3.0 x 10^8 km/s is how far light travels.
3.0 x 10^8 km/s x 60s is how far light travels in a minute
3.0 x 10^8 x 60 x 5 is how far light travels in 5 minutes, and you should get D as your answer.

Answer:

D) $9*10^{10}$ km.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Light travels at $3* 10^{8}$ km/s.

To find : How far does light travel in 5 minutes.

Solution : We have given

Light travels in 1 second = $3* 10^{8}$ km.

1 minute = 60 second.

5 minute = 60* 5 = 300 second .

Light travels in 5 minute = $300 * 3* 10^{8}$ km.

Light travels in 5 minute = $3*10^{2}* 3*10^{8}$ km.

= $9*10^{10}$ km.

Therefore, D) $9*10^{10}$ km.

Answer:

53°

Step-by-step explanation:

x + (2x + 21) = 180

(Corresponding angles &

Supplementary angles)

3x + 21 = 180

Answer:

49 r. 3

$3 \div 148 \\ 3 \div 14 = 4 \\ 3 \div 28 = 9 \\ \\$

the answer is 49 but since three can go into 148 evenly the remainder is 3

Distance between two ships At noon, ship A was 12 nautical miles due north of ship B. Ship A was sailing south at 12 knots (naut

frozen [14]

Answer:

a) $\sqrt{144-288t+208t^2}$ b.) -12knots, 8 knots c) No e) $4\sqrt{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the initial distance between ships A and B was 12 nautical miles. Ship A moves at 12 knots(nautical miles per hour) south. Ship B moves at 8 knots east.

We know that at time t , the ship A has moved $12\dot t (n.m)$ and ship B has moved $8\dot t (n.m)$ . We also know that the ship A moves closer to the line of the movement of B and that ship B moves further on its line.

Using Pythagorean theorem, we can write the distance s as:

$\sqrt{(12-12\dot t)^2 + (8\dot t)^2}\\s=\sqrt{144-288t+144t^2+64t^2}\\s=\sqrt{144-288t+208t^2}$

We want to find $\frac{ds}{dt}$ for t=0 and t=1

$\sqrt{144-288t+208t^2}|\frac{d}{dt}\\\\\frac{ds}{dt}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{144-288t+208t^2}}\dot (-288+416t)\\\\\frac{ds}{dt}=\frac{208t-144}{\sqrt{144-288t+208t^2}}\\\\\frac{ds}{dt}(0)=\frac{208\dot 0-144}{\sqrt{144-288\dot 0 + 209\dot 0^2}}=-12knots\\\\\frac{ds}{dt}(1)=\frac{208\dot 1-144}{\sqrt{144-288\dot 1 + 209\dot 1^2}}=8knots$

We know that the visibility was 5n.m. We want to see whether the distance s was under 5 miles at any point.

Ships have seen each other = $s\leq 5\\\\\sqrt{144-288t+208t^2}\leq 5\\\\144-288t+208t^2\leq 25\\\\199-288t+208t^2\leq 0$

Since function $f(x)=199-288x+208x^2$ is quadratic, concave up and has no real roots, we know that $199-288x+208x^2>0$ for every t. So, the ships haven't seen each other.

Attachedis the graph of s(red) and ds/dt(blue). We can see that our results from parts b and c were correct.

Function ds/dt has a horizontal asympote in the first quadrant if

$\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{ds}{dt}$

So, lets check this limit:

$\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{ds}{dt}=\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{208t-144}{\sqrt{144-288t+208t^2}}\\\\=\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{208-\frac{144}{t}}{\sqrt{\frac{144}{t^2}-\frac{288}{t}+208}}\\\\=\frac{208-0}{\sqrt{0-0+208}}\\\\=\frac{208}{\sqrt{208}}\\\\=4\sqrt{13}$

Notice that:

$4\sqrt{13}=\sqrt{12^2+5^2}$ =√(speed of ship A² + speed of ship B²)
