An airplane flies 200 km due west from city a to city b and then 275 km in the direction of 26.0° north of west from city b to city c. (a) in straight-line distance, how far is city c from city a?
relative to city a, in what direction is city c?
(c) why is the answer only approximately correct?

(a) 463.13 km, approximately

(b) 15.09° north of west, approximately

(c) Is only approximately correct because its calculation involves trigonometric functions and square roots that, in this case, cannot been simplified, but rounded.

Explanation:

By depicting a triangle ABC,

(a) the length AC is given by $\sqrt[2]{AB^2+BC^2-2*AB*BC*\cos{\theta_B}} =\sqrt[2]{200^2-275^2-2*200*275*\cos{154}}\approx463.13$

(b) $\theta_A=\asin{\frac{BC}{AC}\sin{\theta_B}}=\asin{\frac{275}{463.13}\sin{154}}\approx 15.09\deg$

quantum mechanics or quantum physics is physics of very small objects (particles) and physical entities.

quantum physics has some parallels to our macro world and some pretty unique ideas which theoretically and mathematically proven to be true even though we will never be able to access them because of our size.

there are many types of particles: subatomic, elementary etc.

subatomic means they are smaller than atom, elementary means they are at the very basis of everything.

subatomic particles are for eg. protons, neutrons but not electrons.

elementary particles are categorised into 3 groups by what they do.

these 3 groups are quarks, leptons and bosons.

light for example is a particle more precisely a photon a part of leptons.

proton (subatomic particle) is made out of 2 up quarks and 1 down quark each of these has a fractional charge like $\frac{1}{3}$ . (i crazy)

most famous scientist who contributed to this physics are:

max planckalbert einsteinerwin schrödingermany

the topic itself us understand a lot and will probably be vastly used in the future (quantum computers, understanding the big bang,

we also must not forget quantum effects like:

superposition (where 1 thing can be this and that at the same time),entanglement (where two particles are seemingly connected by some sort of unknown (or known) force, energy, matter (i know all that can be the same at least it was at the beginning)

and there is more. but probably too much for this answer to be consistent due to my average understanding of this topic.

hope this you understand quantum mechanics a little more. i'm not an expert in the topic (so don't be like wth if you are an expert) but i'm very interested in it.

anyways quantum physics is a very hard topic (harder than physics (perhaps)) therefore searching for every information there is about it and learning it is unfortunately impossible (you can only specialise into 1 - 3 things or more (perhaps

have fun and i wish you luck!
