Aplane leaves the airport in galisteo and flies 170 km at 68.0° east of north; then it changes direction to fly 230 km at 36.0° south of east, after which it makes an immediate emergency landing in a pasture. when the airport sends out a rescue crew, in which direction and how far should this crew fly to go directly to this plane?

Suppose that a comet that was seen in 563 a.d. by chinese astronomers was spotted again in year 1951. assume the time between observations is the period of the comet and take its eccentricity as 0.986. what are (a) the semimajor axis of the comet's orbit and (b) its greatest distance from the sun?

Acoal-fired plant generates 600 mw of electric power. the plant uses 4.8 x 10^6 kg of coal each day, and the heat of combustion of coal is 3.3x 10^7 j/kg. the steam that drives the turbines is at a temperature of 300° c, and the exhaust water is at 37° c. (a) what is the overall efficiency of the plant for generating electric power? (b) how much thermal energy is exhausted each day? (c) what is the change in entropy of the universe for this heat engine? (d) using the same heat reservoirs, what is the maximum possible (carnot) efficiency for a heat engine?

Will give brainliest! jay rides his 2.0-kg skateboard. he is moving at speed 5.8 m/s when he pushes off the board and continues to move forward in the air at 5.4 m/s. the board now goes forward at 13 m/s.a. determine jay’s mass.b. determine the change in the internal energy of the system during this process.(express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.)
