(1 point) A pilot flies in a straight path for 1 hour and 30 min. She then makes a course correction, heading 10 degrees to the

right of her original course, and flies 2 hours in the new direction. If she maintains a constant speed of 635 miles per hour, how far is she from her starting position?

Answer:

The pilot is 2214.22 miles from her starting position

Explanation:

Since the pilot is traveling at a constant speed of 635 mph, the total distance traveled can be easily found as follows:

1stleg: d_{1} = 1.5*635 = 952.5 mi\\2ndleg: d_{2} = 2*635 = 1270 mi

There was a 10 degrees deviation, so the angle between the trajectory of both legs is 170 degrees.

The distance we need to find is that from the start of the first leg to the end of the second leg, those three distances form a triangle and since the side we're interested in is opposite to the 170 degrees angle, we can determine its length by the law of cosines:

d_{3}^{2} =d_{1}^{2} + d_{2}^{2} -2*d_{1}*d_{2}*cos(170)\\d_{3}^{2} =952.5^{2} + 1270^{2} -2*952.5*1270*cos(170)\\d_{3}=2214.22mi

The pilot is 2214.22 miles from her starting position

The lamp has a resistance of 10 ohms each resistor has a resistance of 10 ohms what is the total resistance of the circuit
prisoha [69]
Mark Brainliest please

Answer : if connected series, 20 ohms
And if connected parallel, answer will be less than 20 ohms

When resistors are wired in series, the total circuit resistance increases because each resistor contributes opposition to the circuit's current flow. Therefore if a 10 ohm resistor is placed in series with another 10 ohm resistor, the total resistance contributed by the two resistors is 20 ohms.

A uniform solid sphere has a moment of inertia I about an axis tangent to its surface. What is the moment of inertia of this sph
arsen [322]

Answer:

option E

Explanation:

given,

I is moment of inertia about an axis tangent to its surface.

moment of inertia about the center of mass

I_{CM} = \dfrac{2}{5}mR^2.....(1)

now, moment of inertia about tangent

I= \dfrac{2}{5}mR^2 + mR^2

I= \dfrac{7}{5}mR^2...........(2)

dividing equation (1)/(2)

\dfrac{I_{CM}}{I}= \dfrac{\dfrac{2}{5}mR^2}{\dfrac{7}{5}mR^2}

\dfrac{I_{CM}}{I}=\dfrac{2}{7}

I_{CM}=\dfrac{2}{7}I

the correct answer is option E

A whistle you use to call your hunting dog has a frequency of 21 kHz, but your dog is ignoring it. You suspect the whistle may n
uranmaximum [27]

The Doppler effect is the right concept to solve this problem. The Doppler effect is understood as the change in apparent frequency of a wave produced by the relative movement of the source with respect to its observer. Mathematically it can be described as,

f = (1-\frac{v_0}{v})f_0

Here,

f_0 = Frequency of the sound from the Whistle

f = Frequency of sound heard

v = Speed of the sound in the Air

Replacing we have that

1- \frac{v_0}{343} = \frac{20kHz}{21kHz}

\frac{v_0}{343} = 1-\frac{20}{21}

\frac{v_0}{343} = \frac{1}{21}

v_0 = \frac{1}{21}(343)

v_0 = 16.33m/s

Therefore the minimum speed to know if the whistle is working is 16.33m/s

Describe four consequences of having a different type of joint in the thumb.​
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Essentially, your thumb is the main piece of your body that has saddle joints. The bones in your seats joint are in charge of moving forward and backward, side to side.

When all is said in done, the piece of the thumb joint that is subjected to extreme anxiety is that known as CMC joint or carpometacarpal joint. This joint is fundamentally shaped by the metacarpal bone and it explains with the trapezium bone of the wrist.
