Question
Two toy racecars race along a circular race track. Both cars start at the 3-o'clock position and travel in the CCW direction. Let t represent the number of seconds since the start of the race. Imagine angles with terminal rays that pass through each car as it moves.
Car A is constantly 4.5 feet from the center of the race track and travels a constant speed. The angle with a terminal ray passing through Car A sweeps out 2.5 radians per second.
Write an expression (in terms of t) that represents Car A's vertical distance above the center of the race track in feet.

- On the map, let the +x-axis point east and the +y-axis north. An airplane flies at 880 km/h northwestward direction (i.e., midway between north and west). Can you help me visualize the components of the first velocity, and when the plane flies due south at the same velocity. I understand the answer will be -622.25 for the run, meaning 880*cos(45) for x -axis; the y axis north is 880*sin(45) resulting in 622.5 Please help me visualize the first and second velocity when the plane flies due south at the same velocity? Help me to visualize where one of the velocities due south is zero, and the other is whatever it is. I am afraid I can properly visualize or understand in simple terms what is asked. My point can you help to understand the right angle theorem to the angle.arrow_forwardHiker Harry walks 4 km east then 7 km 25o north of west.

- A spaceship is traveling through deep space towards a space station and needs to make a course correction to go around a nebula. The captain orders the ship to travel 2.7 x 106 kilometers before turning 70° and traveling 2.3 x 106 kilometers before assuming the path towards the space station. If the captain had not ordered a course correction, what would have been the magnitude (in kilometers) and direction (in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis) of the path of the spaceship if it had instead traveled directly through the nebula?

If the captain had not ordered a heading correction, what would have been the magnitude (in kilometers) and the direction (in degrees counterclockwise from the + x-axis) (Counter clockwise: counterclockwise) of the trajectory of the spaceship if it had traveled through the nebula?arrow_forward
- You watch an ant crawl around on a piece of paper. The paper is 10.0 inches from top to bottom and 9.60 inches across. When you first look, the ant is at the top of the paper, in the middle of the page. It crawls around finally leaving the paper at the bottom right corner of the paper. Using a coordinate system with the origin at the center of the paper, the +x+x direction pointing to the right, and the +y+y direction point to the top of the page, what angle does the line from the origin to the ant's initial location make with the horizontal? Multiple choice: 43.9° above the horizontal 45° above the horizontal 90° above the horizontal 0° (along the horizontal) 46.2° above the horizontalarrow_forwardIf A = 4i + 6j and B = 5i + 3j, what is the magnitude of C = A - Barrow_forwardA spaceship is traveling through deep space towards a space station and needs to make a course correction to go around a nebula.
