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.

<u>Answer </u>

kinetic


<u>Explanation</u>

Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass. There are four states of matter, solids, liquids, gases and plasma. All this consist of small molecules that are in constant random motion. This is called kinetic theory of matter.

When these molecules are in motion they may collide. No energy is gained or lost during collision. The particle/molecules move in a constant linear motion.
