Let suppose that both ships travel at constant velocities. As we know that both travel in opposite directions, it is supposed that cruise ship moves in +x direction, whereas submarine in -x direction. Kinematic equations for each sheep are described below:

Ship

$x_{Sh} = x_{o} + v_{Sh}\cdot t$

Submarine

$x_{Su} = x_{o}+v_{Su}\cdot t$

Where:

$x_{o}$ - Position of Diego Garcia island, measured in miles.

$x_{Sh}$ , $x_{Su}$ - Current positions of ship and submarine, measured in miles.

$v_{Sh}$ , $v_{Su}$ - Velocities of ship and submarine, measured in miles per hour.

$t$ - TIme, measured in hours.

If we know that $x_{Sh} - x_{Su} = 241\,mi$ , $v_{Sh} = 19\,\frac{mi}{h}$ and $t = 7\,h$ , then:

$x_{Sh} - x_{Su} = (v_{Sh}-v_{Su})\cdot t$

We clear now the velocity of submarine:

$\frac{x_{Sh}-x_{Su}}{t} = v_{Sh}-v_{Su}$

$v_{Su} = v_{Sh}-\frac{x_{Sh}-x_{Su}}{t}$

$v_{Su} = 19\,\frac{mi}{h} -\frac{241\,mi}{7\,h}$

$v_{Su} = -15.429\,\frac{mi}{h}$

Speed of the submarine is the magnitude of its velocity, which is 15.429 miles per hour.

What is the measure of XYZ

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The arc XZ is twice the measure of the inscribed angle XYZ , that is

arc XZ = 2 × 60° = 120°

The complete circumference = 360° , thus

arc XYZ = 360° - arc XZ = 360° - 120° = 240° → B

Dear Math Helper, You write a great column, and I hope you stay around for years to come. I run a small boarding school. We are

The easiest way to determine the score is to use a calculator or spreadsheet and the appropriate probability function.

If you want the top 10%, the score corresponds to the 90th percentile. That score is 316.

If you want the top 15%, the score corresponds to the 85th percentile. That score is 313.

MATCH THE number WITH ITS OPPOSITE

ycow [4]

To match the number with the opposite, we are flipping the sign. If the sign is originally a negative, it would become a positive, and vice versa.

Term: 3.2 Match (Opposite): B) - 3.2

Term: -2.3 Match (Opposite): D) 2.3

Term: -1.5 Match (Opposite): C) 1.5

Term: 5.1 Match (Opposite): A) -5.1
