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.
Physics
1 answer:
Rudik [331]4 years ago
4 0
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.

You need to put a metal rod
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
-- Put the rod into the freezer for a while.  As it cools,
it contracts (gets smaller) slightly.

-- Put the cylinder into hot hot water for a while.  As it heats,
it expands (gets bigger) slightly.

-- Bring the rod and the cylinder togther quickly, before the
rod has a chance to warm up or the cylinder has a chance
to cool off.

-- I bet it'll fit now.

-- But be careful . . . get the rod exactly where you want it as fast
as you can.  Once both pieces come back to the same temperature,
and the rod expands a little and the cylinder contracts a little, the fit
will be so tight that you'll probably never get them apart again, or even
move the rod.

1. A racing car with the driver weighs 1825 lb. Find the kinetic energy in ft*lb when traveling with a speed of 100 mi/hr.
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

1. 610,000 lb ft

2. 490 J

Explanation:

1. First, convert mi/hr to ft/s:

100 mi/hr × (5280 ft / mi) × (1 hr / 3600 s) = 146.67 ft/s

Now find the kinetic energy:

KE = ½ mv²

KE = ½ (1825 lb / 32.2 ft/s²) (146.67 ft/s)²

KE = 610,000 lb ft

2. KE = ½ mv²

KE = ½ (5 kg) (14 m/s)²

KE = 490 J

What relationship exists between the amplitude of a wave and amount of disturbance in the water?
guapka [62]
A wave is a result of the disturbance in the equilibrium state.  There are two types of wave, transverse and longitudinal. Transverse wave affects amplitude while longitudinal wave affects the frequency of the wave. As for the transverse wave, the magnitude of the perpendicular disturbance of the wave is directly proportional to the amplitude of the wave. The higher the transverse disturbance the higher the amplitude.
