Amelia flies her airplane through calm skies at a velocity v1. The direction of v1 is 15 degrees north of east, and the speed is

180 km/hr.
Eventually, however, she enters a windy part of the atmosphere and finds that her plane now moves at a velocity v2. The direction of v2 is due east, and the speed is 150 km/hr.

What is the speed of the wind?

In what direction is the wind blowing?
(between 0 and 360 degrees)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially, the plane is traveling at a velocity of $180\ km/hr$

toward the $15^{\circ}$ north of east

Then, the wind began to blow, causing the plane to move eastward at a speed of $150\ km/hr$

Assuming $1v_o$ is the wind's speed.

Thus,

$\vec{v_2}=\vec{v_1}-\vec{v_o}$

$150\hat{i}=180[\cos 15\hat{i}+\sin 15\hat{j}]-\vec{v_o}$

$\vec{v_o}=\hat{i}[180\cos 15-150]+\hat{j}[180\sin 15]$

$\vec{v_o}=\hat{i}[173.866-150]+46.58\hat{j}$

$\vec{v_o}=23.86\hat{i}+46.58\hat{j}$

The magnitude of the wind is

$\mid v_o\mid=\sqrt{23.86^2+46.58^2}$

$\mid v_o\mid=\sqrt{2738.996}$

$\mid v_o\mid=52.33\ km/hr$

The direction is $\tan \theta=\frac{46.58}{23.86}$

$\theta =62.87^{\circ}$ north of east

"A sample of 20 randomly chosen water melons was taken from a large population, and their weights were measured. The mean weight

AnnZ [12381]

Answer: (97.98, 112.020)

Step-by-step explanation: We will create a 95% confidence interval for the average weight of melons.

Given the information, we determine that the critical value for the interval needs to be retrieved from a t distribution table due to the sample size being below 30 (specifically, 20), and we are provided with the sample standard deviation (s = 15 lb).

The parameters provided are:

Sample mean = x = 105 lb

Sample standard deviation = s = 15 lb

Sample size = n = 20

To establish the 95% confidence interval, we indicate that the level of significance is 5%.

The formula for the confidence interval is:

u = x + tα/2 × s/√n... for the upper limit

u = x - tα/2 × s/√n... for the lower limit.

tα/2 represents the critical value for the test (which will be determined using the t distribution table).

To derive tα/2, we look for the value based on the degrees of freedom (sample size - 1) against the significance level for a two-tailed test (α/2 = 0.025%) in a t distribution table.

For the upper limit, we calculate:

u = 105 + 2.093×15/√20

u = 105 + 2.093× (3.3541)

u = 105 + 7.020

u = 112.020.

<pfor the="" lower="" limit="" we="" find:="">

u = 105 - 2.093×15/√20

u = 105 - 2.093× (3.3541)

u = 105 - 7.020

u = 97.98

Confidence interval (97.98, 112.020)

A cone-shaped water cup has a height of 3.3 inches and a diameter of 2.7 inches. One fluid ounce is equivalent to 1.8 cubic inch

lawyer [12517]

The capacity is approximately 3.5 fluid ounces. In order to determine this, we need to compute the volume of a cone-shaped cup. The formula for the volume of a cone is: 1/3 * π * r^2 * h, where r equals the diameter divided by 2, which gives 1.35 inches, and h equals 3.3 inches. After substituting these values, we find the volume to be V = 1/3 * 3.14 * 1.35^2 * 3.3 = 6.3 cubic inches. To convert cubic inches to fluid ounces, we use the relationship that 1 fluid ounce is equal to 1.8 cubic inches. Therefore, x fluid ounces equal to 6.3 cubic inches leads to x = 6.3 / 1.8, which results in 3.5 fluid ounces.

Lorne subtracted 6x3 – 2x + 3 from –3x3 + 5x2 + 4x – 7. Use the drop-down menus to identify the steps Lorne used to find the dif

Inessa [12570]

To simplify the expression:
-(6 x^3 - 2 x + 3) - 3 x^3 + 5 x^2 + 4 x - 7

Start with - (6 x^3 - 2 x + 3) = -6 x^3 + 2 x - 3:
-6 x^3 + 2 x - 3 - 3 x^3 + 5 x^2 + 4 x - 7

Next, combine similar terms: -3 x^3 - 6 x^3 + 5 x^2 + 4 x + 2 x - 7 - 3 = (-3 x^3 - 6 x^3) + 5 x^2 + (4 x + 2 x) + (-7 - 3):
(-3 x^3 - 6 x^3) + 5 x^2 + (4 x + 2 x) + (-7 - 3)

-3 x^3 - 6 x^3 results in -9 x^3:
-9 x^3 + 5 x^2 + (4 x + 2 x) + (-7 - 3)

Combine 4 x and 2 x to get 6 x:
-9 x^3 + 5 x^2 + 6 x + (-7 - 3)

The operation -7 - 3 yields -10:
-9 x^3 + 5 x^2 + 6 x - 10

Factoring out -1 from -9 x^3 + 5 x^2 + 6 x - 10 leads to:
Final Answer: - (9 x^3 - 5 x^2 - 6 x + 10)

The equation of the tangent plane to the ellipsoid x2/a2 + y2/b2 + z2/c2 = 1 at the point (x0, y0, z0) can be written as xx0 a2

PIT_PIT [12445]

Answer:

The tangent plane equation for the hyperboloid

$\frac{xx_0}{a^2}+\frac{yy_0}{b^2}-\frac{zz_0}{c^2}=1$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We have

The ellipsoid's equation is

$\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}+\frac{z^2}{c^2}=1$

The equation for the tangent plane at the point $\left(x_0,y_0,z_0\right)$

$\frac{xx_0}{a^2}+\frac{yy_0}{b^2}+\frac{zz_0}{c^2}=1$ (Given)

The hyperboloid's equation is

$\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}-\frac{z^2}{c^2}=1$

F(x,y,z)= $\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}-\frac{z^2}[c^2}$

$F_x=\frac{2x}{a^2},F_y=\frac{2y}{b^2},F_z=-\frac{2z}{c^2}$

$(F_x,F_y,F_z)(x_0,y_0,z_0)=\left(\frac{2x_0}{a^2},\frac{2y_0}{b^2},-\frac{2z_0}{c^2}\right)$

The tangent plane equation at point $\left(x_0,y_0,z_0\right)$

$\frac{2x_0}{a^2}(x-x_0)+\frac{2y_0}{b^2}(y-y_0)-\farc{2z_0}{c^2}(z-z_0)=0$

The tangent plane equation for the hyperboloid is

$\frac{2xx_0}{a^2}+\frac{2yy_0}{b^2}-\frac{2zz_0}{c^2}-2\left(\frac{x_0^2}{a^2}+\frac{y_0^2}{b^2}-\frac{z_0^2}{c^2}\right)=0$

The tangent plane equation

$2\left(\frac{xx_0}{a^2}+\frac{yy_0}{b^2}-\frac{zz_0}{c^2}\right)=2$

Hence, the required tangent plane equation for the hyperboloid is

$\frac{xx_0}{a^2}+\frac{yy_0}{b^2}-\frac{zz_0}{c^2}=0$
