A plane leaves the airport in Galisteo and flies 170 km at 68.0° east of north; then it changes direction to fly 230 km at 36.0°

south of east, after which it makes an immediate emergency landing in a pasture. When the airport sends out a rescue crew, in which direction and how far should this crew fly to go directly to this plane?

Answer:

The direction will be 84.86^\circ and the distance 250.75km.

Explanation:

Let's say A is the displacement vector which represents the first 170km and B the one for the next 230km. Then the components of these vector will be:

A_x=170cos(68^{\circ})\\ A_y=170sin(68^\circ)\\\\B_x=230cos(-36^\circ)\\B_y=230sin(-36^\circ)

The vector which point from the origin to the final position of the plane will be R=A+B. We sum components on <em>x </em>and <em>y </em>independetly (vector property):

R_x=A_x+B_x=170cos(68^{\circ})+230cos(-36^\circ)=63.68km+186.07km=249.75km

R_y=A_y+B_y=170sin(68^\circ)+230sin(-36^\circ)=157.62km-135.19km=22.43km

If \theta is the direction of R then:

tan(\theta )=\frac{R_x}{R_y} ⇒ \theta = arctan(\frac{R_x}{R_y}) ⇒ \theta = 84.86^\circ.

The distance will be given by the magnitud of the vector R:

R=\sqrt{R_x^2 + R_y^2} ⇒ R=\sqrt{R_x^2 + R_y^2} = 250.75.

A 12 kg barrel is pulled up by a rope. The barrel accelerates at 1.2 m/s2. Find the force exerted by the rope. Show all your wor
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

F = 132N

Explanation:

Let the pulling force be F

Given the mass of the barrel is 12 Kg and The acceleration is 1.2 m/sec^2

We know that Net Force = mass\times acceleration

Now net force = F - mg

F - mg = ma

F = mg + ma

F = m(a+g) = 12\times (1.2 +9.8)=132N  

Note that there will be a downward force acting on the body which is equal to mg

when using parallax distance is calculated from the sun and not earth do you think this matters? explain your answer.
Elden [556K]

When using parallax, astronomers calculate distance from the sun and not earth to improve on the accuracy of their measurement, since parallax angle decreases as star distance increases.

<h3>What is parallax distance?</h3>

Parallax enables astronomers to measure the distances of far away stars by using trigonometry.

<h3>Why does astronomers measure parallax distance from sun?</h3>

As the distance of star increases, the parallax angle decreases, and great degree of accuracy is required for its measurement.

So taking a refence from the earth instead of the sun will impact the accuracy of their measurement.

Thus, when using parallax, astronomers calculate distance from the sun and not earth to improve on the accuracy of their measurement, since parallax angle decreases as star distance increases.

Suppose you "dig a hole" 52 feet deep and place a baseball machine in the hole, so that the balls fire out at 96 ft /s and land
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

76.73 ft/s

Explanation:

Let the final velocity is v.

initial velocity, u = 96 ft/s

g = 32 ft/s²

height, h = 52 feet

use third equation of motion

v² = u² - 2 gh

v² = 96 x 96 - 2 x 32 x 52

v = 76.73 ft/s

Thus, the speed of the ball as it reaches the ground is 76.73 ft/s.
