- The answer seems incorrect. Maybe it's because of multiplying wrong angles while calculating the x and y components. Please recheck and correct the answer.arrow_forwardYou drive out of a car dealership and go 10 miles east, and then 8 miles south. Then your friend drives 8 miles west, and 6 miles north.

The metric prefix mega means million (10^6). a) How much mass (kg) would be required to release 1 MJ of energy?arrow_forward
- A high tech company uses a satellite to measure the size of features on the surface of the earth. They use this technology to measure a particular rectangular field and find it's length to be 444 ± 1.8 in meters and it's width to be 198 ± 1.63 in meters. They plan to report the perimeter (sum of two lengths and two widths) of the field as P± SP in units of yards. (1 meter = 1.094 yards) What is SP?arrow_forwardExpress the answer in standard scientific notation with the appropriate number of significant figures.
