- A plane takes off from an airport and flies to town A, located d1 = 210 km from the airport in the direction 20.0° north of east. The plane then flies to town B, located d2 = 220 km at 30.0° west of north from town A. Use graphical methods to determine the distance and direction from town B to the airport. (Enter the distance in km and the direction in degrees south of west.)

The radar gun pointing forward in his car indicates that the train is moving away at speed 11 mph. (a) What is the actual speed of the train along the track? (b) Would the radar gun ever read zero when a train is going across the road? Would it ever read a value greater than the actual speed? Explain.arrow_forward
- Determine an equation for the sinusoidal function shown: v (4в/3, 2) (14x/3, 2) (5z/3, 4)arrow_forward#19. A fortress has been built on top of a cliff. You measure the angle of elevation of the top of the cliff from a point 200 meters horizontally away from the base of the cliff to be 30° and the angle of elevation of the top of the fortress wall from the same point to be 45°. What is the height of the fortress wall?arrow_forwardA carousel with three rows of animals has an angular speed of six revolutions per minute The second row of animals is at a distance of 5 feet from the center. Find the linear speed of the second row of animals. Express your answer in terms of pie, and then round your answer to the nearest integer. arrow_forward
- The maximum voltage in a simple generator is V. The changing voltage v as the coil rotates is given by v = V sin(x). The figure below is the graph of this equation for two complete revolutions of the coil when V = 38V. The x y-coordinate plane is given. The curve begins at the origin, goes up and right, passes through the approximate point (45°, 26.9), changes direction at the point (90°, 38), goes down and right, passes through the approximate point (135°, 26.9), crosses the x-axis at x = 180°, passes through the approximate point (225°, −26.9), changes direction at the point (270°, −38), goes up and right, passes through the approximate point (295°, −34.4), crosses the x-axis at x = 360°, changes direction at the point (450°, 38), goes down and right, crosses the x-axis at x = 540°, changes direction at the point (630°, −38), goes up and right, and ends at the point (720°, 0). Estimate the value of v (in V) at x = 45° and x = 295°. (Round your answers the nearest integer.)arrow_forwardWhen being burned in a writable CD-R drive, the angular speed of a CD is often much faster than when playing audio, but the angular speed still varies to keep the linear speed constant where the disc is being written. When writing along the outer edge of the disc, the angular speed of one drive is about 4800 RPM (revolutions per minute). Find the linear speed if the CD has diameter of 120 millimeters. m/s DDEVIOLUS ANSWERS MY NOTES ASK YOUR TEACHER DETAILCarrow_forwardDetermine the period, amplitude, phase shift and how many degrees it is in which direction, the maximum value, and the equation of axis of y=-2sin(3θ+45°) -5.arrow_forward
