The vector ~v represents the displacement vector from Portland, Oregon to Houston, Texas. The vector w~ represents the displacem

ent vector from Houston, Texas to Akron, Ohio. Use the vectors ~v and w~ to answer the following questions:
a. What is the displacement vector Of a plane which flies from Akron, Ohio to Houston, Texas?
b. In order to fly home from Portland to Akron I have a layover in Houston. Find a vector which describes my total displacement over the whole trip.
c. It is approximately 3000 km from Portland to Houston. It is approximately 5500 km from Anchorage, Alaska to Houston. A plane flies in a straight line from Houston to Anchorage and during the flight it passes directly over Portland. Find a vector which describes the displacement of the plane.

Answer:

a

the displacement of the plane is  - \= w

b

The displacement of plane  from Portland to Akron with layover at Houston is  

       \= v  + \= w

c

  the vector which defines this displacement is  \= v + \= w  =- 2500 \ km

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are the

   The displacement from Portland, Oregon to Houston, Texas. is  \= v

    The displacement  from Houston, Texas to Akron, Ohio.  is \= wa

a

   The motion of the plane in question a is in the opposite direction to vector \= w

So the displacement of the plane is  - \= w

b

The motion of Portland to Houston to Akron is in the direction of both vector \= v and  \= w  so

The displacement of plane  from Portland to Akron with layover at Houston is  

       d =  \= v  + \= w

c

From the question we are told that the plane flies over Portland to get to  Anchorage, Alaska which implies that it is moving in opposite direction to the vector \= v

   Give that distance from Portland to Houston is  \= v  = 3000 km

           and the distance from Portland to  Anchorage is \= w = - 5500km

Then the vector which defines this displacement is mathematically represented as

   \= v + \= w  = 3000  -5500

    \= v + \= w  =- 2500 \ km

A 15-foot flag pole is next to a tree. The flag pole is casting a shadow of 22.5 feet and the tree is casting a shadow that is 1
muminat

Answer:32.1428571429 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The flag is 15 feet.

It's shadow is 10.5 feet.

15/10.5=1.4285714286.

So the flag is above mentioned times of the shadow.

And the tree's hight will be,

22.5*1.4285714286

=32.1428571429 feet.

Please help me understand
Svetach [21]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

The problem replaces the x with the appropriate input. It is asking for you to find the correct output (y). Looking at the graph, when the point hits -1 on the x value, the value for y is 3. So, the correct output is 3.
