The opposition to current in an electrical circuit is called its impedance. The impedance z in a parallel circuit with two pathways satisfies the equation 1z=1z1+1z2 where z1 is the impedance (in ohms) of pathway 1 and z2 is the impedance (in ohms) of pathway 2. (a) The impedance of each pathway in a parallel circuit is found by adding the impedances of all components in the pathway. Use the table to find z1 and z2 (b) Find the impedance z.
Three holes are bored in a checking gage. The lower left edge of the gage is the reference point for the hole locations. Sketch the hole locations and determine the missing distances. From the reference point: Hole #1 is 1332 to the right, and 158up. Hole #2 is 2164 to the right, and 2316up. Hole #3 is 314to the right, and 312up. Determine: a. The horizontal distance between hole #1 and hole #2. b. The horizontal distance between hole #2 and hole #3. c. The horizontal distance between hole #1 and hole #3. d. The vertical distance between hole #1 and hole #2. e. The vertical distance between hole #2 and hole #3. f. The vertical distance between hole #1 and hole #3.

A Jet blue air plane is flying directly toward the airport, which is 20 miles away. The Jet blue pilot notices a Delta airplane 45° to her right. The Delta airplane is also flying directly toward the airport. The pilot of the Delta airplane calculates that the Jet blue airplanes 50° to his left. Based on that information, how far is the Delta plane from the airport?Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
The Blue Angels, the Navy's elite flying squadron, have performed for more than 427 million fans since their inception in 1946.† Suppose the two Blue Angel jets at points P and A in the diagram have elevations of 1570 feet and 1000 feet, respectively. Both are flying east toward the viewing crowd at T. From T, the measure of the angle of elevation of jet P is 5°, and the measure of the angle of elevation of jet A is 2.2°. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) (a) How far from the crowd is each of the jets? Plane P ft Plane A ft (b) Find the distance d between the nose tip of jet A and the nose tip of jet P.d = ft(c) What is the ground distance from the nose tip of each jet from the crowd?

Q2. When the angle of elevation of the sun is 62⁰, the shadow cast by a vertical pole is 10m long. Find the height of the pole to one decimal place. Q3. Two ships K and T leave harbour at the same time. T sails South 40⁰ East while K sails North 65⁰ East. After one hour, K has travelled 20km and T is then directly south of K. Calculate correct to the nearest km/hr, the speed at which T is travelling. Q4. Two sides of a triangular field are 9m and 13.5 m respectively, and the angle between them is 88⁰. Find the length of the third side correct to two decimal places.
A snowboarder rode a ski lift five miles directly to the summit of a mountain. The angle of elevation from the base of the ski lift to the peak is 31o. There is a second lift that has a base on the opposite sideof the mountain but that climbs to the same point on the summit. If the length from the bottom of one ski lift to the other ski lift (straight through the mountain) is 21 miles, how long is the second ski lift? Roundanswer to two decimal places and include units.
