Radio transmissions show observers in Houston that the International Space Station is 323 miles away, the Chi- nese space statio

n Tiangong is 462 miles away, and the angle International Space Station–Houston–Tiangong is 109 . How far apart are the two space stations?

Answer:

The two space stations are 644.1653 miles far apart.

Explanation:

The distance of Huston and the International Space Station is 323 miles.

The distance of Huston and the Chinese space station Tiangong is 462 miles.

Angle between the two stations = 109⁰

So, applying the law of cosines as;

c² = a² + b² - 2abcosC

From the picture shown below, a = 323 miles and b = 462 miles

So,

c² = 323² + 462² + 2(323)(462)cos109 = 104329 + 213444 - 298452cos109

cos109 = -0.3256

So,

c² = 414948.9712

<u>c = 644.1653 miles</u>

The ability to clearly see objects at a distance but not close up is properly called ________. The ability to clearly see object
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Hyperopia

Explanation:

     In hyperopia ,people face difficulties  to see close up object , but can see object easily which are at a distance.

The main reason of hyperopia is our eyeball.When our eyeball become too  short , then light focus behind the retina. Sowe will face problem to see near object but we can see distance object easily. Hyperopia is the opposite of nearsightedness. Hyperopia can be corrected by using contact lenses.

Once​ Kate's kite reaches a height of 50 ft ​(above her​ hands), it rises no higher but drifts due east in a wind blowing 7 ft d
Margaret [11]

Answer:

dz  = 7.136 (answer)

Explanation:

given height  for kate's kite   = 50 ft  (say y)

due to drift it move towards east =  dx = 7 ft  

string maximum length          = 107 ft ( say z)

we have to find change in z  

that is  dz

it will form a right angle triangle for x , y and z  where x is base y is height and z is hypotenuse

so we get according to Pythagoras Theorem

z^2 = x^2+y^2\\...............(i)

by derivative both side  consider y as constant

2zdz = 2xdx\\dz = {xdx }/z

from (i)  equation

x = \sqrt{z^2-y^2}

dz = \sqrt{z^2-y^2}dx/z

now put the value and find dz

dz = (\sqrt{120^2-50^2)}7/107\\  =((\sqrt{14400 -2500} )\times7)/107

after solving these  we get

dz  =\frac{109.08\times7}{107}  

dz  = 7.136 (answer)
