of Hong Kong is 22.27°, and its longitude is 114.15°. What is the helicopter’s net change in latitude and longitude as it travels from Hong Kong to Jakarta?

This is simply a piece-wise addition. You are going from 22.27 to -6.20 in latitude, and from 114.15 to 106.80 in longitude. Do the mathematics, and you get -28.47 degrees of latitude, and -7.35 degrees of longitude.

Answer:

28.47º of latitude, 7.35º of longitude

Step-by-step explanation:

The latitude and longitude are simple imaginary lines (horizontal for latitude and vertical for longitude) that divide the Earth from an angle point of view. When used as a combination of both, you can get an exact location in any part of the world. For the 2 references, there a 0º divisions that make one side positive angles and negative on the other side (in the case of latitude, positive angles are above the equator line and for longitude positive angles are from the right of the Greenwich Meridian).

With the above mentioned we can observe that Hong Kong and Jakarta are away 22.27º and 6.2º respectively from the equator. So, the total degrees in latitude wil simply be the sum of the 2 absolute values (222.7º+6.2º) giving as a result of 28.47º.

On the other hand, we have in longitude that both cities are several degrees away from the same reference, and because they are from the right side of the Greenwich Meridian, the net change will be the substraction of 114.5-106.8º, giving as a result a total of 7.35º.

Maggie was doing research for her Ph.D. in physics when a 12 mg sample of radioactive material decayed to 3 mg in 26 minutes. De
netineya [11]

The general way to work this out is to solve the general expression for
the remaining quantity versus half-life, using logarithms.  But that's not
necessary with these numbers.

Look at the numbers:

-- 3 mg is  1/4  of  12 mg.

-- 1/4  is the product of  (1/2) x (1/2).

-- So the  3 mg is what's left of  12 mg after  2  half-lives.
The  26  minutes must be two half-lives.

-- The half-life of that substance is  26/2 = <em>13 minutes</em>.

Go Maggie !

Can you help me out on this question?
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

4. x= 18

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve the problem like this:

Since 3 is proportional to 6 and 9 is proportional to x, we set up a proportion.

3/9 = 6/x  

We then use cross-multiplication to solve for x.

Nataliya [291]
Total distance 5 km; at 5km / 0.65 h =

Second part distance: x; at 6 km/h, during t2

First part distance: 5 - x; at 8.75 km/h, during t1

V = d/t ⇒ t = d/V

t2 = x/6
t1=[5-x]/8.75

t2 + t1 = 0.65

x/6 + [5-x]/8.75 = 0.65

x/6 + 5/8.75 - x/8.75 = 13/20

 x/6 - x/8.75 = 13/20 - 5/8.75

x/6 - 4x/35 =13/20 - 20/35

35x - 24x = (35*6)(35*13 - 20*20)/(20*35)

11 x = 16.5
x = 16.5/11 = 1.5 km
