Answer:

d= 64.1 km θ = 36.4º

Explanation:

a) In order to find the plane's straight-line distance from the starting point, we need to know the coordinates of the final and initial position of the plane, so we can find the total displacement, as the difference between the final and initial position.

If we choose to put our origin at the initial point of trajectory, we have that (x₀, y₀) = (0, 0)

In order to find the position of the plane after finishing the flight, we need to find its final coordinates (x₁, y₁).

In order to get x₁, we need to add the x-coordinate after flying 45º north of east, and the Δx after  completing the flight in a direction 25º of east, that we can find applying trigonometry, as follows:

x₁ = 37.0 km * cos 45º + 28.0 km* cos 25º = 51.6 Km

Appying the same considerations for the y-coordinate, we have:

y₁ = 37.0 km * sin 45º + 28.0 km* sin 25º = 38.0 km

Now, as the initial position coincides with the origin, the distance in a straight line from this point to the origin, is just the hypotenuse of the triangle determined by the coordinates (x₁, y₁) and (0,0), as follows:

d = \sqrt{x1^{2}+y1^{2}} =\sqrt{(51.6km)^{2}+(38km)^{2}} =64.1 km

The geographic direction of the displacement vector (which coincides in magnitude with the distance we have just found), is just the angle that this distance forms with the east axis, that we can find getting the tangent of this angle as follows:

tg θ =\frac{y1}{x1} = \frac{38km}{56.1km} =0.736

⇒ θ = 36.4º North of East (counterclockwise from the east axis).

If a teacher had 48 red pens and the ratio of red to blue pens she owns is 6:1, she will have a total of 56 pens

Let the number of red pens be R and the number of blue pens be B.

R = 48

R / B = 6 / 1

48 / B = 6 / 1

B = 48 / 6

B = 8

Total number of pens = Number of red pens + Number of blue pens

Total number of pens = R + B

Total number of pens = 48 + 8

Total number of pens = 56 pens

Therefore, she has a total of 56 pens

A cassette recorder uses a plug-in transformer to convert 120 V to 12.0 V, with a maximum current output of 200 mA. What is the
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

20 mA

Explanation:

We have given that the transformer convert 120 V to 12 V means it is a step down transformer

The turn ratio of the transformer is given as a=\frac{N_1}{N_2}=\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{120}{12}=10 here V_! is primary voltage and V_2 is secondary voltage

As the voltage decreases from primary to secondary so current will increase from primary to secondary

We have given output current that is secondary current so primary that is input current will be less

So input current =\frac{200}{10}=20mA

Describe when the chemical<br> reaction occurs in a dry-cell<br> battery
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

<em>For a dry-cell battery to operate, oxidation will occur from the zinc anode and reduction will take place in the cathode. The most common type of cathode is a carbon graphite. Once reactants have been turned into products, the dry-cell battery will work to produce electricity.</em>

Explanation:

<em>The battery operates through electrochemical reactions called oxidation and reduction. These reactions involve the exchange of electrons between chemical species. If a chemical species loses one or more electrons, this is called oxidation. The opposite process, the gain of electrons, is called reduction.</em>
