When we represent what is given to us on a coordinate plane, we have a figure as shown in the attachment.

To find the distance between P and R, we have to find the Net Displacement of the ship (brown arrow in the figure).

For that, we use the rules for Vector addition.

We see that the first displacement D_{1} = 30 km (blue arrow) is along the y-axis, but the second part of the ship's journey D_{2} = 20 km (red arrow) is at an angle with reference to y-axis.

So, we first find the components of the red arrow along X and Y.

Component of D_{2} along X-axis is given by  D_{2x}  = D_{2} Sin 30 = 10 km

Component of D_{2} along Y-axis is given by  D_{2y}  = D_{2} Cos 30 = 17.32 km

We now add all the vectors along X and along Y separately.

Net Displacement along X  D_{netX} = 10 km

Net Displacement along Y D_{netY} = 30 + 17.32 = 47.32 km

Now that we have the components of the net displacement along X and Y, we make use of Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the D_{net}

D_{net}  = \sqrt{D_{netX} ^{2} + D_{netY} ^{2}}

Therefore, [tex]D_{net} = 48.37 km.

Hence, the distance between the ports P and R is 48 km.

describes how the color and texture of a surface affect absorption and reflection of solar radiation?
Wewaii [24]

Most of the radiation, however, is absorbed by the earth's surface. ... Every surface on earth absorbs and reflects energy at varying degrees, based on its color and texture. Dark-colored objects absorb more visible radiation; light-colored objects reflect more visible radiation.

A steel piano wire, of length 1.150 m and mass 4.80 g is stretched under a tension of 580.0 N.
kaheart [24]

A steel piano wire, of length 1.150 m and mass of 4.80 g is stretched under a tension of 580.0 N.the speed of transverse waves on the wire would be  372.77 m/s

<h3>What is a sound wave?</h3>

It is a particular variety of mechanical waves made up of the disruption brought on by the movements of the energy. In an elastic medium like the air, a sound wave travels through compression and rarefaction.

For calculating the wave velocity of the sound waves generated from the piano can be calculated by the formula

V= √F/μ

where v is the wave velocity of the wave travel on the string

F is the tension in the string of piano

μ is the mass per unit length of the string

As given in question a steel piano wire, of length 1.150 m and mass of 4.80 g is stretched under a tension of 580.0 N.

The μ is the mass per unit length of the string would be

μ = 4.80/(1.150×1000)

μ = 0.0041739 kg/m

By substituting the respective values of the tension on the string and the density(mass per unit length) in the above formula of the wave velocity

V= √F/μ

V=√(580/0.0041739)

V =  372.77 m/s

Thus,  the speed of transverse waves on the wire comes out to be  372.77 m/s
