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.

You are looking at a yellow flower growing outside in the sunshine. Why does it look yellow?
Alchen [17]

Answer:

It looks yellow because that is the only (major) color reflected.

Visible spectra is from about 4000-7000 Angstroms (10^-10 m).

Red are longer wavelengths and blue are the shorter wavelengths.

The Sodium doublet (yellow) occurs around 5900 Angstroms.

When an athlete holds a barbell overhead, the reaction force is the weight of the barbell on his hand. how does this force vary
Sonja [21]
The force applied by the competitor is littler than the heaviness of the barbell. At the point when the barbell quickens upward, the power applied by the competitor is more prominent than the heaviness of the barbell. When it decelerates upward, the power applied by the competitor is littler than the heaviness of the barbell.
