Answer:

x=65.55m

Explanation:

Let x be the distance to the shore

From trigonometry properties:

tan(40^{o} )=\frac{55m}{x} \\x=\frac{55m}{tan(40^{o} )} \\x=65.55m

lubasha [3.4K]
The angular speed can be solve using the formula:
w = v / r
where w is the angular speed
v is the linear velocity
r is the radius of the object

w = ( 5 m / s ) / ( 5 cm ) ( 1 m / 100 cm )
w = 100 per second
