Two radio transmitters positioned 400 mi apart along the shore send simultaneous signals to a ship that is 200 mi offshore and sailing parallel to the shoreline. The signal from transmitter S reaches the ship 200 microseconds later than the signal from transmitter T. The signals travel at a speed of 186,000 miles per second, or 0.186 mile per microsecond. Find the equation of the hyperbola with foci S and T on which the ship is located. (Hint: For any point on the hyperbola, the absolute value of the difference of its distances from the foci is 2a.) 200 mi 400 mi Ship

Applying principles of dynamics, with step by step solutions pls (i give 5 stars) A freighter is moving at a speed of 8 nautical miles per hour. The engines then had to be suddenly stopped. If it takes 10 minutes for the freighter to reduce its speed to 3 knots, determine the distance moved by the ship and its speed at the end of this interval. The deceleration of the ship is propor-tional to the square of its speed such that a = -kV^2.

We investigated a jet landing on an aircraft carrier. In a later maneuver,the jet comes in for a landing on solid ground with a speed of 95 m/s, and itsacceleration can have a maximum magnitude of 6.37 m/s2 as it comes to rest.(a) From the instant the jet touches the runway, what is the minimum time intervalneeded before it can come to rest?(b) Can this jet land on a small tropical island airport where the runway is 0.800 kmlong?

The 100 meter diameter wheel needs to be designed so that it rotates at a constant rate and every complete revolution takes 15 minutes. The wheel has been installed in a vertical plane and the lowest seat is 2m above the ground surface. Each ride consists of only one full rotation. Find a further general expression for the horizontal displacement of the rider from its initial position with respect to both time and angle of rotation and hence determine the speed of the rider when t= 180 sec. Using calculus, determine what the maximum horizontal and vertical speeds of the rider would be and at which points during the ride they occur. State expressions for the acceleration of the rider in both horizontal and vertical directions and show that the resultant acceleration experienced by the rider is independent of where on the ride he/she might be. In designing a new wheel with the same diameter and same ride duration as before it is proposed that the wheel’s angular speed should not…
