Two airplanes leave an airport at the same time. The velocity of the first airplane is 750 m/h at a heading of 51.3°. The veloci

ty of the second is 620 m/h at a heading of 163°. How far apart are they after 2.4 h? Answer in units of m. Can someone explain please

Answer: 2727m

Explanation:

1) Position of first airplane after 2.4 h

Constant velocity ⇒ V = d / t ⇒ d = Vt =

d = 750m/h × 2.4h = 1,800 m; 51.3°

2) Position of the second airplaine after 2.4 h

Constant velocity ⇒d = 620m/h × 2.4 h = 1,488 m; 163°

3) Angle between the airplains, α:

α = 163° - 51.3° = 111.7°

4) Cosine theorem

a² = b² + c² - 2bc cosine (α)

b = 1,800 m (calcualted in part 1)

c = 1,488m (calculated in part 2)

α = 111.7°

⇒ a² = (1,800m)² + (1,488m)² - 2(1,800m)(1,488m) cos(111.7°) = 7,434,803 m²

⇒ a = √(7,434,803 m²) = 2,726.7 m ≈ 2,727m

a is the distance that separate the two airplains after 2.4 h

Refer to the diagram shown below.

In 2.4 hours, the distance traveled by the first airplane heading a 51.3° at 750 mph is 
a = 750*2.4 = 1800 miles.

The second airplane travels
b = 620*2.4 = 1488 mile

The angle between the two airplanes is
163° - 51.3° = 111.7°

Let c =  the distance between the two airplanes after 2.4 hours.
From the Law of Cosines, obtain
c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos(111.7°)
    = 3.24 x 10⁶ + 2.2141 x 10⁶
c = 2335.41 miles

Answer: 2335.4 miles

Ugo [173]

Answer:

+1 m/s^2

Explanation:

Acceleration is given by

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

where

\Delta v is the change in velocity

\Delta t is the time interval in which the change in velocity occurs

To find the acceleration at 1 second, we can take the data at t = 1 s and t = 2. We find:

\Delta t = -3 -(-4) = 1 s

\Delta v = 2 - (1) = +1 m/s

So, the acceleration is

a=\frac{+1}{1}=+1 m/s^2

Can someone make an introduction about the "flu shot " and the pro and cons of flu shots.The question is "the benefits outweigh
steposvetlana [31]
Someone can make an introduction about getting a flu shot because, mostly everyone in the world have gotten or just got a flu shot. One example of a pro is that, a flu shot can prevent the flu, and other deadly sicknesses. On example of a con is that, some flu shots can carry side effects which is something that should be tested before given to adults and especially kids!!! Hope this helps!!! Good luck

Heat transfers energy from a hot object to a cold object. Both objects are isolated from their surroundings. The change in entro
aniked [119]

To develop this problem we will start from the definition of entropy as a function of total heat, temperature. This definition is mathematically described as

S = \frac{Q}{T}

Here,

Q = Total Heat

T = Temperature

The total change of entropy from a cold object to a hot object is given by the relationship,

\Delta S = \frac{Q}{T_{cold}}-\frac{Q}{T_{hot}}

From this relationship we can realize that the change in entropy by the second law of thermodynamics will be positive. Therefore the temperature in the hot body will be higher than that of the cold body, this implies that this term will be smaller than the first, and in other words it would imply that the magnitude of the entropy 'of the hot body' will always be less than the entropy 'cold body'

Change in entropy \Delta S_{hot} is smaller than \Delta S_{cold}

Therefore the correct answer is C. Will always have a smaller magnitude than the change in entropy of the cold object

Convert 7.93 lbs into grams. Hint: 1 kg = 2.2 lbs
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

7.93 lbs is equal to 3596.987 grams.

Explanation:

The weight in grams is equal to the pounds multiplied by 453.59237.

So... you would multiply 7.93 by 453.59237.

7.93 x 453.59237 = 3596.987

Hope that helped!
