A jogger runs 140 m due west, then changes direction for the second leg of her run. At the end of the run, she is 374 m away fro

Answer:

The length of her second displacement = 247.12 m.

The direction of her second displacement = 31.24° from west.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the question,

From the figure as drawn below,

Let the starting point be O. After running 140 m due west, she reached at point A.

∴ OA = 140 m

And At the end of the run, she is 374 m away from the starting point at an angle of 20° north of west.

∴ OP = 374 m

We have to find the distance AP = x.

By using the cosine rule in triangle OAP

cos \theta = \frac{OA^{2}+OP^{2}-AP^{2}}{2\times OA\times OP}

After putting the given value, we get

cos 20= \frac{140^{2}+374^{2}-x^{2}}{2\times 140\times 374}

x^{2}=140^{2}+374^{2} - 2\times 140\times 374\times cos 20

  ∴ x = 247.12 m  

Hence,the length of her second displacement = 247.12 m.

Again,

By using the cosine rule in triangle OAP, we get

cos \alpha = \frac{OA^{2}+AP^{2}-OP^{2}}{2\times OA\times AP}

After putting the given value, we get

cos \alpha = \frac{140^{2}+247.12^{2}-374^{2}}{2\times 140\times 247.12}

∴ α = 148.759°

Hence, the  direction of her second displacement = 180° - α = 180° - 148.759 = 31.24° from west.

there are 750 people at a football game. Out of this number, 320 are students.  What percent of the people at the football game
Norma-Jean [14]
To do this problem you use is/of=percent/100
So:
320/750=x/100
cross multiply 
32,000=750x
divide both sides by 750
x=42.66 repeating

ANSWER: X=42.66 REPEATING

whether the distribution of the mean of a large number of independent, identically distributed variables. true or false
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

The statement is false

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See comment for complete statement

Required

Is the statement true or false

From central limit theorem, we understand that a distribution is approximately normal if the distribution takes a sample considered to be large enough from the population.

Also, the mean and the standard deviation are known.

However, the given statement implies that the distribution will be normal depending on an underlying distribution; this is false.
