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.

What is the purpose of each of the components (each shown with leader and line) of the circuit shown is the diagram?

The wires is what is needed to put together the whole thing, kinda like glue when you're gluing a piece of paper on it.

Anyways, the battery is the main source and main energy per say.

That energy that comes from the battery, thanks to the wires, it can transfer that said energy to both the switch and light bulb.

And as you flick the switch, it depends of how you put it together, there's two options, turning the light bulb on or turning it off.

Though it doesn't mean that since the light bulb is connected to the battery makes the bulb turn on no matter what since the switch can cancel the main source's energy.

I will mark as the brainliest answer<br><br>plz 8,9,10​

Answer:

8.  acceleration = \dfrac{d(velocity)}{d(time)}  = 1 unit .

9. acceleration = \dfrac{d(velocity)}{d(time)}  = -1 unit.

10. acceleration = \dfrac{d(velocity)}{d(time)}  = 0 units.

Explanation:

8. i) acceleration = velocity / time

  ii) In this figure velocity = time

  iii) therefore acceleration = \dfrac{d(velocity)}{d(time)} = 1 unit .

9. i) acceleration = velocity / time

  ii) In this figure 4 = m + 5, therefore m = -1

     therefore velocity = (-0.5 \times time) + 5

  iii) therefore acceleration = \dfrac{d(velocity)}{d(time)}  = -1 units.

10.) velocity is constant at 2

     therefore acceleration = \dfrac{d(velocity)}{d(time)}  = 0 units

How long does it take for a 3.5 kW electric water heater to heat 40 kg of water? from 20 ° C to 75 ° C? The specific heat capaci
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

2633.7 s

Explanation:

From the question,

Heat lost by the water heater = Heat gained by the water

Applying,

P = cm(t₂-t₁)/t.................. Equation 1

Where P = power of the heat, c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, t₁ = initial temperature, t₂ = final temperature, t = time

make t the subject of the equation

t = cm(t₂-t₁)/P.............. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: c = 4190 J/kgK, P = 3.5 kW = 3500 W, m = 40 kg, t₁ = 20°C, t₂ = 75°C

Substitute these values into equation 2

t = 4190×40(75-20)/3500

t = 9218000/3500

t = 2633.7 s
