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.

Two solenoids A and B, spaced close to each other and sharing the same cylindrical axis, have 430 and 610 turns, respectively. A
KIM [24]

Answer

given,

Two solenoids A and B

Number of turn

Na = 430 turns          Nb = 610 turns

Current = 2.80 A

Average flux through  A  = 300 μWb

Average of flux through B = 90.0  μ Wb

a) L = \dfrac{N \phi}{I}

   L = \dfrac{610\times 90 \times 10^{-6}}{2.80}

   L =19.6 mH

b) inductance of A

   L = \dfrac{N_A \phi_A}{I_A}

   L = \dfrac{430\times 300 \times 10^{-6}}{2.80}

   L =46 mH

c) magnitude of the emf

    \epsilon_B = -L_B\dfrac{dI}{dT}

    \epsilon_B = -(19.6\times 10^{-3})(0.5)

    \epsilon_B = -9.8\times 10^{-3}\ V

    \epsilon_B = -9.8\ mV

a baseball is hit 3 feet above ground level at 100 feet per second and at an angle of 45 with respect to the ground. (g=32 feet/
LiRa [457]

Answer:

hmax=81ft

Explanation:

Maximum height of the object is the highest vertical position along its trajectory.

The vertical velocity is equal to 0 (Vy = 0)

0=V_{y}-g*t=v_{0}*sin(\alpha)-g*th\\

we isolate th (needed to reach the maximum height hmax)

th = \frac{v_{0}*sin(\alpha)}{g}

The formula describing vertical distance is:

y = Vy * t-g* t^{2} / 2

So, given y = hmax and t = th, we can join those two equations together:

hmax = Vy* th-g*th^{2}/2

hmax =Vo^{2}*sin(\alpha )^{2}/(2*g)

if we launch a projectile from some initial height h all you need to do is add this initial elevation

hmax =h+Vo^{2}*sin(\alpha)^{2}/(2*g)

hmax =3+100^{2}*sin(45)^{2}/(2 * 32)=81 ft
