Find the angle of depression from the top of a lighthouse 250 feet above water level to the water line of a ship 2.5 miles offsh

ore.

1 answer:
Rudik [331]3 years ago

Height of the lighthouse = 250 feet
Distance of the ship from the shore = 2.5 miles
We already know that
1 mile = 5280 feet
Then
2.5 miles = 5280 * 2.5
               = 13200 feet
Now, to find the angle of depression, we can use the formula
<span>θ = <span>tan<span>−1 </span></span>(13200/250)
</span>   = 1.50 degrees
I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and the answer has come to your desired help.

A bald eagle is flying to the left with a speed of 34 meters
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

the speed after 3 seconds is 10 m/s

Explanation:

The computation of the speed is shown below:

As we know that

V = U  + at

Here,

U = 34 m/s

a =  - 8 m/s²

t = 3 Sec

V = velocity after 3 sec

V  = 34 + (-8)3

 = 34 - 24

 V = 10 m/s

Hence, the speed after 3 seconds is 10 m/s

A soccer player takes a corner kick, lofting a stationary ball 30.0° above the horizon at 18.0 m/s. If the soccer ball has a mas
Radda [10]

Answer:

change in momentum, \Delta p=7.65 \,kg.m.s^{-1}

  • \Delta p_x= 6.6251 \,kg.m.s^{-1}
  • \Delta p_y= 3.825 \,kg.m.s^{-1}

Average Force, F=144.3396\,N

  • F_x=125.0018\,N
  • F_y=72.1698\,N

Explanation:

Given:

angle of kicking from the horizon, \theta= 30^{\circ}

velocity of the ball after being kicked, v=18 m.s^{-1}

mass of the ball, m=0.425\, kg

time of application of force, t=5.3\times 10^{-2}\,s

We know, since body is starting from the rest

\Delta p=m.v.....................(1)

\Delta p=0.425\times 18

\Delta p=7.65 \,kg.m.s^{-1}

Now the components:

\Delta p_x= 7.65\times cos 30^{\circ}

\Delta p_x= 6.6251 \,kg.m.s^{-1}

similarly

\Delta p_y= 7.65\times sin 30^{\circ}

\Delta p_y= 3.825 \,kg.m.s^{-1}

also, impulse

I=F\times t.........................(2)

where F is the force applied for t time.

Then from eq. (1) & (2)

F\times t=m.v

F\times 5.3\times 10^{-2}= 7.65

F=144.3396\,N

Now, the components

F_x=144.3396\times cos 30^{\circ}

F_x=125.0018\,N

&

F_y=144.3396\times sin 30^{\circ}

F_y=72.1698\,N

A tennis ball, 0.314 kg, is accelerated at a rate of 164 m/s2 when hit by a professional tennis player. What force does the play
SVEN [57.7K]
Newton's 2nd law of motion:

                    Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

                             = (0.314 kg) x (164 m/s²)

                             =    51.5 newtons

                         (about 11.6 pounds) .

Notice that the ball is only accelerating while it's in contact with the racket.
The instant the ball loses contact with the racket, it stops accelerating, and
sails off in a straight line at whatever speed it had when it left the strings.
