Two ships leave a harbor at the same time, traveling on courses that have an angle of 110∘ between them. If the first ship trave
ls at 22 miles per hour and the second ship travels at 34 miles per hour, how far apart are the two ships after 1.2 hours?
1 answer:
Answer:
49.07 miles
Explanation:
Angle between two ships = 110° = θ
First ship speed = 22 mph
Second ship speed = 34 mph
Distance covered by first ship after 1.2 hours = 22×1.2 = 26.4 miles = b
Distance covered by second ship after 1.2 hours = 34×1.2 = 40.8 miles = c
Here the angle between the two sides of a triangle is 110° so from the law of cosines we get
a² = b²+c²-2bc cosθ
⇒a² = 26.4²+40.8²-2×26.4×40.8 cos110
⇒a² = 2408.4
⇒a = 49.07 miles

Answer:
= 4.38 × 10³⁴kgm²/s
Explanation:
Given that,
mass of moon m = 9.5 × 10²²kg
Orbital radius r = 4.28 × 10⁵km
Orbital period T = 28.9days
T = 28.9 × 24 × 60 × 60
= 2,496,960s
Angular momentum of the moon about the planet
L = mvr
L = mr²w
Strength: able to detect planets in a wide range of orbits, as long as orbits aren't face on
Limitations: yield only planet's mass and orbital properties
