Tom and Jerry start at the same location. Tom is travelling due east at a velocity of 5 m/hr. Jerry is travelling due northwest
at a velocity of 6 m/hr. After 1 hour, how fast is the distance between them changing
1 answer:
Answer:
The distance between them is changing at the speed of 10.16 m/hr
Explanation:
Consider the sketch attached below.
The question is simply asking to calculate the resultant of the two velocities.
To get the angle between them, we simply use the coordinates of the two vectors to determine the angle between them.
90 + 45 = 135°
from the cosine rule we have
=
+
- 2abcosθ
=
+
- 2 ×6×5×cos 135
= 103.426
c =
c = 10.17 m/hr

AP Biology Question:
Scientists are testing substance L to determine how it enters mammalian cells in a culture. The cells maintain a 120 millimolar (mM) intracellular concentration of substance L . The scientists determined the rate of entry of substance L into the cells at various external concentrations of substance L (10 to 100 mM) in culture medium (Table 1).
