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.

Elena L [17]

Answer:

A. 30.38°

B 5.04N

Explanation:

Using

F= ILBsin theta

2 .55N= 8.4Ax 0.5mx 1.2T x sintheta

Theta = 30.38°

B. If theta is 90°

Then

F= 8.4Ax 0.5mx 1.2x sin 90°

F= 5.04N

A object weighing 5 kg, starts to accelerate evenly on a horizontal line. A force moves the object
hammer [34]
Work= force*distance
Work= x*12
Force= mass*acceleration
Force= 5 kg*6
Force= 40 N
Work= 40×12
Work= 480 J (joules)

A 56.0 kg bungee jumper jumps off a bridge and undergoes simple harmonic motion. If the period of oscillation is 11.2 s, what is
andre [41]

Answer:

2.80N/m

Explanation:

Given data

mass m= 56kg

perios T= 11.2s

The expression for the period is given as

T=2π√m/k

Substitute

11.2= 2*3.142*√56/k

square both sides

11.2^2= 2*3.142*56/k

125.44= 351.904/k

k=351.904/125.44

k= 2.80N/m

Hence the spring constant is 2.80N/m

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Velocity

Explanation:

We finds that the winds are coming from the west at 15 miles per hour. This information shows the velocity of the wind. Since, velocity is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude and direction. 15 miles per hour shows the speed of wind and west shows the direction of wind motion.

Hence, the given information describes wind velocity.
