Answer:

B) 71.5 [km]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we will decompose each of the directions in the x & y axes.

To solve this problem we will decompose each of the directions in the x & y axes. also for a greater understanding of the angles, you should look at the attached image, which contains the orientations for each angle (clockwise or counterclockwise).

59.0 km in a direction 30.0° east of north

$d_{1x}= 59*sin(30) = 29.5[km]\\d_{1y}= 59*cos(30) = 51.09[km]$

58.0 km due south

$d_{2y} = - 58 [km]\\$

It flies 100 km 30.0° north of west

$d_{3x}= - 100*cos(30) = -86.6[km]\\d_{3y} = 100*sin(30)= 50 [km]$

Now we sum algebraically the components

$d_{x}=29.5-86.6 = -57.1[km]\\d_{y}=51.09 -58+50=43.09[km]\\\\$

Using the Pythagorean theorem we can find the magnitude of the displacement.

$d = \sqrt{(57.1)^{2} +(43.09)^{2} } \\d= 71.53[km]$

nolan ryan has the record for having the speediest fastball in baseball. he could pitch one at 148 i/sec. what is that speed in

Klio2033 [76]

The speed of the ball is 101miles/hr.

A mile is a unit of length that is exactly 1,609.344 metres long. Similarly, 5,280 feet or 1,760 yards make up one mile. The mile is an imperial and common US measurement of distance.

We just have to deal with unit conversions.

One mile is 5280 feet, or 1 ft = 0.000189

The speed of the ball in miles per hour is

$\frac{148ft}{1sec} . \frac{1mile}{5280ft} .\frac{60s}{1min} .\frac{60min}{1hr}$

So, the speed of the ball in miles per hour is 101miles/hr.

Which color is in the middle of the light spectrum?

Elanso [62]

Well, with the light spectrum there technically is no middle color. Both green and yellow meet up in the middle at 560 nm (wavelength interval) and 540 THz (frequency interval).
