A boat race runs along a triangular course marked by buoys A, B, and C. The race starts with the boats headed west for 3700 mete

rs. The other two sides of the course lie to the north of the first side, and their lengths are 1700 meters and 2900 meters. Draw a figure that gives a visual representation of the situation. Then find the bearings for the last two legs of the race.

Answer:

The  last two bearings are

49.50° and 104.02°

Explanation:

Applying the Law of cosine (refer to the figure attached):

we have

x² = y² + z² - 2yz × cosX

here,

x, y and z represents the lengths of sides opposite to the angels X,Y and Z.

Thus we have,

cos X=\frac{x^2-y^2-z^2}{-2yz}

or

cos X=\frac{y^2 + z^2-x^2}{2yz}

substituting the values in the equation we get,

cos X=\frac{2900^2 + 3700^2-1700^2}{2\times 2900\times 3700}

or

cos X=0.8951

or

X = 26.47°

similarly,

cos Y=\frac{1700^2 + 3700^2-2900^2}{2\times 1700\times 3700}

or

cos Y=0.649

or

Y = 49.50°

Consequently, the angel Z = 180° - 49.50 - 26.47 = 104.02°

The bearing of 2 last legs of race are angels Y and Z.

A 4.0-kg object has 72 J of kinetic energy.<br> Determine its speed.
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

6m/s

Explanation:

v = sqrt of 2KE/m

Where:

KE = kinetic energy

m = mass of a body

v = velocity of a body

= sqrt of 2(72)/4

= sqrt of 144/4

= sqrt of 36

= 6m/s

Sharon the ant (Aaron’s sister) sits at the edge of a turntable of radius R that is spinning with period T. As she makes one-hal
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

a = \dfrac{4\pi^2R}{T^2}

Explanation:

The acceleration of a circular motion is given by

a = \omega^2 R

where \omega is the angular velocity and R is the radius.

Angular velocity is related to the period, T, by

\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{T}

Substitute into the previous formula.

a = (\dfrac{2\pi}{T})^2 R

a = \dfrac{4\pi^2R}{T^2}

This acceleration does not depend on the linear or angular displacement. Hence, the amount of rotation does not change it.

Which cells or organs are considered to be part of both the immune and lymphatic systems? Select all that apply.
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

lymph nodes

tonsils and adenoids

thymus

Explanation:

-Arteries are the blood vessels that take the blood that contains oxygen from the heart to the tissues and are part of the circulatory system.

-Lymph nodes are glands that take care of filtering the fluid that goes through the lympathic system and are also important for the functioning of the immune system.

-Capillaries are blood vessels that connect the veins and arteries and are part of the circulatory system.

-Tonsils and adenoids are located in the throat and they help protect the body from diseases and they are part of immune system and the lympathic system.

-Veins are the vessels that take the blood to the heart and they are part of the circulatory system.

-Thymus is an organ in which the T cells develop and they help protect the body against virus and bacteria and it is part of the immune and lympathic systems.

According to this, cells or organs that are considered to be part of both the immune and lymphatic systems are:

lymph nodes

tonsils and adenoids

thymus

How do you know that a chemical change has happened
Elodia [21]

Answer:

theres is many states of chemical change but its not exaclty the same as physical the appearence might change alittle but chemical like frying a egg is a chemical change because a change of materials into another, new materials with different properties and one or more than one new substances are formed and the subtance changeing or the materials can show chemical changed happened you cant always see it but touching too like heat energy can show a chemical change

Explanation:

i hope this helps and keep ur grades up :)
