If its coordinates are (2.000 m, 1.000 m), (a) how far is it from the corner of the screen? (b) What is its location in polar coordinates?
on december 25, 2004, during a NASA mission to Saturn, the spacecraft Cassini released a probe named Huygens, which landed on the Saturnian moon titan on January 14, 2005. huygens was released from the main spacecraft at a gentle relative speed of 31 cm/s. As Huygens moved away, it rotated at a rate of 7 revolutions per minute.(a) How many revolutions had huygens completed when it was 150m from Cassini? (b) How far did Huygens moved away from cassini during each revolution? give your answer in meters

Two siblings, Kaeya and Diluc, decided to take a walk around Mondstadt, following its perimeter guarded by walls. For those who haven't seen Mondstadt, you can imagine it as a city of walls with beautiful German architecture. Let's roughly assume that the walls are encircling it in a perfect circle. Both Kaeya and Diluc started at the front of the huge city gate (marked at 0 degrees), and they walk separately, away from each other. Assuming that radius of the circular city of Mondstadt to be 500 m, and the constant walking speed of both siblings to be 0.5 m/s, how long until the siblings achieve the greatest separation distance between them? 2. Please refer to the following vectors:A = 6i + 2j - 3kB = 3i - j - 2kC = -i + j - 4kD = j - 3kE = -i + 2kF = -5kG = 2iH = -3jI = -4i +4j Find the projection of vector C on vector D.arrow_forward
- The biggest stuffed animal in the world is a snake 420 m long, constructed by Norwegian children. Suppose the snake is laid out in a park as shown in the figure below, forming two straight sides of a 95° angle, with one side 165 m long. Olaf and Inge run a race they invent. Inge runs directly from the tail of the snake to its head, and Olaf starts from the same place at the same time but runs along the snake.(a) If both children run steadily at 5.0 km/h, Inge reaches the head of the snake how much earlier than Olaf?(b) If Inge runs the race again at a constant speed of 5.0 km/h, at what constant speed must Olaf run to reach the end of the snake at the same time as Inge?arrow_forwardC=F, D, B=E, A A, B, D, F, E, C D, F, E, C, A, B C, E, F, D, B, A C, F, D, E, B, A *The picture is the question, I'm stuck with which answer it would be thougharrow_forwardA student bikes to school by traveling first N = 1.00 miles north, then W = 0.400 miles west, and finally S = 0.200 miles south. a.
