A red cross helicopter takes off from headquarters and flies 120 km at 70 degrees south of west. There it drops off some relief

supplies, then flies 75 km at 60 degrees west of north to pick up three medics. If the helicoper then heads directly back to headquarters, find the distance and direction it should fly. Give your answers rounded to one decimal place.

Answer:

130 km at 35.38 degrees north of east

Explanation:

Suppose the HQ is at the origin (x = 0, y = 0)

So the coordinates of the helicopter after the 1st flight is

x_1 = -120cos70^o = -41.04 km

y_1 = -120sin70^o = -112.763 km

After the 2nd flight its coordinate would be:

x_2 = x_1 - 75sin60^o = -41.04 - 64.95 = -106km

y_2 = y_1 + 75cos60^o = -112.763 + 37.5 = -75.263 km

So in order to fly back to its HQ it must fly a distance and direction of

s = \sqrt{y_2^2 + x_2^2} = \sqrt{75.263^2 + 106^2} = \sqrt{5664.519169 + 11236} = \sqrt{16900.519169} = 130 km

tan\theta = \frac{y_2}{x_2} = \frac{75.263}{106} = 0.71

\theta = tan^{-1}0.71 = 0.62 rad \approx 35.38^o north of east

A vertical spring of constant k = 400 N/m hangs at rest. When a 2 kg mass is attached to it, and it is released, the spring exte
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

4.9 cm

Explanation:

From Hook's Law,

F = ke......................... Equation 1

Where F= force, e = extension, k = spring constant.

Note: the Force acting on the the spring is the weight of the mass.

W = mg.

F = mg.................... Equation 2

Where m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

mg = ke

make e the subject of the equation

e = mg/k............... Equation 3.

Given: m = 2 kg, g = 9.8 m/s², k = 400 N/m

e = (2×9.8)/400

e = 19.6/400

e = 0.049 m

e = 4.9 cm

A neutron at rest decays (breaks up) to a proton and an electron. Energy is released in the decay and appears as kinetic energy
SashulF [63]

Answer:

5.444\times 10^{-4}

Explanation:

The momentum of the neutron before and after the decay  is the same since there's no external force.

P_{sys}=const\\\\P=mv\\\\K=0.5mv^2

#The neutron is initially at rest, so after the decay:

P_A+P_B=0\\\\P_A=-P_B

#After decay, the proton has +ve direction  with a velocity v_Awhile the electron moves in a negative direction with a velocity v_B

Therefore:

P_A=m_Av_A, P_B=m_Bv_B\\\\\therefore m_Av_A,=m_Bv_B

Let the energy released during the decay be Q:

Q=K_{tot}=K_A+K_B\\\\Q=K_A+0.5m_Bv_B^2\\\\Q=K_A+0.5m_B(\frac{m_A}{m_B})^2v_A^2\\\\\ But \ K_A=0.5m_Av_A^2\\\\\therefore Q=K_A+\frac{m_A}{m_B}K_A=K_A(1+\frac{m_A}{m_B})\\\\=Q=\frac{m_A+m_B}{m_B}K_A\\\\m_A=1836m_B\\\\\frac{K_A}{Q}=\frac{m_B}{1836m_B+m_B}=\frac{1}{1837}\\\\\frac{K_A}{Q}=5.444\times10^{-4}

Hence,Kp/Ktot is 5.444x10^(-4)

Consider the vector b⃗ with magnitude 4.00 m at an angle 23.5∘ north of east. what is the x component bx of this vector? express
BlackZzzverrR [31]
Decomposing the vector b on the x-axis and the y-axis, we get a rectangle triangle where the two sides are bx (x-axis) and by (y-axis), and b is the hypothenuse.
The component in x, bx, is equal to the product between the hypothenuse and the cosine of the angle between b and the x-axis, which is 23.5 ^{\circ}:
b_x = b \cos (23^{\circ})=(4.00 m)(\cos (23^{\circ}))=3.68 m

MrRa [10]

Explanation :

Takumi wears sunscreen and a hat each time he works in the yard. This is to protect himself with the strong radiation coming from the sun. UV rays that are coming from the sun are the main cause of skin cancer.

Stochastic effects are the effects that are caused by chance. Cancer is one of the main stochastic effects.

So, the correct option is (b) "the severity of stochastic effects, such as cancer".
