A radar station locates a sinking ship at range 17.3 km and bearing 136° clockwise from north. From the same station, a rescue p

lane is at horizontal range 19.6 km, 153° clockwise from north, with elevation 2.20 km.
a) Write the position vector for the ship relative to the plane, letting represent east, north, and up.
b) How far apart are the plane and ship?

Answer:2.2 km

Explanation:

Given

Position of ship with respect to station is \vec{r_1}

considering east to be positive and west to be negative x axis

North as positive y axis

\vec{r_1}=17.3cos(-46)\hat{i}+17.3sin(-46)\hat{j}

\vec{r_1}=12.017\hat{i}-12.44\hat{j}

Position vector of Plane \vec{r_2}

\vec{r_2}=19.6cos(-63)\hat{i}+19.6sin(-63)\hat{j}+2.2\hat{k}

\vec{r_2}=12.017\hat{i}-12.44\hat{j}+2.2\hat{k}

Position vector of ship relative to the plane

\vec{r_{12}}= \vec{r_1}- \vec{r_2}

\vec{r_{12}}= 12.017\hat{i}-12.44\hat{j}-12.017\hat{i}+12.44\hat{j}-2.2\hat{k}

\vec{r_{12}}=-2.2\hat{k}

Distance between Plane and Ship is 2.2

as they vertically separated by 2.2 km

If the battery of your phone can provide 2 mA of current to your phone and holds a charge of 130 C, how long will it take a full
Naya [18.7K]

Answer: 65000 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

Current (I) = 2 mA

(Since 1 mA = 1 x 10^-3A

2 mA = 2 x 10^-3A)

Charge (Q) = 130 C

Time taken for a fully charged phone to die (T) = ?

Recall that the charge is the product of current and time taken.

i.e Q = I x T

130C = 2 x 10^-3A x T

T = 130C / (2 x 10^-3A)

T = 65000 seconds (time will be in seconds because seconds is the unit of time)

Thus, it will take a fully charged phone 65000 seconds to die

Mary starts at the edge of a circular platform that is slowly rotating on a frictionless axle. She then walks towards the opposi
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The motion of Mary along the circular path is a centripetal.

As Mary moves from one edge of the circular platform to the other edge, she is covering a distance which is the radius of the circular path at a velocity.

According to the relationship

w = v/r where

w is the angular velocity

r is the radius

v is the linear velocity

Initially, before Mary starts, her linear speed is zero and her angular velocity is also zero. As she move towards the opposite edge, she is covering a distance of radius r. According to the formula, increase in radius will leads to decrease in her angular velocity and vice versa. As Mary starts moving towards the centre of the circular path, her angular velocity increases, at the centre of the platform, her angular velocity is at maximum at this point. As she moves further from the center to the other edge, her angular velocity decreases due to increase in distance covered across the circular path.

What is the formula for lithium and chlorine?
siniylev [52]
LiCl, because lithium (Li) has one positively charged ion (1+), and
chloride (Cl) has one negatively charged ion (1-), so they
cancel each other out.
