A pilot flies in a straight path for 1 hour and 30 min. she then makes a course correction, heading 10 degrees to the right of h

er original course, and flies 2 hours in the new direction. if she maintains a constant speed of 685 miles per hour, how far is she from her starting position?

The pilot makes a big triangle with her flight path. The longest side will be her distance from the start as the crow flies.

Use the Law of Cosines (deg mode on a calculator):

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab(cos C)

C = 170 degrees (only a 10 deg correction from 180)

a = 685 x 1.5 = 1027.5 miles

b = 685 x 2 = 1370 miles

It doesn’t matter which side is a and which side is b.

Now plug in the values and solve for c. Hope this helps.

The acceleration of gravity is -9.8 m/s2. A sling shot fires a rock straight up into the air with a speed of +39.2 m/s. 1. what
Vanyuwa [196]

Given that,

The acceleration of gravity is -9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity, u = 39.2 m/s

Time, t = 2 s

To find,

The final velocity of the shot.

Solution,

Let v is the final velocity of sling shot. Using first equation of motion to find it.

v = u +at

Here, a = -g

v = u-gt

v = (39.2)-(9.8)(2)

v = 19.6 m/s

So, its velocity after 2 seconds is 19.6 m/s.

A 123-turn circular coil of radius 2.41 cm is immersed in a uniform magnetic field that is perpendicular to the plane of the coi
klasskru [66]

Answer:

67.44 V

Explanation:

Number of turns N =123

Radius = 2.41 cm =0.0241 m

The magnetic field strength increases from 50.9 T to 96.3 T so change in magnetic field dB = 96.3-50.9=45.4 T

Time interval dt = 0.151 sec

We know that the induced emf e=-NA\frac{dB}{dt}

Area A=\pi r^2=3.14\times 0.0241^2=1.8237\times 10^{-3}m^2

Putting all these values in emf equation e=-123\times 1.8237\times 10^{-3}\times \frac{45.4}{0.151}=-67.44\ V here negative sign indicates that it opposes the cause due to which it is produced

An external, frictionless pin only prevents rotation. A. True B. False
stepan [7]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The roller displacement at an external, friction less rotation pin is found to be zero as it has a support which is no-yielding but still provides rotation to the object where as at an external pin a shear force is present and the moment is absent which means that at an external pin its not the rotation that is absent but its the moment which comes out to be zero.
