Suppose that you are headed toward a plateau 4040 m high. If the angle of elevation to the top of the plateau is 2020degrees°,

how far are you from the base of the plateau?

Answer :

The distance is 109.89 m.

Explanation :

Given that,

Height = 40 m

Angle = 20°

We need to calculate the base of the plateau

Using formula of angle

$\tan\thata=\dfrac{h}{x}$

Where, h = height

x = base

$\theta$ = angle

Put the value into the formula

$\tan20^{\circ}=\dfrac{40}{x}$

$x=\dfrac{40}{tan20^{\circ}}$

$x =109.89\ m$

Hence, The distance is 109.89 m.

Answer:

The resultant velocity of the helicopter is $\vec v_{H} = \left(89.894\,\frac{m}{s}, -93.348\,\frac{m}{s}\right)$ .

Explanation:

Physically speaking, the resulting velocity of the helicopter ( $\vec v_{H}$ ), measured in meters per second, is equal to the absolute velocity of the wind ( $\vec v_{W}$ ), measured in meters per second, plus the velocity of the helicopter relative to wind ( $\vec v_{H/W}$ ), also call velocity at still air, measured in meters per second. That is:

$\vec v_{H} = \vec v_{W}+\vec v_{H/W}$ (1)

In addition, vectors in rectangular form are defined by the following expression:

$\vec v = \|\vec v\| \cdot (\cos \alpha, \sin \alpha)$ (2)

Where:

$\|\vec v\|$ - Magnitude, measured in meters per second.

$\alpha$ - Direction angle, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

Then, (1) is expanded by applying (2):

$\vec v_{H} = \|\vec v_{W}\| \cdot (\cos \alpha_{W},\sin \alpha_{W}) +\|\vec v_{H/W}\| \cdot (\cos \alpha_{H/W},\sin \alpha_{H/W})$ (3)

$\vec v_{H} = \left(\|\vec v_{W}\|\cdot \cos \alpha_{W}+\|\vec v_{H/W}\|\cdot \cos \alpha_{H/W}, \|\vec v_{W}\|\cdot \sin \alpha_{W}+\|\vec v_{H/W}\|\cdot \sin \alpha_{H/W} \right)$

If we know that $\|\vec v_{W}\| = 25\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $\|\vec v_{H/W}\| = 125\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $\alpha_{W} = 240^{\circ}$ and $\alpha_{H/W} = 325^{\circ}$ , then the resulting velocity of the helicopter is:

$\vec v_{H} = \left(\left(25\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \cos 240^{\circ}+\left(125\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \cos 325^{\circ}, \left(25\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \sin 240^{\circ}+\left(125\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \sin 325^{\circ}\right)$ $\vec v_{H} = \left(89.894\,\frac{m}{s}, -93.348\,\frac{m}{s}\right)$

The resultant velocity of the helicopter is $\vec v_{H} = \left(89.894\,\frac{m}{s}, -93.348\,\frac{m}{s}\right)$ .

2. What biotic and abiotic factors might influence the wolf and moose population numbers? List 1 biotic factors 1 abiotic factor

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Abiotic - sun Biotic- Plants

Water supply, climate, shape of the land, vegetation, soils and availability of natural resources.

Explanation:

Abiotic means non living so the sun is non living. The sun gives us warmth and the ability to survive

Biotic means alive or living- plants are living and give off oxygen and take in carbon to help us live umm ok

If a reaction occurs when a piece of metal is placed in a solution, what can you conclude about the solution?

Tju [1.3M]

You can conclude that the solution is probably acidic because bases rarely react with metals.
