HJ is twice JK. J is between H and K. If HJ= 4x and HK=78, find Jk.

1 answer:

6 0

You'll find it easier to understand if you illustrate the problem as what is shown in the attached picture. From the illustration and the problem description, two equations can be formulated:

HJ = 2JK
HJ + JK = HK

2JK + JK = 78
3JK = 78
JK = 78/3
JK = 26

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

4589.75J

Step-by-step explanation:

Kinetic energy = 1/2 x M x v^2

Given

Mass M = 55.0kg

V = 12.92m/s

Kinetic energy

= 1/2 x 55.0 x (12.92)^2

= 1/2 x 55.0 x (12.92 x 12.92)

= 1/2 x 55.0 x 166.9

Multiply through

= 9179.5/2

= 4589.75J

4. A cruise ship travels in the direction of 55degrees for 40 miles, then changes course to a direction of 100 degrees for 35 mi

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

69.3 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the distance of the ship from its original position.

x²= 40² + 35² -2(40)(35)cos(135)

$x^{2} =4804.9$

$\sqrt{x} ^{2} = \sqrt{4804.9}$

x= 69.3 mi
