Answer:

6.93m

Explanation:

Using the method of SOH CAH TOA

The base of the tree is 12m which is the adjacent side of the triangle to be generated, the height of the tree will be facing the angle of elevation and it is the opposite side.

Using the formula tan(theta) = Opposite/Adjacent

Given theta = 30°

Adjacent is 12m which is the distance the tree is making with the shadow on the ground

Opposite side will be the height of the tree.

Tan(theta) = height/12

Tan30° = height/12

Height = 12tan30°

Height = 6.93m

Therefore the height of the tree is 6.93m

Answer:

6.9m

Explanation:

The situation can be represented as follows;

The height of the tree is x;

The shadow which is 12m on the ground has the horizontal component

The angle of elevation Θ is 30°

   |\

   |   \

   |     \

x  |       \

   |         \

   <u>|     30°( \</u>

       12 m

To find x, we apply the trigonometric ratio;

tan Θ = opposite / adjacent   -------------------(i)

where Θ = 30°, opposite = x and adjacent = 12m

<em>Substituting these values into equation (i) gives;</em>

=> tan 30° = x / 12

=> 0.5774 = x / 12

<em>Making x the subject of the formula gives;</em>

x = 0.5774 x 12

x = 6.9288 m

x ≅ 6.9m

<em>Therefore the height of the tree is 6.9m</em>

In a particular lab, a cube of ice (Tice = -5.5˚C) is taken and dropped into a calorimeter cup (98g) partially filled with 326 g
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

The mass of the ice added = 16.71 g

Explanation:

The heat gained by the ice is equal to the heat lost by the calorimeter cup and the water in the cup.

But for this question, the cup is said to be perfectly insulated, hence, there is no loss of heat from the calorimeter cup.

Heat gained by the ice = Heat lost by the 326 g of water.

Let the mass of ice be m

The heat gained by the ice = (Heat gained by ice in temperature from -5.5°C to 0°C) + (Heat used by the ice to melt at 0°C) + (Heat required for the melted ice to rise in temperature from 0°C to 15°C)

Heat gained by ice in temperature from -5.5°C to 0°C = mCΔT

m = unknown mass of ice

C = Specific Heat capacity of ice = 2.108 J/g°C

ΔT = change in temperature = 0 - (-5.5) = 5.5°C

Heat gained by ice in temperature from -5.5°C to 0°C = m×2.108×5.5 = (11.594m) J

Heat used by the ice to melt at 0°C = mL

m = unknown mass of ice

L = Latent Heat of fusion of ice to water = 334 J/g

Heat used by the ice to melt at 0°C = m×334 = (334m) J

Heat required for the melted ice or water now, to rise in temperature from 0°C to 15°C = mCΔT

m = unknown mass of water (which was ice)

C = Specific Heat capacity of water = 4.186 J/g°C

ΔT = change in temperature = 15 - 0 = 15°C

Heat required for the melted ice or water now, to rise in temperature from 0°C to 15°C = m×4.186×15 = (62.79m) J

Total heat gained by the ice = 11.594m + 334m + 62.79m = (408.384m) J

Heat lost by the water in the calorimeter cup = MCΔT

M = mass of water in the calorimeter cup = 326 g

C = specific heat capacity of water = 4.186 J/g°C

ΔT = change in temperature = 20 - 15 = 5°C

Heat lost by the water in the calorimeter cup = 326×4.186×5 = 6,823.18 J

Heat gained by the ice = Heat lost by the 326 g of water.

408.384m = 6,823.18

m = (6,823.18/408.384)

m = 16.71 g

Hope this Helps!!!
