A pilot flies in a straight path for 1 hour 30 minutes. She then makes a course correction, heading 45 degrees to the right of h

er original course, and flies 2 hours 15 minutes in the new direction. If she maintains a constant speed of 345 mi/h, how far is she from her starting position? Give your answer to the nearest mile.

Answer:

1199 miles

Explanation:

1 hour 30 minutes = 1 + 30/60 = 1.5 hours

2 hours 15 minutes = 2 + 15/60 = 2.25 hours

The distance she flew in the 1st segment is:

1.5*345 = 517.5 miles

The distance she flew in the 2nd segment is:

2.25 * 345 = 776.25 miles

Since the 2nd segment is 45 degree with respect to the 1st segment, this means that she has flown

776.25 * cos(45) = 549 miles in-line with the 1st segment and

776.25* sin(45) = 549 miles perpendicular to the 1st segment:

So the distance from the end to her starting position is

\sqrt{(517.5 + 549)^2 + 549^2} = 1199 miles

A 0.540-kg bucket rests on a scale. Into this bucket you pour sand at the constant rate of 56.0 g/s. If the sand lands in the bu
romanna [79]

Answer:

a) 12.8212 N

b) 12.642 N

Explanation:

Mass of bucket = m = 0.54 kg

Rate of filling with sand  = 56.0 g/ sec = 0.056 kg/s

Speed of sand = 3.2 m/s

g= 9.8 m/sec2

<u>Condition (a);</u>

Mass of sand = Ms = 0.75 kg

So total mass becomes = bucket mass + sand mass = 0.54 +0.75=1.29 kg

== > total weight = 1.29 × 9.8 = 12.642 N

Now impact of sand = rate of filling × velocity = 0.056 × 3.2 =  0.1792 kg. m /sec2=0.1792 N

Scale reading is sum of impact of sand and weight force ;

i-e

scale reading = 12.642 N+0.1792 N = 12.8212 N

<u>Codition (b);</u>

bucket mass + sand mass = 0.54 +0.75=1.29 kg

==>weight = mg = 1.29 × 9.8 = 12.642 N (readily calculated above as well)

a rectangular block is having 5cm,5cm and 8cm with density of 7.).5g/cm^2. what is the mass of the block​
Art [367]

Answer:

Explanation:

Volume of the rectangular block= V = l×b×h

=5cm×5cm×8cm= 200cm³

Density of block= d= 7.5 g/cm³

Mass of the block= m= d× V

= 1500 grams=1.5 kg

Using evidence from the article, defend the concept that Earth’s magnetic poles have swapped places over time.
Mamont248 [21]

Answer: Scientists found evidence of Earths magnetic field reversal in rocks on the ocean floor at plate boundaries. These rocks have alternating polarity due to magnetization that occurred during their cooling period. Using radio metric dating, scientist estimate that reversals occur approximately every several hundred thousand years.

A car of mass 487 kg travels around a flat, circular race track of radius 53.3 m. The coefficient of static friction between the
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

9.96 m/s

Explanation:

mass of car, m = 487 kg

radius of track, R = 53.3 m

coefficient of static friction, μ = 0.19

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s^2

let v be the maximum speed so that the car can go without flying off the track.

The formula for the maximum speed is given by

v_{max}=\sqrt{\mu Rg}

v_{max}=\sqrt{0.19\times53.3\times9.8

vmax = 9.96 m/s
