A ship moves through the water at 30 miles/hour at an angle of 30° south of east. The water is moving 5 miles/hour at an angle o

f 20° east of north. Identify the ship's vector, the water current's vector, and the vector representing the ship's actual motion.

Answer:

a. 25.98i - 15j mi/h

b. 1.71i + 4.7j mi/h

c. 27.69i -10.3j mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Identify the ship's vector

Since the ship moves through water at 30 miles per hour at an angle of 30° south of east, which is in the fourth quadrant. So, the x-component of the ship's velocity is v₁ = 30cos30° = 25.98 mi/h and the y-component of the ship's velocity is v₂ = -30sin30° = -15 mi/h

Thus the ship's velocity vector as ship moves through the water v = v₁i + v₂j = 25.98i + (-15)j = 25.98i - 15j mi/h

b. Identify the water current's vector

Also, since the water is moving at 5 miles per hour at an angle of 20° south of east, this implies that it is moving at an angle 90° - 20° = 70° east of north, which is in the first quadrant. So, the x-component of the water's velocity is v₃ = 5cos70° = 1.71 mi/h and the y-component of the water's velocity is v₄ = 5sin70° = 4.7 mi/h

Thus the ship's velocity vector v' = v₃i + v₄j = 1.71i + 4.7j mi/h

c. Identify the vector representing the ship's actual motion.

The velocity vector representing the ship's actual motion is V = velocity vector of ship as ship moves through water + velocity vector of water current.

V = v + v'

= 25.98i - 15j mi/h + 1.71i + 4.7j mi/h

= (25.98i + 1.71i + 4.7j - 15j )mi/h

= 27.68i -10.3j mi/h

Suppose a horse is galloping at 19 mph toward a clown, and the clown is racing toward the horse on an ATV which can sustain a sp
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

It will take 1.47 hours for the horse and clown to collide

Step-by-step explanation:

They are driving toward each other, in opposite directions.

So to find their speed of approximation, we add their speeds.

19 mph + 15 mph = 34 mph.

This means that each hour, they are 34 miles closer.

How long it takes for them to find each other if they are 50 miles apart?

1 hour - 34 miles

x hours - 50 miles

34x = 50

x = \frac{50}{34}

x = 1.47

It will take 1.47 hours for the horse and clown to collide

You have a bag which contains 15 slips of paper that are num- bered 1 through 15. You pull a piece of paper from the bag, do not
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is 1/35 (fully simplified fraction)</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of slips of paper in the bag = 15

Number of slips of paper in the bag that are a multiple of 4 = 3 (those numbered 4, 8 and 12)

Using Laplace Rule, that states that the probability of an event X is obtained by dividing the number of results that form event X by the number of possible outcomes, provided that the elementary events are equiprobable, that is, that all possible outcomes have the same probability.

Probability of pulling a 1st piece of paper multiple of 4 = 3/15 = 1/5

Now we have a second event Y that is not independent from the first event X, because now the number of slips is 14 and not 15, you're not returning the first slip of paper.

Probability of pulling a 2nd piece of paper multiple of 4 = Probability of the 1st event * probability of the 2nd event after it happened the 1st one

Probability of pulling a 2nd piece of paper multiple of 4 = 1/5 * 2/14

Probability of pulling a 2nd piece of paper multiple of 4 = 2/70 = 1/35

<u>The probability of pulling two slips of paper both numbered with a multiple of 4 is 1/35.</u>
