A car transports its passengers between 3 buildings. It moves from the first building to the second building, 4.76km away, in a

direction 37° north of east. It then moves from second building to the third building in a direction 69° west of north. Finally, it returns to the first building, sailing in a direction 28° east of south. Calculate the distance between (a) the second and third buildings and (b) the first and third buildings.​

Answer:

1) a = 6.14 km

2) b = 4.69 km

Explanation:

Let the first building be A, second building be B and third building be C.

Now, bearing of A = 4.76 km in a direction 37° north of east

Bearing of B = 69° west of north

Bearing of C = 28° east of south

Thus if this 3 points form a triangle, we will have the following angles;

Angle at point A = 28 + (90 - 37) = 81°

Angle at point B = 28 + (90 - 69) = 49°

Angle at point C = 180 - (81 + 49) = 50°

Now, the distance between second and third building is "a" which is represented by BC in the triangle attached while the given distance of 4.76 represents side AB. Thus;

Using sine rule, we can find "a".

a/sin 81 = 4.76/sin 50

a = 6.14 km

B) distance between first and third building is AB in the triangle depicted by "b".

Similar to the first problem, we will use sine rule again.

b/sin49 = 4.76/sin 50

b = 4.69 km

The quantity of matter in an object. More specifically, it is the measure of the inertia that an object exhibits in response to
nlexa [21]

Answer:

Mass

Explanation:

The mass of an object expresses the amount of matter it comprises. Which implies that objects with higher mass contains higher matter compared to objects with lesser masses. Thereby it determines the measure of inertia experienced by an object when a force is applied to change its direction of motion, or to set it in motion when at rest, or bring it to rest when in motion.

The mass of an object the same no matter its location, and it is measured in kilograms.

What is the velocity of a 50kg skater if her momentum is 225kg. m/s?
Gnom [1K]

|Momentum| = (mass) x (speed)

225 kg-m/s =(50kg) x (speed)

Divide each side by (50kg):  Speed=(225 kg-m/s) / (50 kg) = 4.5 m/s .

Regarding the velocity, nothing can be said other than the speed, because
we have no information regarding the direction of the object's motion.

A boy drops a ball from an observation tower. The ball hits the ground in 5.0 s. What is the ball's velocity at the time of impa
Orlov [11]
The answer is <span>C. 49 m/s

The kinetic equation is:
v2 = v1 + a * t

v1 - initial velocity
v2 - final velocity
a - gravitational acceleration
t - time

We know:
v2 = ?
v1 = 0 (in free fall
a = 9.8 m/s
t = 5

</span>v2 = v1 + a * t
v2 = 0 + 9.8 * 5
v2 = 0 + 49
v2 = 49 m/s
