The latitude of any location on earth is the angle formed by the two rays drawn from the center of earth to the location and to
the equator. the ray through the location is the initial ray. use 3960 miles as the radius of the earth. suppose city a is due north of city
b. find the distance between city a (north latitude 45 degrees 28 prime upper n45°28′ n) and city b (latitude 38 degrees 52 prime upper n38°52′ n).
b. find the distance between city a (north latitude 45 degrees 28 prime upper n45°28′ n) and city b (latitude 38 degrees 52 prime upper n38°52′ n).
1 answer:
The distance between city a and city b is 833.345 miles.
We know that
1°=60'
The distance of city a from the initial ray is calculated as
x_a=3960*tan45.46°=4024.101 miles
The distance of city b from the initial ray is calculated as
x_b=3960*tan 38.86°=3190.75 miles
Now the distance between city a and b is equal to
4024.101-3190.75=833.345 miles
This is the vertical distance between the cities.

Answer:
The sled needed a distance of 92.22 m and a time of 1.40 s to stop.
Explanation:
The relationship between velocities and time is described by this equation: , where
is the final velocity,
is the initial velocity,
the acceleration, and
is the time during such acceleration is applied.
Solving the equation for the time, and applying to the case: , where
because the sled is totally stopped,
is the velocity of the sled before braking and,
is negative because the deceleration applied by the brakes.
In the other hand, the equation that describes the distance in term of velocities and acceleration:, where
is the distance traveled,
is the initial velocity,
the time of the process and,
is the acceleration of the process.
Then for this case the relationship becomes: .
<u>Note that the acceleration is negative because is a braking process.</u>
