A 5. 3 ft -ft-tall girl stands on level ground. The sun is 30 ∘ above the horizon. How long is her shadow?

Physics

slamgirl [31]2 years ago

The trigonometric ratios are sine, cosine and tangent. We can use cosine to find the length of the shadow from the calculation as 1.7 ft.

<h3>What is trigonometric ratio?</h3>

The term trigonometric ratio has to do with sine, cosine and tangent which are used to solve problems that involve the right angled triangle.

Using the geometry of the right angle triangle, we can find the tangent of the angle 30 in order to obtain the length of the shadow.

Tan 30° = opp/3

opp = 3Tan 30°

opp = 1.7 ft

The length of the girl's shadow from the calculation is 1.7 ft.

How often is water added to the Earth system?
rosijanka [135]
<span>Water is never added to earth system. Water forever remains in the water cycle on earth, so it goes from the ground, to the air, to the rain, to the sea, and round and round continuously. This cycle means that there does not need to be new water added to the earth, because it recycles any water that already exists of its own accord.</span>

A bat emitts a sonar sound wave (343 m/s) that bounces off a mosquito 8.42 m away
Varvara68 [4.7K]

The time lapse between when the bat emits the sound and when it hears the echo is 0.05 s.

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Velocity of sound (v) = 343 m/s

Distance (x) = 8.42 m

Time (t) =?

We can obtain obtained the time as illustrated below:

v = 2x / t

343 = 2 × 8.42 / t

343 = 16.84 / t

Cross multiply

343 ×  t = 16.84

Divide both side by 343

t = 16.84/343

t = 0.05 s

Thus, the time between  when the bat emits the sound and when it hears the echo is 0.05 s.

<h3>How does a bat know how far away something is?</h3>

A bat emits a sound wave and carefully listens to the echoes that return to it. The returning information is processed by the bat's brain in the same way that we processed our shouting sound with a stopwatch and calculator. The bat's brain determines the distance of an object by measuring how long it takes for a noise to return.

A sample of chlorine has two naturally occurring isotopes. The isotope Cl-35 (mass 35.0 amu) makes up 75.8% of the sample, and t
irinina [24]

Answer:

M_{av}=35.521amu

Explanation:

As in any sample you will have 75.8% of Cl-35 iosotopes and 24.3% of Cl-37 iosotopes you can get the average atomic mass as:

M_{av}=(35amu*75.8+37amu*24.3)/100=35.521amu
