By establishing a coordinate system where positive x is east and positive y is north, this can be addressed through vector addition.

A = <40cos(45), 40sin(45)>
B = <-60cos(60), 60sin(60)>
C = <0, -50>

R = A + B + C yields <-1.72, 80.25>

Thus, the necessary vector to return him home is -R.

Resulting in <1.72, -80.25>

Answer:

Part A. At least 6 hours

Part B. In less than 2.5 hours, Elijah will fall behind Mercedes

Part C. In over 2.5 hours, Elijah will lead Aubrey

Step-by-step explanation:

D = distance

v = speed

t = time

Formula connecting D, v, and t:

D=v\cdot t

Part A.

Steve's speed: v=3.5\ mph

Distance: a minimum of 21 miles

Time: unknown, so

3.5\cdot t\ge 21\\ \\35t\ge 210\ [\text{Multiplied by 10}]\\ \\t\ge \dfrac{210}{35}\\ \\t\ge \dfrac{30}{5}\\ \\t\ge 6

It would require Steve a minimum of 6 hours to traverse at least 21 miles on Day 1.

Part B.

Mercedes's speed: v_M=2.4\ mph

Elijah's speed: v_E=3.2\ mph

Elijah's Distance walked: D_E miles

Mercedes's Distance walked: D_M miles

Time: x hours

Mercedes is 2 miles ahead, therefore

D_E=3.2x\\ \\D_M=2.4x+2

Elijah will trail behind until

D_E

In 2.5 hours, Elijah will close the gap on Mercedes, and in less than 2.5 hours, Elijah will trail behind her.

Part C.

Aubrey's speed: v_M=3\ mph

Elijah's speed: v_E=3.2\ mph

Elijah's Distance walked: D_E miles

Aubrey's Distance walked: D_A miles

Time: x hours

At the beginning of Day 3, Elijah starts from Mile 42, while Aubrey begins at Mile 42.5.

D_E=42+3.2x\\ \\D_A=42.5+3x

Elijah will be ahead of Aubrey when

D_E>D_A\\ \\42+3.2x> 42.5+3x\\ \\3.2x-3x>42.5-42\\ \\0.2x>0.5\\ \\2x>5\ [\text{Multiplied by 10}]\\ \\x>\dfrac{5}{2}\\ \\x>2.5\ hours

In 2.5 hours, Elijah will surpass Aubrey, and after more than 2.5 hours, Elijah will outpace Aubrey.

In △ABC , m∠A=53°,m∠B=17°, and a=27. Find the perimeter of the triangle.
lawyer [12517]
Utilizing the Law of Sines (sinA/a=sinB/b=sinC/c) and recognizing that the angles in a triangle add up to 180°.

The angle C calculates to 180-53-17=110°

Thus, we have 27/sin53=b/sin17=c/sin110

This leads to b=27sin17/sin53, c=27sin110/sin53

The perimeter is defined as a+b+c, so

p=27+27sin17/sin53+27sin110/sin53 units

p≈68.65 units (rounded to the nearest hundredth of a unit)

Which scatter plot has a correlation coefficient closest to r=1
Inessa [12570]

Answer:

The answer is the scatter plot that displays a pronounced positive slope along the curve of best fit.

Step-by-step explanation:

A scatter plot illustrates the relationships between two variables for an individual. It is essentially a graph in which a best-fit curve is drawn to encapsulate the complete dataset. A scatter plot is considered to have a robust correlation if the correlation coefficient is near r = 1, indicating a very strong connection between the two variables.

A scatter plot exhibits a solid correlation when its data points are closely aligned to the line or curve of best fit.

For r = 1, the correlation is regarded as strong and positive.

Answer:

d) Both blocks experienced equivalent energy loss due to friction

Explanation:

As stated in the question, two tractors are pulling two identical stone blocks the same distance across similar surfacesAdditionally, block A moves at double the speed of block B when completing the race

This implies both blocks suffer from comparable friction loss

Moreover, we understand that

Energy loss from friction is E(X) = np

Thus, the friction loss should be identical for both blocks

therefore, option d is the accurate choice p = 0.98
