Current Attempt in Progress Conceptual Example 2 provides some relevant background for this problem. A jet is circling an airport control tower at a distance of 16.4 km. An observer in the tower watches the jet cross in front of the moon. As seen from the tower, the moon subtends an angle of 8.53x103 radians. Find the distance traveled (in meters) by the jet as the observer watches the nose of the jet cross from one side of the moon to the other.

You watch an ant crawl around on a piece of paper. The paper is 10.0 inches from top to bottom and 9.60 inches across. When you first look, the ant is at the top of the paper, in the middle of the page. It crawls around finally leaving the paper at the bottom right corner of the paper. Using a coordinate system with the origin at the center of the paper, the +x+x direction pointing to the right, and the +y+y direction point to the top of the page, what angle does the line from the origin to the ant's initial location make with the horizontal? Multiple choice: 43.9° above the horizontal 45° above the horizontal 90° above the horizontal 0° (along the horizontal) 46.2° above the horizontal
Starting in Albany, you travel a distance 101 miles in a direction 37.1 degrees north of west. Then, from this new position, you travel another distance 355 miles in a direction 10.2 degrees north of east. In your final position, what is your displacement from Albany? If the correct answer doesn't appear among the choices, choose the answer that has the correct distance and angle, even if the direction reference (north of east or north of west) is incorrect. a. 456 miles 47.3 degrees North of Westb. 246 miles 46.1 degrees North of Westc. 456 miles 47.3 degrees North of Eastd. 296 miles 24.7 degrees North of West

You are the navigator of a ship at sea. You receive radio signals from two transmitters A and B, which are 101.0 km apart, one due south of the other. The direction finder shows you that transmitter A is at a heading of 29° south of east from the ship, while transmitter B is due east. Calculate the distance between your ship and transmitter B. 113.84 x m Draw a sketch of the situation, showing the locations of the boat and the two transmitters. Use what you know about the angles and distances to apply trigonometric relationships. еВook
