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

A mobile starts with a speed of 250m / s and begins to decelerate at a rate of 3m / s². How fast is it after 45s?
Korvikt [17]

\large{ \underline{ \underline{ \bf{ \purple{Given}}}}}

  • Speed of the mobile = 250 m/s
  • It starts decelerating at a rate of 3 m/s²
  • Time travelled = 45s

\large{ \underline{ \underline{ \bf{ \green{To \: find}}}}}

  • Velocity of mobile after 45 seconds

\large{ \underline{ \underline{ \red{ \bf{Now, \: What \: to \: do?}}}}}

We can solve the above question using the three equations of motion which are:-

  • v = u + at
  • s = ut + 1/2 at²
  • v² = u² + 2as

So, Here a is acceleration of the body, u is the initial velocity, v is the final velocity, t is the time taken and s is the displacement of the body.

\large{ \bf{ \underline{ \underline{ \orange{Solution:}}}}}

We are provided with,

  • u = 250 m/s
  • a = -3 m/s²
  • t = 45 s

By using 1st equation of motion,

⇛ v = u + at

⇛ v = 250 + (-3)45

⇛ v = 250 - 135 m/s

⇛ v = 115 m/s

✤ <u>Final</u><u> </u><u>velocity</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>mobile</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>1</u><u>5</u><u> </u><u>m</u><u>/</u><u>s</u>

Why is it not necessary for radio telescope surfaces to be as smooth as a mirror?
Law Incorporation [45]
It doesn't on account of radio waves are longer than optical waves. Radio waves are a sort of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths in the electromagnetic range longer than infrared light. These long waves are in the radio locale of the electromagnetic range.

Two tuning forks, 254 Hz. and 260 Hz., are struck simultaneously. How many beats will be heard?
Lisa [10]

The longer you continue to listen, the more beats will be heard.

They'll occur at the rate of (260Hz - 254Hz) = 6 Hz .
