A pilot flies in a straight path for 1 h 30 min. She then makes a course correction, heading 10 degrees to the right of her orig

inal course, and flies 2 h in the new direction. If she maintains a constant speed of 675 mi/h, how far is she from her starting position?

Answer:

The plane is 2353.7 mi from the starting position.

Explanation:

Please, see the attached figure for a graphic representation of the problem.

We have 2 displacement vectors "a" and "b" and a vector "c" that is the sum of vectors "a" plus "b" (c = a + b). The module of "c" will be the distance of the plane from the starting point.

vector a = (xa, ya)

vector b = (xb, yb)

where “xa” and “xb” are the horizontal components of the vectors “a” and “b” respectively and “ya” and “yb” are the vertical components of each vector.

Then, the vector c = a + b will be:

c = (xa + xb, ya + yb)

The module of a vector is calculated using the following expression for a vector “v”:

module of v = \sqrt{x^{2} + y^{2} }

Then, the module of c will be:

module of c = \sqrt{(xa + xb)^{2} + (ya + yb)^{2}} = distance from starting point

Then, we have to find the components of vectors “a” and “b”

The distance traveled during the first 1.5 hours of the trip is the module of the vector “a”. Then:

module of a = \sqrt{xa^{2} + ya^{2} } = distance traveled during the first 1.5 hours.

The distance can be calculated using the equation of the position of an object moving in a straight line at constant speed:

x = x0 + v * t

where

x = position at time t

x0 = initial position

v = speed

t = time

Considering x0 as the starting point (x0 = 0)

x = 675 mi/h * 1.5 h = 1012.5 mi

Then:

module of a = \sqrt{xa^{2} + ya^{2} } = 1012. 5 mi

Since the plane moves only on the horizontal (see figure), the "y" component of the vector, "ya", will be 0.

Then:

(1012.5 mi)² = xa²

xa = 1012. 5mi

a = (1012.5 mi, 0)

In the same way, we have fo find the components of the vector “b”. The module of “b” will be the distance traveled during this part of the flight:

module of b = \sqrt{xb^{2} + yb^{2} } = x = x0 + v * t

Considering x0 as the point at which the plane turns (x0 = 0)

x = 675 mi / h * 2 h = 1350 mi

Using trigonometry, we can calculate xb and yb (see figure):

sin angle = opposite / hypotenuse

cos angle = adjacent / hypotenuse

In this case:

opposite = yb

adjacent = xb

hypotenuse = module of “b”

Then:

sin 10° = yb / module of “b”

sin 10° * module of “b” = yb

In the same way:

cos 10° * module of “b” = xb

Since module of “b” = 1350 mi

xb = 1329.5 mi

yb = 234.4 mi

b = (1329.5 mi, 234.4 mi)

The vector c = a+b can now be calculated:

c = (xa + xb, ya + yb)

c =(1012.5 mi + 1329.5 mi, 0 mi + 234.4 mi) = (2342 mi, 234.4 mi)

The module of c will be:

module of c = \sqrt{(2342 mi)^{2} + (234.4 mi)^{2} } = 2353.7 mi

The plane is 2353.7 mi from the starting position.

valkas [14]
<span>The shortening velocity refers to the speed of the contraction from the muscle shortening while lifting a load. Maximal shortening velocity is only attained with a minimal load. With a light load, the shortening velocity is at its Maximal shortening velocity. When the weight is heavy, the speed in which the muscle lifts the weight decreases in speed at a slower velocity.</span>

A machine is designed to fill jars with 16 ounces of coffee. A consumer suspects that the machine is not filling the jars comple
babunello [35]

Answer:

a) Null hypothesis:  \mu \geq 16  

Alternative hypothesis :\mu  

b) t=\frac{15.6-16}{\frac{0.3}{\sqrt{8}}}=-3.77  

p_v =P(t_{(7)}  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.1 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

c) We can conclude that the mean is significantly less than 16 ounces at 10% of significance.  so then the consumer suspect is correct.

Explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=15.6 represent the mean for the sample

s=0.3 represent the sample standard deviation  

n=8 sample size  

\mu_o =16 represent the value that we want to test  

\alpha=0.1 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

Is a one tailed left test.  

What are H0 and Ha for this study?  

Null hypothesis:  \mu \geq 16  

Alternative hypothesis :\mu  

The degrees of freedom on this case are:

df=n-1=8-1=7

Compute the test statistic

The statistic for this case is given by:  

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)  

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic  

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

t=\frac{15.6-16}{\frac{0.3}{\sqrt{8}}}=-3.77  

Give the appropriate conclusion for the test

Since is a one side left tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(t_{(7)}  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.1 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

We can conclude that the mean is significantly less than 16 ounces at 10% of significance.  so then the consumer suspect is correct.
