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>

What is the formula for conservation of momentum
olga55 [171]

Answer:

The general equation for conservation of momentum during a collision between n number of objects is given as: [m i ×v i a ] = [m i ×v i b ] Where m i is the mass of object i , v i a is the velocity of object i before the collision, and v i b is the velocity of object i after the collision.

Scientists studying an anomalous magnetic field find that it is inducing a circular electric field in a plane perpendicular to t
bija089 [108]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Scientists studying an anomalous magnetic field find that it is inducing a circular electric field in a plane perpendicular to the magnetic field. The electric field strength 1.5 m from the center of the circle is 7 mV/m.

At what rate is the magnetic field changing?

Answer:

the magnetic field changing at the rate of 9.33 m T/s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Electric field E = 7 mV/m

radius r = 1.5 m

Now, from Faraday law of induction;

∫E.dl = d∅/dt

E∫dl = A( dB/dt )

E( 2πr ) = πr² ( dB/dt )

( 0.007 ) = (r/2) ( dB/dt )

( 0.007 ) = 0.75 ( dB/dt )

dB/dt = 0.007 / 0.75

dB/dt = 0.00933 T/s

dB/dt = ( 0.00933 × 1000) m T/s

dB/dt = 9.33 m T/s

Therefore, the magnetic field changing at the rate of 9.33 m T/s
