A hot air balloon is flying above Grovenburg. To the left side of the balloon, the balloonist measure the angle of depression to

the Groveburg soccer fields to be 20 degrees 15’. To the right side of the balloon, the balloonist measures the angle of depression to the high school football field to be 62 degrees 30’. The distance between the two athletic complexes is 4 miles.

Find enclosed file with a drawing and the calculations of all angles and all distances.

These are the results that you will find in it:

<span>Angle x = 90° - 22°15’ </span>

Angle y = 90° - 62°30'

Angle z = 22°15’ = 22.25°

Angle w = 62°30’ = 62.50°

tan(z) = H/a => a = H/tan(z)

tan(w) = H/b => b = H/tan(w)

a+b = 4 => H/tan(z) + H/tan(w) = 4 => H [1/tan(z) + 1/tan(x) ] = 4

<span> </span>H = 4 / {[1/tan(z) + 1/tan(x) ] } = 1.35 miles

<span> </span>a = 1.35 / tan(22.25°) = 3.30 miles

<span> </span>b = 4 – 3.30 = 0.7 miles

I hope it is very useful and you understand it. Let me know.

A tuning fork generates sound waves with a frequency of 240 Hz. The waves travel in opposite directions along a hallway, are ref

Bingel [31]

Answer:

The phase difference between the reflected waves when they meet at the tuning fork is 159.29 rad.

Explanation:

Given that,

Frequency of sound wave = 240 Hz

Distance = 46.0 m

Distance of fork = 14 .0 m

We need to calculate the path difference

Using formula of path difference

$\Delta x=2(L_{2}-L_{1})$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta x =2((46.0-14.0)-14.0)$

$\Delta x=36\ m$

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

$\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}$

Put the value into the formula

$\lambda=\dfrac{343}{240}$

$\lambda=1.42\ m$

We need to calculate the phase difference

Using formula of the phase difference

$\phi=\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}\times \delta x$

Put the value into the formula

$\phi=\dfrac{2\pi}{1.42}\times36$

$\phi=159.29\ rad$

$\phi\approx 68.2^{\circ}$

Hence, The phase difference between the reflected waves when they meet at the tuning fork is 159.29 rad.

In a compound microscope, the objective has a focal length of 1.0 cm, the eyepiece has a focal length of 2.0 cm, and the tube le

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

The value is $m \approx 310$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The focal length of the objective is $f_o = 1.0 \ cm$

The focal length of the eyepiece is $f_e = 2.0 \ cm$

The tube length is $L = 25 \ cm$

Generally the magnitude of the overall magnification is mathematically represented as

$m = m_o * m_e$

Where $m_o$ is the objective magnification which is mathematically represented as

$m_o = \frac{L}{f_o }$

=> $m_o = \frac{25}{1 }$

=> $m_o = 25$

$m_e$ is the eyepiece magnification which is mathematically evaluated as

$m_e = \frac{L }{f_e }$

$m_e = \frac{25 }{ 2}$

$m_e = 12.5 \ cm$

So

$m = 25 * 12.5$

$m \approx 310$
