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.

Why does carpet tend to produce differences in static electricity more that hardwood or tile floors

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

This is because the rubbing releases negative charges, called electrons, which can build up on one object to produce a static charge. For example, when you shuffle your feet across a carpet, electrons can transfer onto you, building up a static charge on your skin.

Explanation:

This is because the rubbing releases negative charges

1. A car is traveling at 36 m/s hits a tree and comes to rest in 0.05 seconds.

QveST [7]

Answer: a. -720m/s^2

b. Yes, airbags will deploy

Explanation:

The formula for acceleration is:

= (Final velocity - Initial velocity)/Time

Final velocity = 0m/s

Initial velocity = 36m/s

Time taken = 0.05s

= (Final velocity - Initial velocity)/Time

= (0 - 36)/0.05

= -36/0.05

= -720m/s^2.

Since it's negative, it shows that there was a deceleration.

2. Yes the airbag will deploy since the acceleration gotten is more than -600 m/s^2.
