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.

What is the magnitude of the velocity of a 25 kg mass that is moving with a momentum of 100 kg*m/s?
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

v= 4 m/s

Explanation:

Momenutm is, by definition, the product of mass and velocity.

p = mv

Let's replace what we know and solve for whatever's left

100 kg\cdot m/s = 25kg \cdot v \rightarrow v= 4 m/s

A parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a battery until it is fully charged. Then, the capacitor is disconnected from the bat
Helga [31]

Answer:

The potential between the plates will decrease.

Explanation:

An insulator is usually placed between the parallel plates and is also called a dielectric because it makes the amount of charge a capacitor can accommodate to increase at a particular potential difference.

Furthermore, the dielectric effect will make the electric field of the charged capacitor which is not connected to a source of supply to decrease.

Now, when the battery is removed, the charge Q remains constant and Capacity C will increase.

Formula for the potential difference is here;

V = Q/C

Since the numerator Q is constant and the denominator C increases, it means the potential difference V will decrease

Which action might lead scientists to develop new explanations about the
sweet [91]

Answer:

The correct option is;

B. Designing experiments to replicate the conditions in which life may have first evolved on Earth

Explanation:

The proof to the hypothesis that life originated from inanimate inorganic, or non-living  molecules which is an explanation for the origin of life on Earth was provided by an experiment designed and performed in 1953 by Stanley L. Miller and Harold C. Urey which consisted of using chemicals proposed in the hypothesis and combining them through a specific design process to replicate expected atmospheric condition before the life began on Earth.

With such successful design of experiments to replicate the conditions in which life may have first evolved on Earth, it was possible to better explain the hypothesis that life originated from inorganic molecule.

Radio waves travel at a speed of 300,000,000 m/s. WFNX broadcasts radio waves at a
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

Wavelength, \lambda=2.94\ m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of radio waves is v=3\times 10^8\ m/s

Frequency of radio waves is f = 101,700,000 Hz

We need to find the wavelength of WFNX’s radio waves. The relation between wavelength, frequency and speed of a wave is given by :

v=f\lambda

\lambda is wavelength

\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{101,700,000}\\\\\lambda=2.94\ m

So, the wavelength of WFNX’s radio waves is 2.94 m.
