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.

What causes a roller coaster to "lose" energy and stop? What force does it lose energy to? Give a detailed explanation that is e
Zarrin [17]

Roller coasters work by utilizing its potential energy. Potential energy is "lost" as the cars lose height, subsequently gaining kinetic energy as revealed by increased speeds (and loop the loop). As the cars of the roller coaster course through the changing heights, it constantly swaps between potential and kinetic energy. Theoretically, this process could be endless. However, energy is continually "lost" because of dissipative forces such as friction and air resistance.

How many protons are in the radioactive isotope 40/19K?
trasher [3.6K]
First we have to establish that the number of protons is equivalent to the atomic number of element. Here I am assuming that you are referring to Potassium (K) - 40. Potassium, stable or unstable has 19 protons.

A 1.50-mm-diameter glass sphere has a charge of + 1.60 nC. What speed does an electron need to orbit the sphere 1.60 mm above th
saveliy_v [14]

Answer :

Velocity will be 3.28\times 10^{-11}m/sec

Explanation:

We have given glass surface has a diameter of 1.5 mm

And charge q = 1.60 nC

Radius of electrons orbit r = height of electron above surface + radius of sphere  = =1.6+\frac{1.5}{2}=2.35mm = 0.00235m

Force on electron is given by F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _0}\frac{qe}{r^2}, here q is charge on sphere and e is charge on electron

F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _0}\frac{qe}{r^2}=\frac{kqe}{r^2}=\frac{9\times 10^9\times 1.6\times 10^{-9}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{0.00235^2}=4.172\times 10^{-13}N

This force work as centripetal force

So F=\frac{mv^2}{r}

4.172\times 10^{-13}=\frac{9.11\times 10^{-31}v^2}{0.00235}

v = =0.0328\times 10^{-9}=3.28\times 10^{-11}m/sec

What is the unit for work is called
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

The unit you should use for work done and energy is the joule (J) which is indeed the same as the newton metre (N m).

There is another physical quantity which is the product of force and distance and that is torque or moment of a force.

The unit you should use for torque is the newton metre (Nm) and not the joule.

Naming the units of work done and torque differently helps to emphasis the fact that work done and torque refer to two different physical quantities although the definitions of both quantities have the product of force and distance in them.

work done=force→⋅displacement→ and torque→=force→×displacement→

Hope I helped
