28.8 knots

Explanation:

The ships are moving as the sides of a right triangle. Thus, Pyhogorean theorem will be useful in the following steps. Next, we have to know that the rate of change in distance, which is called velocity, can be described in terms of derivatives.

First, we have to calculate the distances covered by the ships from noon to 6 PM. In 6 hours, ship A moved 22*6=132 nautical mile. However, their first distance was 10 nautical miles, so 132+10=142 miles is the equivalent of A's displacement. For B, the distance travelled is 19*6=114 miles. From now on, A=142 miles and B=114 miles.

The distance between them is described with Pythogorean theorem, which is $D=\sqrt{A^{2} +B^{2} }$ and when we replace the values A and D, we find Distance (D) to be 182 miles.

Now, let's make the notations clear. The velocity of A and B is notated as $\frac{dA}{dt}$ and $\frac{dB}{dt}$ . The rate of change of distance is also notated as $\frac{dD}{dt}$ . Now, we have to find $\frac{dD}{dt}$ from the Pythogorean theorem. If we derive the Pythogorean expression $D=\sqrt{A^{2} +B^{2} }$ , we would have:

$\frac{dD}{dt} =\frac{1}{2} *(A^{2} +B^{2} )^{-1/2} *(2*A*\frac{dA}{dt} + 2*B*\frac{dB}{dt} )$

The derivation here includes chain rule and derives the interior parts of the parenthesis. When we insert distances for A and B and velocities for derivation notations, the formula becomes:

$\frac{dC}{dt} =\frac{1}{2}*(142^{2} +114^{2})^{-\frac{1}{2} }*(2*142*22 + 2*114*19)$ and the answer is 28.6 knots.

Answer from: Quest

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water

Abasketball star covers 2.65 m horizontally in a jump to dunk the ball. his motion through space can be modeled precisely as that of a particle at his center of mass. his center of mass is at elevation 1.02 m when he leaves the floor. it reaches a maximum height of 1.90 m above the floor and is at elevation 0.910 m when he touches down again. (a) determine his time of flight (his "hang time"). (b) determine his horizontal velocity at the instant of takeoff. (c) determine his vertical velocity at the instant of takeoff. (d) determine his takeoff angle. (e) for comparison, determine the hang time of a whitetail deer making a jump with center-of-mass elevations yi = 1.20 m, ymax = 2.45 m, and yf = 0.750 m.
