Answer: the total velocity of the air is 67.69km/h to the north and 35.4km/h to the east.

Explanation: The initial velocity of the plane is 200km/h south (supose that south is our positive x-axis here and east is the positive y-axis)

In one hour, the plane is located 137km away from the initial position, and the position in X is equal to 137km*cos(15°) = 132.33, this means that the velocity in the x axis is equal to 132.33 km/h, knowing that the initial velocity of the plane was 200km in the x-axis, this means that the velocity of the air must be:

132.33km/h - 200km/h = -67.69km/h

km and the position in "y" is equal to 137km*sin(15°) = 35.4km

This means that the velocity of the air in the y-axis is 35.4km/h

So the total velocity of the air is 67.69km/h to the north and 35.4km/h to the east.

An object floats in a beaker as shown. when it was put into the beaker, it displaced an amount of water into the graduated cylin
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

answer is  C. 10 g

Explanation:

: When an object floats, it displaces an amount of water that has the same mass as itself. Therefore, the mass of the water in the graduated cylinder is equal to the mass of the object. We can see that there are 10 mL of water in the graduated cylinder. We also know that the density of water is 1 g/mL. Since each mL of water has a mass of 1 g, then 10 mL of water has a mass of 10 g. If the mass of the displaced water is 10 g, then the mass of the floating object is also 10 g.

1<br> Verify the identity. Show your work.<br><br> cot θ ∙ sec θ = csc θ
Fittoniya [83]
To verify the identity, we can make use of the basic trigonometric identities:
cot θ = cos θ / sin θ 
sec θ = 1 / cos <span>θ
csc </span>θ = 1 / sin θ<span>

Using these identities:
</span>cot θ ∙ sec θ = (cos θ / sin θ ) (<span> 1 / cos </span><span>θ)
</span>
We can cancel out cos <span>θ, leaving us with
</span>cot θ ∙ sec θ = 1 / sin θ
cot θ ∙ sec θ = = csc <span>θ</span>

What is the difference in the positioning of the Sun, Earth and moon for a lunar eclipse versus a full moon?
Lady bird [3.3K]

When the Moon passes between Sun and Earth, the lunar shadow is seen as a solar eclipse on Earth. When Earth passes directly between Sun and Moon, its shadow creates a lunar eclipse. Lunar eclipses can only happen when the Moon is opposite the Sun in the sky, a monthly occurrence we know as a full Moon.

On which of saturn’s moons did the cassini-huygens probe land in 2004, providing our first view of the varied and active surface
yawa3891 [41]

On Titan, the largest moon of of Saturn did the Cassini-Huygens probe land in 2004.

To find the answer, we have to know more about the Cassini-Huygens Mission.

<h3>What is Cassini-Huygens mission?</h3>
  • Before arriving at its final destination of Saturn in 2004 and beginning a series of flybys of Saturn's moons, the spacecraft contributed to studies of Jupiter for six months in 2000.
  • In the same year, it launched the Huygens probe to explore Titan's atmosphere and surface makeup on Saturn's moon.
  • During its second extended mission, Cassini sailed between the rings, entered the planet's atmosphere, and obtained the first measurements of a whole seasonal period for Saturn and its moons.

Thus, we can conclude that, on Titan, the largest moon of of Saturn did the Cassini-Huygens probe land in 2004.
