Two ships, a and b, leave port at the same time ship a travels northwest at 24 knots, and ship b travels at 28 knots in a direction 40° west of south. (1 knot 1 nautical mile per hour see appendix d.) what are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the velocity of ship a relative to b? (c) after what time will the ships be 160 nautical miles apart? (d) what will be the bearing of b (the direction of b's position) relative to a at that time?

The heater element of a 120 v toaster is a 5.4 m length of nichrome wire, whose diameter is 0.48 mm. the resistivity of nichrome at the operating temperature of the toaster is 1.3 × 10-6 ω·m. the toaster is operated at a voltage of 120 v. (a) what is the power drawn by the toaster? (b) if the cost of electricity is 12 ¢ per kilowatt-hour, and it takes 2 minutes to toast bread, how much does it cost for toasted bread? (c) when the heater element is at room temperature, is the resistivity in the nichrome wire greater than, less than, or equal to it’s resistivity when at operating temperature? explain.
