An aeroplane X whose average speed is 50°km/hr leaves kano airport at 7.00am and travels for 2 hours on a bearing 050°. It then

changes its course and flies on a bearing 1200 to an airstrip A. Another aeroplane Y leaves kano airport at 10.00am and flies on a straight course to the airstrip A. both planes arrives at the airstrip A at 11.30am. calculate the average speed of Y to three significant figures. the direction of flight Y to the nearest degree

Answer:

(a)123 km/hr

(b)39 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Plane X with an average speed of 50km/hr travels for 2 hours from P (Kano Airport) to point Q in the diagram.

Distance = Speed X Time

Therefore: PQ =50km/hr X 2 hr =100 km

It moves from Point Q at 9.00 am and arrives at the airstrip A by 11.30am.

Distance, QA=50km/hr X 2.5 hr =125 km

Using alternate angles in the diagram:

\angle Q=110^\circ

(a)First, we calculate the distance traveled, PA by plane Y.

Using Cosine rule

q^2=p^2+a^2-2pa\cos Q\\q^2=100^2+125^2-2(100)(125)\cos 110^\circ\\q^2=34175.50\\q=184.87$ km

SInce aeroplane Y leaves kano airport at 10.00am and arrives at 11.30am

Time taken =1.5 hour

Therefore:

Average Speed of Y

=184.87 \div 1.5\\=123.25$ km/hr\\\approx 123$ km/hr (correct to three significant figures)

(b)Flight Direction of Y

Using Law of Sines

\dfrac{p}{\sin P} =\dfrac{q}{\sin Q}\\\dfrac{125}{\sin P} =\dfrac{184.87}{\sin 110}\\123 \times \sin P=125 \times \sin 110\\\sin P=(125 \times \sin 110) \div 184.87\\P=\arcsin [(125 \times \sin 110) \div 184.87]\\P=39^\circ $ (to the nearest degree)

The direction of flight Y to the nearest degree is 39 degrees.

If sin theta = -1/2 and lies in the third quadrant, what is the cos?
never [62]
Sin angle that equals the 1/2 value is the 30 degree on the 1st Quadrant.

The angle of 30 degree on the 3rd Quadrant is equivalent to (formula and circle in the 1st photo) 180 + 30 = 210°.

So theta = 210° (3rd Quadrant) = 30° (1st Quadrant).

cos \: 30\degree = \sqrt{3} \div 2

Now just transfer the cos 30° to the 3rd Quadrant and the signal will be negative (as shown in the 2nd photo attached).

cos \: 210 \degree = - \sqrt{3} \div 2

John borrows $6.50 from his friends to pay for snacks, and $11.75 from his sister to go to the movies how much money does he nee
Nina [5.8K]

John has borrowed $6.50 from his friends and $11.75 from his sister. To find how much money he needs to repay you can just add up the amount of money he has borrowed.

Make an equation to solve for this, where x = amount of money John needs to repay. Make the amount of money John borrowed add up to x. Your equation should look like:

$6.50 + $11.75 = x

Combine like terms (add 6.50 and 11.75).

$18.25 = x

After solving the equation, you have figured out that John need to repay $18.25 in total.

Answer: The ladder is 5.3 m long
Step by step solution
1. Draw out the scenario, ie a right triangle where the hypotenuse is the ladder, the wall is 4.5m and the angle the ladder and the ground makes 58 degree.

2. Soh, Cah, Toa
The wall is opposite, the ground is adjacent, and the ladder is hypotenuse
Sine (58) = 4.5/h

3. Solve for hypotenuse
h * sine (58) = 4.5
h = 4.5/sine (58)
h = ~ 5.3 m

An automobile manufacturer sold 30,000 new cars, one to each of 30,000 customers, in a certain year. The manufacturer was intere
snow_lady [41]
A) In order to create a sampling plan, you need to follow the following 5 steps:
    1) Define the sample population: who are the customers you want to contact?
       The costumers who bought a new car on a certain year.
    2) Define the size of population: how many customers are you going to contact?
       Of the 30000 customers who bought a car, you want to contact 1000 customers.
    3) Define the contact options: how are you going to contact the customers?
       You have a list of names and addresses, therefore you can send a questionnaire via mail.
    4) Form a sampling frame: what is the time or contact frame to get in touch with your customers? 
       You will send the questionnaires and you will wait two months for the answer.
    5) Define the analysis method: is yours a qualitative or quantitative research?
     In your case, you want a quantitative research and therefore a probabilistic sampling.

B) The 32.5% probability refers to customers having issues with the power doors locks among the costumers who had problems, it does not consider the customers who did not have any problem or those who had problems after the first 5000 miles.

C) In order to find the probability of a power door lock problem if there have been problems within the first 5000 miles, we need to consider the whole sample:
P = 13 / 1000
   = 0.013

Therefore, 
N = <span>0.013 </span>× 30000
   = 390

Hence, the number of new cars sold that experienced a problem with the power door locks within the first 5000 miles will be 390.
