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

inal course, and flies 2 h in the new direction. If she maintains a constant speed of 690 mi/h, how far is she from her starting position

Answer:

2406 miles

Explanation:

Let A be the starting position, B the junction position and C the final position after flying the 3.5 hrs. Also, let b be the distance from the starting point:

\angle ABC =(180-10) \textdegree=170\textdegree

#Distance traveled in 1.5hrs is;

c=690x1.5\\=1035mi

#Distance traveled in next two hrs:

a=690\times 2\\=1380mi

#Now using the Cosine Rule:

b^2=a^2+c^2-2ab\cos B\\\\=1380^2+1035^2-2(1380)(1035)cos170\textdegree\\\\b^2=5788.83\\\\b\approx 2406.00 \ mi

Hence, the pilot is 2406 miles from her starting position.

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

density of galaxies would be \frac{1}{0.27^3} times higher which is equal to 50.81.

It means  in a cube that today contains one galaxy the size of the Milky Way, we would instead find 50.81 galaxies this size.

You can round this off to 52

An object of mass 3.00kg, moving with an initial velocity of 5.00 i^ m/s , collides with and sticks to an object of mass 2.00 kg
musickatia [10]

The final velocity of the composite object is 6/5 m/sec.

<h3>what is velocity?</h3>
  • Velocity is the direction at which an item is moving and serves as a measure of the rate at which its location is changing as seen from a certain point of view and as measured by a specific unit of time (for example, 60 km/h northbound).
  • In kinematics, the area of classical mechanics that deals with the motion of bodies, velocity is a basic idea.
  • A physical vector quantity called velocity must have both a magnitude and a direction in order to be defined.
  • Speed is the scalar absolute value (magnitude) of velocity; it is a coherent derived unit whose quantity is measured in metres per second (m/s or m/s1) in the SI (metric system).
