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.

Despite a very strong wind, a tennis player
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Option 5. 1 and 3

Solution:

The only forces acting on the tennis ball after it has left contact with the racquet and the instant before it touches the ground are the force of gravity in the downward direction and the force by the air exerted on the ball.

The ball after it left follows the path of trajectory and as it moves forward in the horizontal direction the force of the air acts on it.

In the whole projectile motion of the ball, the acceleration due to gravity acts on the ball thus the force of gravity acts on the ball in the downward direction  before it hits the ground.
