The distance from Parrot Point Airport to the Ivy Cliffs is 178 miles at and angle of 7.1 degrees northeast. There is a wind blo

wing southeast at 30 miles per hour. You want to make this trip in 2 hours by flying straight there. At what speed* and heading should you fly? * Round the speed to the nearest tenth of a mile per hour and angle to the nearest tenth of a degree. Where north is 0 degrees and positive is clockwise.

Answer:

The speed is 74.0 miles per hour and the angle is 65.1° north-east

Step-by-step explanation:

We resolve the distance moved by the wind and plane into horizontal and vertical components. The direction moved horizontally by the plane is 178sin7.1 = 22 miles.

Since the wind is moving south east, it is at 45 south of east or a bearing of 135.

Since the wind speed is 30 mph and it takes 2 hours to complete the trip, the horizontal distance moved by the wind is vtcos135 = 30 × 2cos45 = 42.43 miles

Also, the vertical displacement moved by the wind is vtsin135 = -30 × 2 sin45 = -42.43 miles

The displacement moved vertically by the plane is 178cos7.1 = 176.64 miles

The total horizontal displacement of the plane is 22 miles + 42.43 miles = 62.43 miles

The total vertical displacement of the plane is 176.64 miles - 42.43 miles =   134.21 miles

The resultant displacement is thus d = √(62.43² + 134.21²) = 148.02 miles

The direction of this displacement is thus

Ф = tan⁻¹(total vertical displacement/total horizontal displacement)

= tan⁻¹(134.21/62.43)

= tan⁻¹(2.1498)

= 65.05°

= 65.1° to the nearest tenth degree.

The speed is thus v = distance/ time = 148.02 miles/ 2 hours = 74.01 mph ≅ 74 mph. Since the direction of the displacement is the direction of the velocity, the velocity is thus 74 miles per hour at 65.1° north-east.

So the speed is 74.0 miles per hour and the angle is 65.1° north-east

Can someone help me with these two questions?
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

17) A(-1,1) B(-1,4) C(5,1)

18) (From origin moving rightwards)

     A(0,0) B(a, 0) C(a,a) D(0,a)

Step-by-step explanation:

17) You just count the steps, how many steps left, right, up, or down

18) The first point is at the origin, so 0,0

    The second point that lies on the x axis is (a,0) as it is a distance from the origin, 0 because it's on the x-axis.

     The third point is (a,a) because it is a distance to the right of the origin AND a distance upwards from the x axis.

      The fourth point (0,a) because it is on the vertical line (0) and is a distance above the origin.

Use distribute property and simplify<br> Help me please​
stellarik [79]

Answer:

104

155

180

Step-by-step explanation:

an easy way is to solve what is in the parenthesis then multiply by the outside number

but if you need to use the distributive property:

1. 4 x (20 - -6)

(4 x 20) - (4 x -6) = 80 - -24 = 80 + 24 = 104

2. -5 x (24 - -7)

(-5 x 24) - (-5 x -7) = -120 - 35 = 155

3. 12 x (-30 + 45)

(12 x -30) + (12 x 45) = -360 + 540 = 180

WHEN GIVEN A RAW SCORE, EXPLAIN HOW TO USE THE NORMAL CURVE TO COMPARE THAT SCORE TO THE POPULATION. WHAT IS A Z-SCORE?
valina [46]

<span>1. </span>When given a raw score, it must be converted into a z-score (standard score). Raw scores cannot be placed on a normal distribution curve because they do not have the same means and standard deviations, but when it is converted into a z-score, the number of standard deviations above or below the population mean can be measured. The z-scores on the center are average, the scores on the left are lower than average and the scores on the right are higher than average.

<span>2. </span>A z-score is a standard score which can be placed on a normal distribution curve. A z-score indicates the distance of the standard deviations from the mean (center of the curve).
