Your GPS shows that your friend’s house is 10.0 km away. But there is a big hill between your houses and you don’t want to bike

there directly. You know your friend’s street is 6.0 km north of your street. How far do you have to ride before turning north to get to your friend’s house?

Answer:

The value is c  = 8 \  km

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance of friends house from your point is a =  10 \  km

The distance of your friends street from your street is b =  6 \  km \  in the \ direction \  towards \  the  \  north

The diagram illustrating this question is shown on the first uploaded image

From the diagram we can apply by Pythagoras theorem as follows

a^2 =  b^2 +  c^2

=>     c  =  \sqrt{^2 -  b^2}

=>     c  =  \sqrt{ 10^2 -  6^2}

=>     c  = 8 \  km

How many seconds will it take for a the International Space Station to travel 450 km at a rate of 100 m/s?
SVEN [57.7K]

Time = (distance) / (speed)

<em></em>

Time = (450 km) / (100 m/s)

Time = (450,000 m) / (100 m/s)

Time = <em>4500 seconds </em>(that's 75 minutes)

Note:

This is about HALF the speed of the passenger jet you fly in when you go to visit Grandma for Christmas.

If the International Space Station flew at this speed, it would immediately go ker-PLUNK into the ocean.

The speed of the International Space Station in its orbit is more like 3,100 m/s, not 100 m/s.

A wire carries a steady current of 2.20
alina1380 [7]
By definition we know that the force is the vector product of the vector of the current by the length with the magnetic field vector. The current in this case goes in a positive "Y" direction. If we assume that the magnetic field goes in the positive "K" direction, then the result will be in the positive "X" direction. Attached solution.
