Answer:

The distance between the ships is 87.84 km.

Explanation:

Given that,

Angle of first ship= 40°

Speed of first ship = 18 knots

Angle of second ship= 130°

Speed of second ship = 26 knots

We need to calculate the resultant velocity

Using cosine rule

v=\sqrt{v_{1}^2+v_{2}^2-2v_{1}v_{2}\cos\theta}

Put the value into the formula

v=\sqrt{18^2+26^2-2\times18\times26\times\cos90}

v=\sqrt{18^2+26^2}

v=\sqrt{324+676}

v=10\sqrt{10}

We need to calculate the distance between the ships

d =v\times t

Put the value into the formula

d=10\sqrt{10}\times1.5\times1.852

d=87.84\ km

Hence, The distance between the ships is 87.84 km.

Rank the vector combinations on the basis of their magnitude.
melomori [17]

I think this is about the 5th or 6th time I've seen this question
submitted to Brainly.  So far, nobody has yet given us any of
the rest of the question ... the part that tells us something about
the vectors, so that we have some way to know their magnitudes.
So far, nada.

A glass dropped on the floor is more likely to break if the floor is concrete
garik1379 [7]
False , (No)  because if its a regular floor it will more likely break because of the flat surface but if it is concrete then it has more of a chance because it has edges and dents which will help prevent it from breaking.

An insulator can do which of the following? Conduct charge through it. Become positively or negatively charged. Transfer protons
ser-zykov [4K]
The correct answer is:
<span>Become positively or negatively charged

In fact, an insulator is a material where charges cannot move freely. Therefore, it can be positively or negatively charge (for example, if it is rubbed against another object, the insulator can remain with an excess of charge), but it cannot transfer charge to other objects.</span>

Why one part of the earth's surface is arid and dry and a nearby part is lush and wet is explained by the term?
Darina [25.2K]
The process that explains why one part of the earth's surface is arid and dry and a nearby part is lush and wet is areal differentiation. It is<span> an approach to geography that shows </span>the dependence of the distribution of physical and human phenomena and the relation  to each other from the physical location. Areal integration on the other hand is the approach that studies how places interact with each other.
