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

Three forces act on an object. Two of the forces are at an angle of 100◦to each other and have magnitude 25N and 12N. The third
seraphim [82]

Answer:

F₄ = 29.819 N

Explanation:

Given

F₁ = (- 25*Cos 50° i + 25*Sin 50° j + 0 k) N

F₂ = (12*Cos 50° i + 12*Sin 50° j + 0 k) N

F₃ = (0 i + 0 j + 4 k) N

Then we have

F₁ + F₂ + F₃ + F₄ = 0

⇒   F₄ = - (F₁ + F₂ + F₃)

⇒   F₄ = - ((- 25*Cos 50° i + 25*Sin 50° j) N + (12*Cos 50° i + 12*Sin 50° j) N + (4 k) N) = (13*Cos 50° i - 37*Sin 50° j - 4 k) N

The magnitude of the force will be

F₄ = √((13*Cos 50°)² + (- 37*Sin 50°)² + (- 4)²) N = 29.819 N

Which statement correctly describes both sound and light waves?
olga55 [171]

Answer:

Option C. Light waves can travel through space, sound waves cannot.
