Answer:

246.979 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

When we draw our picture, we should be able to see that the angle of depression from the point of view is equal to the angle of elevation from the ground. We also know the height, and we are trying to find horizontal <em>x</em>. We must use tan∅ to solve:

tan39° = 200/x

xtan39° = 200

x = 200/tan39°

x = 246.979

Point E is on line segment DF. Given DE<br> EF.<br> 6 and DF =9, determine the length EF
nlexa [21]

Answer:

<h2>3</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

IF point E lies on the line segment DF, this means that all the points DEF are collinear and DE+EF = DF.

Given parameter

DE = 6

DF = 9

Required

EF

Substituting the given parameter into the expression above to get the required will be;

DE+EF = DF.

EF = DF-DE

EF = 9-6

EF = 3

Hence the length of EF is equivalent to 3

When two identical ions are separated by a distance of 4.2×10−10 , the electrostatic force each exerts on the other is 5.2×10−9
Effectus [21]
F = kq2 / r2 
q = ne 
 F = k(ne)2 / r2 
 n = âš(r2F / ke2) = (r/e) âš(F/k) 
 k = 9 x 109 Nm2/C2 
 e = 1.6 x 10-19 C 
 n = [(4.2 x 10-10) / (1.6 x 10-19)] âš[(5.2 x 10-9) / (9 x 109)] ≅ 1.995 ≅ 2
