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.

The action of two forces. One is a forward force of 1157 N provided by traction between the wheels and the road. The other is a
Pie

Complete question

A 2700 kg car accelerates from rest under the action of two forces. one is a forward force of 1157 newtons provided by traction between the wheels and the road. the other is a 902 newton resistive force due to various frictional forces. how far must the car travel for its speed to reach 3.6 meters per second? answer in units of meters.

Answer:

The car must travel 68.94 meters.

Explanation:

First, we are going to find the acceleration of the car using Newton's second Law:

\sum\overrightarrow{F}=m\overrightarrow{a} (1)

with m the mass , a the acceleration and \sum\overrightarrow{F} the net force forces that is:

(F-f) (2)

with F the force provided by traction and f the resistive force:

(2) on (1):

(F-f)=ma

solving for a:

a=\frac{F-f}{m} =\frac{1157N-902N}{2700kg} =0.094\frac{m}{s^{2}}

Now let's use the Galileo’s kinematic equation

Vf^{2}=Vo^{2}+2a\varDelta x (3)

With Vo te initial velocity that's zero because it started from rest, Vf the final velocity (3.6) and \varDelta x the time took to achieve that velocity, solving (3) for \varDelta x:

\varDelta x= \frac{Vf^{2}}{2a} = t= \frac{(3.6\frac{m}{s})^2}{2*0.094\frac{m}{s^{2}}}

t=68.94 m

Itzel travels south 4 miles and then goes east 2 miles and then north 10 miles. What is her displacement? Round your answer to t
expeople1 [14]

The displacement of Itzel according to the question is 6.3 miles SW

Displacement is defined as the distance moved by a body in a specified direction

Find the diagram attached

From the diagram given, we can see that AB is the displacement

To get the length AB, we will have to use the Pythagoras theorem:

AB^2=2^2+ 6^2\\AB^2 ^2=4+36\\AB^2=40\\AB=\sqrt{40}\\AB= 6.3 miles\\

From the diagram, we can also se that the direction of the displacement in the South West direction.

Hence the displacement of Itzel according to the question is 6.3 miles SW
