The 40th parallel of north latitude runs across the United States through Philadelphia, Indianapolis, and Denver. At this latitu

de, Earth’s radius is about 3030 miles. The earth rotates with an angular velocity of LaTeX: \frac{\pi}{12} π 12 radians (or 15°) per hour toward the east. If a jet flies due west with the same angular velocity relative to the ground at the equinox, the Sun as viewed from the jet will stop in the sky. How fast in miles per hour would the jet have to travel west at the 40th parallel for this to happen? Show your work and explain your process.

Answer:

793.25 mi/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The radius of the earth is = 3030 miles

The angular velocity = \dfrac{\pi}{12} rads

If a jet flies due west with the same angular velocity relative to the ground at the equinox;

We are  to determine the How fast in miles per hour would the jet have to travel west at the 40th parallel for this to happen.

NOW;

Distance s is expressed by the relation

s = rθ

s = 3030(\frac{\pi}{12} )

s = 793.25

The speed which depicts how fast in miles per hour the jet would have traveled is :

speed (v) = \frac{s}{t}

v = \frac{793.25}{1}

v = 793.25 mi/hr

Hence, the jet would have traveled 793.25 mi/hr due west at the  40th parallel for this to happen.

What is the minimum number of angles required to determine the Cartesian components of a 3D vector and why?
Reika [66]

Answer: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3D vector consists of 3 axes, let's say x, y and z.

Now, a vector P lies in all of them.

So, the angle it makes with x axis is α

The angle it makes with y axis is β

The angle it makes with z axis is γ

So, to determine the Cartesian components or to resolve the vector into it's Cartesian components we need 3 angles with each axis.

To help solve the trigonometric inequality sec(x/3)+4>2-sec(x/3) which two equations could you graph
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

b. y=sec(x/3) and y=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

sec(x/3) + 4 > 2 − sec(x/3)

2 sec(x/3) > -2

sec(x/3) > -1

Graph y = sec(x/3) and y = -1.
