A chimpanzee sitting against his favorite tree gets up and walks 70.9 m due east and 31.9 m due south to reach a termite mound,

DIA [1.3K]

A right triangle is formed by the 70.9 m walked east and 31.9 m walked south.
The legs of this right triangle are 70.9 and 31.9.
The shortest distance between two points is a straaight line. Therefore the hypotenuse of this triangle is going to be that shortest distance.
We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse of this triangle.
$a^2+b^2=c^2\\70.9^2+31.9^2=c^2\\5026.81+1017.61=c^2\\6044.42=c^2\\c=\sqrt{6044.42}$

$c=\sqrt{6044.42}\approx\boxed{77.7458681}\ (decimal\ form)\\\\c=\sqrt{6044.42}=\sqrt{\frac{604442}{100}}=\boxed{\frac{\sqrt{604442}}{10}}\ (exact\ form)$

As for the second part of the question, we want to find the angle formed by the hypotenuse and the 31.9 walked east.
We could use any of the three trigonometric ratios here since we know all 3 sides.
sine = opposite / hypotenuse
cosine = adjacent / hypotenuse
tangent = opposite / adjacent
I am going to use tangent, because then I won't have to deal with the hypotenuse and so the answer will be more accurate.

If you haven't already drawn yourself a diagram, now is a good time to.
The side opposite our angle is the 31.9, and the adjacent is 70.9.
Therefore, $\tan(m\angle)=\frac{31.9}{70.9}$ .

We can use inverse trig ratios here to find the measure of our angle.
$\tan^{-1}(\tan(m\angle))=\tan^{-1}(\frac{31.9}{70.9})\\\\m\angle=\tan^{-1}(\frac{31.9}{70.9})\approx\boxed{24.2243851\°\ or\ 0.422795279\ rad}$

Find the magnitude of acceleration (ft/s^2) a person experiences when he or she is texting and driving 58mph, hits a wall, and c

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

350 ft/s²

Explanation:

First, convert mph to ft/s.

58 mi/hr × (5280 ft/mi) × (1 hr / 3600 s) = 85.1 ft/s

Given:

v₀ = 85.1 ft/s

v = 0 ft/s

t = 0.24 s

Find: a

v = at + v₀

a = (v − v₀) / t

a = (0 ft/s − 85.1 ft/s) / 0.24 s

a = -354 ft/s²

Rounded to two significant figures, the magnitude of the acceleration is 350 ft/s².

Whats the difference between identical and fraternal twins

IrinaK [193]

Twin type has less to do with what twins look like and more to do with how they formed.
Identical, or monozygotic, twins form when a single fertilized egg splits and develop as two babies in the uterus. Identical twins originate from the same combination of cells and have the same genetic origin. They are ALWAYS the same sex, two girls/two boys. They may look very similar and it may be difficult to tell them apart.
Fraternal, or dizygotic, twins are two individuals from the same pregnancy who from TWO SEPARATE eggs fertilized by TWO SEPARATE SPERM. The genetic similarity between fraternal twins is the same as any two siblings, about 50 percent. They can be boys, girls, or one of each.

A yellow and green car traveled 400 miles to Dayton, OH. The green car made the trip in 10 hours. The yellow arrived in 8 hours.

elixir [45]

Answer: C)The yellow car was faster. Yellow traveled at a speed of 50 mph while green was traveling at an average of 40 mph.

Explanation:

The speed of each car is defined as:

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

where d is the distance traveled by the car and t is the time taken.

For the yellow car, d=400 mi and t=8 h, so its speed is

$v=\frac{400 mi}{8 h}=50 mph$

For the green car, d=400 mi and t=10 h, so its speed is

$v=\frac{400 mi}{10 h}=40 mph$

So, the correct choice is

C)The yellow car was faster. Yellow traveled at a speed of 50 mph while green was traveling at an average of 40 mph.
