The main way in which an altimeter measures the altitude of an object is by calculating the location's air pressure.

<h3>What is an Altimeter?</h3>

This refers to the instrument that is used to measure the altitude of an object when it is at a fixed level.

Hence, we can see that an altimeter should NOT be confused with a barometer, because although they both measure pressure, a barometer calculates the change in air pressure and elevation based on available weather.

Please note that your question is incomplete so I gave you a general overview to help you get a better understanding of the concept.

Calculate the required rate of return for Climax Inc., assuming that (1) investors expect a 4.0% rate of inflation in the future

Westkost [7]

Answer:

Required rate of return = 18.5 %

Explanation:

given,

rate of inflection = 4 %

risk free rate = 3 %

market risk premium = 5 %

firm has a beta = 2.30

rate of return has averaged 15.0% over the last 5 years

now,

Nominal risk free rate = risk free rate + inflation

= 3% + 4%

= 7%

Required rate of return = Nominal risk free rate + β (RPM)

= 7% + 2.3 x 5.0%

Required rate of return = 18.5 %

A loudspeaker located in air generates sound waves of frequency 1,000 Hz. Some of these sound waves enter a pool of water, where

prisoha [69]

Answer:

1.4 m

Explanation:

v = Speed of sound in water = 1400 m/s

f = Frequency of sound = 1000 Hz

$\lambda$ = Wavelength

When we multiply the frequency and the wavelength of a wave we get the velocity of sound in that medium

$v=f\lambda\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{1400}{1000}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=1.4\ m$

The wavelength of the sound waves in water is 1.4 m

You are standing on a street corner with your friend. You then travel 14.0 m due west across the street and into your apartment

Margarita [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall express each displacement vectorially , i for each unit displacement towards east , j for northward displacement and k for vertical displacement .

14 m due west = - 14 i

22.0 m upward in the elevator = 22 k

12 m north = 12 j

6.00 m east = 6 i

Total displacement = - 14 i + 22 k + 12 j + 6 i

D = - 8 i + 12 j + 22 k

magnitude = √ ( 8² + 12² + 22² )

= √ ( 64 + 144 + 484 )

= √ 692

= 26.3 m

Net displacement from starting point = 26.3 m .
