A 200-foot tall monument is located in the distance. From a window in a building, a person determines that the angle of elevatio

n to the top of the monument is 13°, and that the angle of depression to the bottom of the tower is 4°. How far is the person from the monument? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Answer:

665 ft

Explanation:

Let d be the distance from the person to the monument. Note that d is perpendicular to the monument and would make 2 triangles with the monuments, 1 up and 1 down.

The side length of the up right-triangle knowing the other side is d and the angle of elevation is 13 degrees is

dtan13^0 = 0.231d

Similarly, the side length of the down right-triangle knowing the other side is d and the angle of depression is 4 degrees

dtan4^0 = 0.07d

Since the 2 sides length above make up the 200 foot monument, their total length is

0.231d + 0.07d = 200

0.301 d = 200

d = 200 / 0.301 = 665 ft

3. Maverick and Goose are flying a training mission in their F-14. They are
Elanso [62]

Answer:

A. The bomb will take <em>17.5 seconds </em>to hit the ground

B. The bomb will land <em>12040 meters </em>on the ground ahead from where they released it

Explanation:

Maverick and Goose are flying at an initial height of y_0=1500m, and their speed is v=688 m/s

When they release the bomb, it will initially have the same height and speed as the plane. Then it will describe a free fall horizontal movement

The equation for the height y with respect to ground in a horizontal movement (no friction) is

y=y_0 - \frac{gt^2}{2}    [1]

With g equal to the acceleration of gravity of our planet and t the time measured with respect to the moment the bomb was released

The height will be zero when the bomb lands on ground, so if we set y=0 we can find the flight time

The range (horizontal displacement) of the bomb x is

x = v.t     [2]

Since the bomb won't have any friction, its horizontal component of the speed won't change. We need to find t from the equation [1] and replace it in equation [2]:

Setting y=0 and isolating t we get

t=\sqrt{\frac{2y_0}{g}}

Since we have y_0=1500m

t=\sqrt{\frac{2(1500)}{9.8}}

t=17.5 sec

Replacing in [2]

x = 688\ m/sec \ (17.5sec)

x = 12040\ m

A. The bomb will take 17.5 seconds to hit the ground

B. The bomb will land 12040 meters on the ground ahead from where they released it

A flywheel of J = 50 kg-m2 initially standing still is subjected to a constant torque. If the angular velocity reaches 20 Hz in
Karolina [17]

Answer:

\tau = 1256.5\ N.m

Explanation:

given,

J = 50 kg-m²

frequency, f = 20 Hz

time ,t = 5 s

we know,

angular velocity = 2 π f

ω = 2 π x 20

ω = 125.66 rad/s

now, angular acceleration calculation

\alpha = \dfrac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}

\alpha = \dfrac{125.66-0}{5}

   α = 25.13 rad/s²

Torque given to the flywheel.

    \tau = I \alpha

    \tau = 50\times 25.13

    \tau = 1256.5\ N.m

Torque of the given  flywheel is equal to \tau = 1256.5\ N.m
