Answer:

time to fall is 3.914 seconds

Explanation:

given data

half distance time = 1.50 s

to find out

find the total time of its fall

solution

we consider here s is total distance

so equation of motion for distance

s = ut + 0.5 × at²   .........1

here s is distance and u is initial speed that is 0 and a is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 and t is time

so for last 1.5 sec distance is 0.5 of its distance so equation will be

0.5 s = 0 + 0.5 × (9.8) × ( t - 1.5)²     ........................1

and

velocity will be

v = u + at

so velocity v = 0+ 9.8(t-1.5)    ..................2

so first we find time

0.5 × (9.8) × ( t - 1.5)² = 9.8(t-1.5)  + 0.5 ( 9.8)

solve and we get t

t = 3.37 s

so time to fall is 3.914 seconds

(1 point) A pilot flies in a straight path for 1 hour and 30 min. She then makes a course correction, heading 10 degrees to the
kati45 [8]

Answer:

The pilot is 2214.22 miles from her starting position

Explanation:

Since the pilot is traveling at a constant speed of 635 mph, the total distance traveled can be easily found as follows:

1stleg: d_{1} = 1.5*635 = 952.5 mi\\2ndleg: d_{2} = 2*635 = 1270 mi

There was a 10 degrees deviation, so the angle between the trajectory of both legs is 170 degrees.

The distance we need to find is that from the start of the first leg to the end of the second leg, those three distances form a triangle and since the side we're interested in is opposite to the 170 degrees angle, we can determine its length by the law of cosines:

d_{3}^{2} =d_{1}^{2} + d_{2}^{2} -2*d_{1}*d_{2}*cos(170)\\d_{3}^{2} =952.5^{2} + 1270^{2} -2*952.5*1270*cos(170)\\d_{3}=2214.22mi

The pilot is 2214.22 miles from her starting position
