The angle of elevation changes by 0.0032 rad / sec

Let x (t) be the horizontal distance from you to bird.

Let θ be the angle of elevation of your head.

Then .tan  θ = 20 /x

Differentiating

Sec² = dθ / dt = -20/x².dx/dt

dθ / dt = -20/x².dx/dt.cos²θ

dx/dt = -2m/s   x = 110m

cos²θ = 110²/ (110²) + (20²) = 12100/12500

dθ / dt = 20/ (110)² x (-2) . 12100/12500

=  20 x 2/12500 = 0.0032 radian/s.

Hence ,

The angle of elevation changes by 0.0032 rad / sec

What is mechanical energy​
netineya [11]

Explanation:  

In physical sciences, mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy. It is the macroscopic energy associated with a system. The principle of conservation of mechanical energy states that if an isolated system is subject only to conservative forces, then the mechanical energy is constant. If an object moves in the opposite direction of a conservative net force, the potential energy will increase; and if the speed (not the velocity) of the object changes, the kinetic energy of the object also changes. In all real systems, however, nonconservative forces, such as frictional forces, will be present, but if they are of negligible magnitude, the mechanical energy changes little and its conservation is a useful approximation. In elastic collisions, the kinetic energy is conserved, but in inelastic collisions some mechanical energy may be converted into thermal energy. The equivalence between lost mechanical energy (dissipation) and an increase in temperature was discovered by James Prescott Joule.

When you throw a ball up in the air, it travels up and then stops instantaneously before falling back down. At the point where i
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

The ball stops instantaneously at the topmost point of the motion.

Explanation:

Assume we have thrown a ball up in the air. For that we have given a force on the ball and it acquires an initial velocity in the upward direction.

The forces that resist the motion of the ball in the upward direction are the force of gravity and air resistance. The ball will instantaneously come to rest when the velocity of the ball reduces to zero.

The two forces acting in the downward direction reduces its speed continuously and it becomes zero at the topmost point.

¿Cuál es la frecuencia de una ola con una velocidad de 14 m / s y una longitud de onda de 20 metros?
Margaret [11]

Responder:

<h2>0.7Hertz </h2>

Explicación:

Usando la fórmula para calcular la velocidad de onda que se expresa como se muestra.

Velocidad de una onda = frecuencia * longitud de onda

v = fλ

Dada la velocidad de onda = 14 m / sy longitud de onda = 20 metros

frecuencia f = v / λ

f = 14/20

f = 0.7Hertz

La frecuencia de la onda es de 0.7 Hertz.

Which of the following statements best describes chromatic aberration?
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

The answer is A/B, they're the same answer anyways.

Explanation:

Chromatic aberration is the result when the lens fail to focus all the colors on the same point. The light then focuses in different points,and could lead to causing two images at once. The main culprit of this is usually dispersion.

A human being can be electrocuted if a current as small as 55 mA passes near the heart. An electrician working with sweaty hands
evablogger [386]

Answer:

The lethal voltage for the electrician under those conditions is 126.5 V.

Explanation:

To discover what is the lethal voltage to the electrician we need to find out what is the voltage that produces 55 mA = 0.055 A when across a resistance of 2300 Ohms (Electrician's body resistancy). For that we'll use Ohm's Law wich is expressed by the following equation:

V = i*R

Where V is the voltage we want to find out, i is the current wich is lethal to the electrician and R is his body resistance. By applying the given values we have:

V = 0.055*2300 = 126.5 V.

The lethal voltage for the electrician under those conditions is 126.5 V.
