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

What is the sum of 9260 and 3240?
Ket [755]
The sum is the result of adding 9260 and 3240 together. Each number can be broken down into constituent parts in order to make addition easier. Each place in the number represents its value, so a 2 in the hundreds place represents 200.
You can separate numbers out this way to make it easier to add them. 9260 can be broken down into 9000+200+60 while 3240 is 3000+200+40. You can then add these six numbers together.

60+40 = 100
200+200 = 400
9000+3000 = 12000

Then add your three partial results together to receive the final answer:

12000+400+100 = 12500

A circuit has a 10 Ω resistor connected to a 1.5 V dry cell. What is the current that can flow in the circuit?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Here is the highly detailed, arcane, complex, technical form of Ohm's Law that is needed in order to answer this question  ===>  I = V / R  .

Current = (voltage) / (resistance)

Current = (1.5 V) / (10 Ω)

<em>Current = 0.15 Ampere</em>

When placed in a ________ solution, a cell will exhibit a net loss of water. the specific process by which the water leaves the
katen-ka-za [31]

The specific process by which the water leaves the cell is called <u>plasmolysis.</u>

<h3>What is plasmolysis?</h3>

Plasmolysis is the process in which the cell loses the water that is present inside it because the environment of the cells produces pressure to build up inside the cell. If a cell is present in a hypertonic solution means that solvent concentration is lower in the surrounding solution, then water comes out of the cell while on the other hand, if a cell is present in a hypotonic solution in which the solvent concentration is higher in the surrounding solution, then water goes inside of the cell. The movement of liquid inside or outside of the cell occurs due to the semi-permeable membrane of the cell.

So we can conclude that the specific process by which the water leaves the cell is called <u>plasmolysis.</u>

As the temperature of a blackbody increases, what happens to the peak wavelength of the light it radiates
lidiya [134]

Answer:

The peak wavelength of the light it irradiates decreases

Explanation:

As the temperature of a blackbody increase, the peak wavelength of the light it radiates decreases, this follows Wien's Law.

A blackbody is an ideal substance that emits all frequencies of light and also has the ability to absorb them as well.

Wiens displacement law, explains that the position of the peak wavelength of the thermal radiation emitted by bodies can change with temperature, and as the temperature increases beyond a certain point, the wavelength begins to reduce. This often changes the colour of the light emitted from heated objects.
