Assume a plane is flying directly north at 200 mph, but there is a wind blowing west at 23 mph. Part I: Express both the velocit

y of the plane and the velocity of the wind as vectors, using proper notation to represent each direction of motion. Part II: What is the velocity vector of the plane? Part III: What is the ground speed of the plane?

Define i  as a unit vector in the eastern direction.
Define j as a unit vector in the northern direction.

Part I
Because the wind is blowing west, its velocity vector is
 -23i mph or as (-23, 0) mph
Because the plane is traveling north, its velocity vector is
  200j mph or as (0, 200) mph 

Part II
The actual velocity of the plane is the vector sum of the plane and wind velocities.
That is,
200j - 23i or (-23, 200) mph

Part III
The ground speed of the plane is the magnitude of its vector.
The ground speed is
√[200² + (-23)²] = 201.32 mph

The ground speed of the plane is 201.3 mph (nearest tenth)

Not:
The direction of the plane is
 tan⁻¹ 23/200 = 6.56° west of north.

99 degrees warmer because since -27 a negative number you have to add 27 to get to 0 so Alaska is then 72 degrees which is a positive number so you add 72+27 and get 99

Last month Kim trained 3 times as many dogs as cats. If the total number of cats and dogs she trained last month is 28, how many
olga55 [171]
<span>The total number (n) = 28. This includes the number of cats (c) and the number of dogs (d), which is three times the number of cats. Therefore n = c + d and 28 = c + 3c. 28 = 4c. C = 28/4. C = 7. Kim trained 7 cats.</span>

1. Ted found out that the rebate is not given until after he has
nadezda [96]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  maybe not

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider a couple of scenarios for a $20,000 car purchase and a $2000 rebate, with sales tax at 10%.

1) The rebate is applied directly to the purchase price.

  Taxable amount: $20,000 -2,000 = $18,000.

  Price with tax: $18,000 × 1.10 = $19,800

  Amount financed: $19,800.

__

2) The rebate is given after the sale is complete.

  Taxable amount: $20,000

  Price with tax: $20,000 × 1.10 = $22,000

  Amount financed: $22,000

  Remaining loan balance if $2000 rebate is immediately applied to the loan: $22,000 -$2000 = $20,000

__

If the loan is for 5 years at 3%, the payments and total costs are ...

  Scenario 1: Monthly payment $355.78;

     total cost of loan: 60×355.78 = 21,346.80

  Scenario 2: Monthly payment $395.31;

     total cost of loan: 55×395.31 = $21,742.05  (note there are fewer payments because of the initial payment to principal of $2000)

__

Ted effectively has to finance an additional $200, equal to the sales tax on the rebate. So the delayed rebate costs him an extra $395.25 over the life of the loan.

_____

We have assumed certain tax and payment scenarios. If tax is not an issue, and if the loan terms are such that the rebate can be applied immediately to the loan amount, then <em>there may be no difference in total cost</em>, or the delayed rebate may result in a <em>lower</em> total cost due to the higher monthly payment.
