Answer:

24°

Explanation:

sin(34°)/sin(x)=v2/v1

x=arcsin(2,1*sin(34°)/2,8)=24°

If an airplane is moving at a constant speed of 500 miles per hour in a straight line is it accelerating?
Zinaida [17]

No. It’s moving at a constant speed (speed is not changing) in a straight line (same direction so velocity is not changing) so it is not accelerating. Acceleration only occurs if there’s a change in speed/velocity.

Air is being pumped into a spherical balloon so that its volume increases at a rate of 150 cm3/s. How fast is the radius of the
Slav-nsk [51]

0.119cm/s is the radius of the balloon increasing when the diameter is 20 cm.

<h3>How big is a circle's radius?</h3>

The radius of a circle is the distance a circle's center from any point along its circumference. Usually, "R" or "r" is used to indicate it.

A circle's diameter cuts through the center and extends from edge to edge, in contrast to a circle's radius, which extends from center to edge. Essentially, a circle is divided in half by its diameter.

dv/dt = 150cm³/s

d = 2r = 20cm

r = 10cm

find dr/dt

Given that the volume of a sphere is calculated using

v = 4/3πr³

Consider both sides of a derivative

d/dt(v) = d/dt( 4/3πr³)

dv/dt =  4/3π(3r²)dr/dt = 4πr²dr/dt

Hence,

dr/dt = 1/4πr².dv/dt

dr/dt = 1/4π×(10)²×150

dr/dt = 1/4π×100×150

dr/dt = 0.119cm/s.

What would be the velocity of a sound wave in the air with a frequency of 260Hz?
enyata [817]

The speed of sound in air doesn't depend on the frequency of the sound.  It depends on the temperature, pressure, and humidity of the air.  It's usually around <em>340 m/s</em> .
