about 6.2 time units.
