The answer:
the full question is as follow:
 <span>A Texas rancher wants to fence off his four-sided plot of flat land. He measures the first three sides, shown as A, B, and C in Figure below , where A = 4.90 km and θC = 15°. He then correctly calculates the length and orientation of the fourth side D. What is the magnitude and direction of vector D? 

As shown in the figure, 
A + B + C + D = 0, so to find the </span>magnitude and direction of vector D, we should follow the following method:
 D = 0 - (A + B + C) , 
let  W = - (A + B + C), so the magnitude and direction of vector D is the same of the vector W characteristics

Magnitude
 A + B + C = <span> (4.90cos7.5 - 2.48sin16 - 3.02cos15)I</span>
<span>+ (-4.9sin7.5 + 2.48cos16 + 3.02sin15)J
</span>= 1.25I +2.53J
the magnitude of W= abs value of (A + B + C) = sqrt (1.25² + 2.53²)
= 2.82
 
the direction of D can be found by using Dx and Dy value
we know that     tan<span>θo = Dx / Dy = 1.25 / 2.53 =0.49
</span>tanθo =0.49 it implies θo = arctan 0.49 = 26.02°

direction is 26.02°

A packet is dropped from a stationary helicopter, hovering at a height 'h' from the ground level, reaches the ground in 12s. Cal
Ksju [112]
Use kinematic equations to solve:

1) yf = yo + vo*t + 1/2at²

yf = final height
yo = initial height
vo = initial velocity
a = acceleration
t = time

yf - yo = vo*t + 1/2at²

yf - yo = h

vo = 0

Thus,

h = 1/2at²

h = 1/2(9.8)(12)² = 705.6 m

2) vf = vo + at

vo = 0

Thus,

vf = at

vf = (9.8)(12) = 117.6 m/s

I Explain why you feel cold when tap or well water in winter. state with reason.<br><br>​
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

We feel cold when tap or well water in winter because heat flows from hot body to cold body.

Explanation:

Our <em>body</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>in</em><em> </em><em>optimal</em><em> </em><em>status</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>hot</em><em> </em><em>body</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>tap</em><em> </em><em>or</em><em> </em><em>we</em><em>ll</em><em> </em><em>water</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>cold</em><em> </em><em>body</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>Theref</em><em>ore</em><em> </em><em>we</em><em> </em><em>feel</em><em> </em><em>cold</em><em>.</em>
