The route followed by a hiker consists of three displacement vectors A with arrow, B with arrow, and C with arrow. Vector A with

arrow is along a measured trail and is 1550 m in a direction 25.0° north of east. Vector B with arrow is not along a measured trail, but the hiker uses a compass and knows that the direction is 41.0° east of south. Similarly, the direction of vector vector C is 20.0° north of west. The hiker ends up back where she started, so the resultant displacement is zero, or A with arrow + B with arrow + C with arrow = 0. Find the magnitudes of vector B with arrow and vector C with arrow.

Answer:

D_{B}=1173.98m\\D_{C}=675.29m

Explanation:

If we express all of the cordinates in their rectangular form we get:

A = (1404.77 , 655.06) m

B = A + ( -D_{B} *sin(41) , -D_{B} * cos(41) )

C = A + B + ( -D_{C} *cos(20) , D_{C} * sin(20) )

Since we need C to be (0,0) we stablish that:

C = (0,0) = A + B + ( -D_{C} *cos(20) , D_{C} * sin(20) )

That way we make an equation system from both X and Y coordinates:

A_{x} + B_{x} + C_{x} = 0

A_{y} + B_{y} + C_{y} = 0

Replacing values:

1404.77 - D_{B}*sin(41) - D_{C}*cos(20) = 0

655.06 - D_{B}*cos(41) + D_{C}*sin(20) = 0

With this system we can solve for both Db and Dc and get the answers to the question:

D_{B}=1173.98m

D_{C}=675.29m

Insulators have very high .
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Resistance to electrical currents

Explanation:

Conductors have low resistance to electrical currents, and are used to "conduct" the flow of electricity.

Insulators have very high resistance and are used to protect us from the flow of electricity.

How do sea surface temperatures affect evaporation rate?
kotegsom [21]
<span>Answer: The temperature doesn't affect the evaporation rate, but affects on how much of water a parcel of air can contain when saturated which is known by the absolute humidity. Hurricanes are usually happening when the temperature of the sea water west of the Cape Verde islands is over 27 degrees Celsius. If ahead of the path of a hurricane, the sea water temperature drops then it will be less moisture in the air and perhaps the hurricane will fade out. But it is not as simple. How strong a tropical storm is is relative to the difference of temperture between ground level and the top of the troposphere. The greater the difference, the faster the air will rise and the deeper the pressure will be, forcing surrounding air to rush in, thus forming a hurricane force wind. Then there is the fact that the wet adiabatic lapse rate is about half that of dry air. It means that rising moist air cools down slower and therefore rises higher. Hence water is the true fuel of bad weather. But it can't be isolated from the fact that the difference of temperature must be great too. What we often forget is that the tropopause (the border to the stratosphere) is much higher over the equator and therefore, much colder than e.g. the poles.</span>

Why cant halleys comet be seen from earth only for about one year of its 76-year orbit
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

Halley's comet will next appear in the night sky in the year 2062. It orbits the sun every 75-76 years, so this is the time between appearances.
