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

Novay_Z [31]

Correct answer choice is :


B) Petroleum


Explanation:


Petroleum is commonly happening, yellow to the black liquid obtained in geological structures below the Earth's surface. It is usually filtered into different types of fuels. Petroleum outcomes involve transport fuels, fuel oils for heating and power generation, pavement and road oil, and feedstocks for making the compounds, plastics, and plastic elements that are in almost everything we use.

according to newton's law of universal gravitation, in which of the following situations does the gravitational attraction betwe
Alex17521 [72]

Explanation:

The force acting between two masses is given by :

F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{d^2}........(1)

Where

G is the universal gravitational constant

m_1\ and\ m_2 are masses

d is the distance between two masses

It is clear from equation (1) that the gravitational attraction between the bodies always increases if the masses of bodies increases and when the separation between masses decreases.

So, the correct answer is "the masses increase, and the distance between the centers of mass decreases". This is because the force of gravitation is directly proportional to the masses and inversely proportional to the separation.

Which principle states that sediments are deposited in sequence unless they are disturbed
Volgvan

The manner in which the sediments are being deposited unless the disturbance by tectonic processes makes it non sequential is theorized with the principle of superposition.

<u>Explanation: </u>

The principle of superposition lets us know that the oldest sediment layer is at the bottom with the newer at the top. For example, xenolith in igneous rock must be older than the rock it contains.

The formation of sedimentary rocks is done via sedimentation occurring in the sequential basis. Due to tectonic process or disruption or even say faults, the layers are sediment in non sequential manner. The entire manner of sequential layering gets turn upside down.
