Starting from one oasis, a camel walks 25 km in a direction 30° south of west and then walks 30 km toward the north to a second oasis. what distance separates the two oases?

distance between both oasis ( 1 and 2) is  27.83 Km

Explanation:

let d is the distance between oasis1 and oasis 2

from figure

OC  = 25cos 30

OE = 25sin30

OE = CD

Therefore BC =  30-25sin30

distance between both oasis ( 1 and 2) is calculated by using phytogoras theorem

in

PUTTING ALL VALUE IN ABOVE EQUATION

d = 27.83 Km

distance between both oasis ( 1 and 2) is  27.83 Km

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
