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.

Gold, which has a mass of 19.32 g for each cubic centimeter of volume, is the most ductile metal and can be pressed into a thin
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

area = 5733.33  cm²

length = 5.47 ×10^{7} cm

Explanation:

Given data

density = 19.32 g/cm³

mass = 33.16 g

thickness = 3.000 µm = 3 ×10^{-4} cm

radius r = 1.000 µm = 1 ×10^{-4} cm

to find out

area of the leaf and  length of the fiber

solution

we know volume formula that is

volume = mass / density

volume = 33.16 /  19.32

volume = 1.72 cm³

we know that volume = thickness × area

so area

area = volume / thickness

area = 1.72 / 3 ×10^{-4}

area = 5733.33  cm²

and

we know volume = πr²L

so L = volume /  πr²

length = 1.72 / π(1×10^{-4})²

length = 5.47 ×10^{7} cm

Julie is cycling at a speed of 3.4 meters/second. If the combined mass of the bicycle and Julie is 30 kilograms, what is the kin
Anon25 [30]
Velocity=3.4m/sec
Mass=30kg
so kinetic energy=1/2mv^2
=1/2×30×3.4×3.4
=15×3.4×3.4
=15×11.56
=173.4 kg m per second square
