Two ranger stations are on an east-west line 110 mi apart. A forest fire is located on a bearing of N 42º E from the western sta

tion at A and a bearing of N 15ºE from the eastern station at B. How far is the fire from the western station to the nearest mile?

Answer:

Explanation:

AB = 110 miles

Let the distance of the western station from fire is d.

As according to the diagram, use Sine law

\frac{d}{Sin 15}=\frac{110}{Sin 133}

d = 110 x 0.2588 / 0.73

d = 39 miles

Convert 68852 millijoules into Calories. (Write your answer in the decimal form. Do not include units in your answer).
alex41 [277]

Answer: 68852 millijoules = 16.46 calories

Explanation:

Given;

Convert 68852 millijoules to calories.

1 calorie = 4.184J = 4184millijoules

Therefore,

1 millijoule = 1/4184 calories

68852 millijoule = 68852 × 1/4184 calories

= 16.46 calories

A balloon will stick to a wooden wall if the balloon is charged
grigory [225]
<h2>Answer: either way</h2>

The balloon contains neutral charge atoms, that is, it has the same number of electrons (negative charge), protons (positive charge) and neutrons (no charge).

Then, when two objects come into contact, the electrons of one of them can become part of the other.

Thus, by bringing the balloon closer to the wall, the wall, which is also made up of atoms, will reorder its charges in such a way that its electrons or protons become part of the balloon, charging it.

11. A cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 10 m/s in 3 seconds. What is his acceleration ? Is this acceleration higher than that of
Marat540 [252]

a =  \frac{v - u}{t}

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

t = time taken

the acceleration of the cyclist is

\frac{10 - 0}{3}  = 3.333333....

approximately 3.33 m/s^2

the acceleration of the car is

\frac{40 - 0 }{8}  = 5.0

5.0 m/s^2

5.0 > 3.33 \\ so \:  the \: answer  \: is \: no

A car is traveling at a velocity of 22 m/s when the driver puts on the brakes
Brums [2.3K]

The car’s velocity at the end of this distance is <em>18.17 m/s.</em>

Given the following data:

  • Initial velocity, U = 22 m/s
  • Deceleration, d = 1.4 m/s^2
  • Distance, S = 110 meters

To find the car’s velocity at the end of this distance, we would use the third equation of motion;

Mathematically, the third equation of motion is calculated by using the formula;

V^2 = U^2 + 2dS

Substituting the values into the formula, we have;

V^2 = 22 + 2(1.4)(110)\\\\V^2 = 22 + 308\\\\V^2 = 330\\\\V^2 = \sqrt{330}

<em>Final velocity, V = 18.17 m/s</em>

Therefore, the car’s velocity at the end of this distance is <em>18.17 m/s.</em>
