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

Assume that the amplifiers on the stage operate at a combined power of 5,000 Watts, and that 80% of this is converted to sound.
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

0.04

Explanation:

Fraction of power converted to sound = 80% = 0.08

Fraction incident upon each eardrum onstage = 0.08/2 = 0.04

Explain how this sand dune was created using the words weathering, erosion, and deposition.
MissTica

By abrasion, the sediment in the wind promotes erosion. The wind scatters sand, sand dunes created. When clay and silt are deposited by the wind. The presence of vegetation ground helps stop wind erosion.

<h3>What  is an erosion ?</h3>

Earthen materials were worn away during erosion, a geological process in which they are moved by water or wind. Weathering, a related process that does not involve movement, dissolves and breaks down rock.

<h3>What is caused by erosion?</h3>

The process through which the Earth's surface ages is known as erosion. Natural forces like wind or glacier ice can create erosion. But when it comes to altering the Earth, nothing compares to a slow, constant movement of water, as anyone who has ever seen a picture of a Grand Canyon will attest.

Silver has a work function of 4.5 eV . Part A What is the longest wavelength of light that will release an electron from a silve
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

λ = 2.7608 x 10⁻⁷ m = 276.08 nm

Explanation:

The work function of a metallic surface is the minimum amount of photon energy required to release the photo-electrons from the surface of metal. The work function is given by the following formula:

Work Function = hc/λ

where,

Work Function = (4.5 eV)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J/1 eV) = 7.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

h = Plank's Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = longest wavelength capable of releasing electron.

Therefore,

7.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/λ

λ = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(7.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)

<u>λ = 2.7608 x 10⁻⁷ m = 276.08 nm</u>

Pls answer need help
igomit [66]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Find the NET forces on the objects

A  20==>

B    0

C  30==>

D  15==>    

So biggest accel = C because it has the most force acting on it

 next is A because it has the next biggest force

    next is  D        then    B ...B has no net force acting on it
