*EXTRA PTS* answer #2

a plane flies 5.0km due north from a point O and then 6.0km on a bearing of 060° the pilot then changes course on a bearing of 1

Virty [35]

The plane flies a distance of approximately 10.536 kilometers in straight line and with a bearing of approximately 035°.

A plane that travels a distance $r$ , in kilometers, with a bearing of $\theta$ sexagesimal degrees can be represented in standard position by means of the following expression:

$\vec r = r\cdot (\sin\theta, \cos \theta)$ (1)

We can obtain the resulting vector ( $\vec R$ ) by the principle of superposition:

$\vec R = \Sigma_{i=1}^{n} [r_{i}\cdot (\sin \theta_{i}, \cos \theta_{i})]$ (2)

If we know that $r_{1} = 5\,km$ , $\theta_{1} = 0^{\circ}$ , $r_{2} = 6\,km$ , $\theta_{2} = 60^{\circ}$ , $r_{3} = 4\,km$ and $\theta_{3} = 120^{\circ}$ , then the resulting vector is:

$\vec R = 5\cdot (\sin 0^{\circ}, \cos 0^{\circ}) + 6\cdot (\sin 60^{\circ}, \cos 60^{\circ}) + 4\cdot (\sin 120^{\circ}, \cos 120^{\circ})$

$\vec R = (5\sqrt{3}, 6) \,[km]$

The magnitude of the resultant is found by Pythagorean theorem:

$\|\vec R\| = \sqrt{R_{x}^{2}+R_{y}^{2}}$

And the bearing is determined by the following inverse trigonometric relationship:

$\theta_{R} = \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{R_{y}}{R_{x}}\right)$ (3)

If we know that $R_{x} = 5\sqrt{3}\,km$ and $R_{y} = 6\,km$ , then the magnitude and the bearing of the resultant is:

$\|\vec R\| = \sqrt{(5\sqrt{3})^{2}+6^{2}}$

$\|\vec R\| \approx 10.536\,km$

$\theta_{R} = \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{6}{5\sqrt{3}} \right)$

$\theta_{R} \approx 34.715^{\circ}$

The plane flies a distance of approximately 10.536 kilometers in straight line and with a bearing of approximately 035°.

Rainfall collected in a rain gauge was found to be 2.3 cm when rounded to the nearest tenth of a centimeter.

Korolek [52]

Answer:

(a). 2.251 cm , 2.349 cm, 2.295 cm

(b). 0.023 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a). We are asked to to choose the options that shows the actual measurement of the rainfall.

Since the rounded figure is 2.3 cm, this means that either the tenths digit is 3 with hundredths digit less than 5, or tenths digit is 2 with hundredths digit greater than or equal to 5.

Let us check our given choices one by one.

$2.251\text{ cm}\approx 2.3\text{ cm}$
