Answer:

38.5° north of east

Explanation:

Directly northwest is 135° from east.  If we say east is +x and north is +y, then the components of the acceleration are:

ax = 2.88 cos 135° ≈ -2.036 m/s²

ay = 2.88 sin 135° ≈ 2.036 m/s²

And the initial velocity is:

v₀x = 115 m/s

v₀y = 0 m/s

After, 25.0 seconds, the final velocity components are:

vx = at + v₀x

vx = (-2.036)(25.0) + 115

vx ≈ 64.1 m/s

vy = at + v₀y

vy = (2.036)(25.0) + 0

vy ≈ 50.9 m/s

The plane's direction is:

θ = atan(vy / vx)

θ = atan(50.9 / 64.1)

θ ≈ 38.5°

The direction of the plane's velocity is approximately 38.5° north of east.

An Amtrak going 250m/s comes to a stop in 12s. What is the<br> acceleration?
astraxan [27]

Answer:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}  \\a = \frac{0-250}{12} = -20.83 m/s

Explanation:

you mean deceleration right ? because the acceleration is 250m/s

Which countries that had sea ice along their coasts in September 1986 were bordered by open water in September 2017?
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland

Explanation:

Sea ice is a frozen seawater that floats on the ocean surface. It is formed between the Antarctic and Arctic hemisphere. It disappears in summer but not completely. The countries that experienced sea ice in 1986 were eight (8) in number but the countries bordered by open water were in September 2017 were Norway, Iceland, Finland and Russia.
