Two airplanes leave an airport at the same time. The velocity of the first airplane is 650 m/h at a heading of 60.5 ◦ . The velo
city of the second is 560 m/h at a heading of 85◦ . How far apart are they after 2.9 h? Answer in units of m.
1 answer:
First, illustrate the problem as shown in the attached picture. Next, let's find the distance traveled by planes A and B after 2.9 h.
Distance of A: 650 m/h * 2.9 h = 1,885 m
Distance of B: 560 m/h * 2.9 h = 1,624 m
Then, we use the cosine law to determine the distance x. The angle should be: 85 - 60.5 = 24.5°
x² = 1,885² + 1,624² - 2(1,885)(1,624)(cos 24.5°)
x = √619381.3183
<em>x = 787 m</em>
Distance of A: 650 m/h * 2.9 h = 1,885 m
Distance of B: 560 m/h * 2.9 h = 1,624 m
Then, we use the cosine law to determine the distance x. The angle should be: 85 - 60.5 = 24.5°
x² = 1,885² + 1,624² - 2(1,885)(1,624)(cos 24.5°)
x = √619381.3183
<em>x = 787 m</em>

Answer: 22.6 hours
Explanation:
The power is the measure of the rate of energy.
In this problem, the 12.0 V battery is rated at 51.0 Ah, which means it delivers 51.0 A of current in a time of t = 1 h = 3600 s. The power delivered by the battery can be written as
where
I is the current
V = 12.0 V is the voltage of the battery
So the energy delivered by the battery can be written as
Where
So the energy delivered is
At the same time, the headlight consumes 27.0 W of power, so 27 Joules of energy per second; Therefore, it will remain on for a time of:
