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]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 uniform electric field of magnitude 110 kV/m is directed upward in a region of space. A uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

1.7×10^5 ms-1

Explanation:

From

qE= qvB

q= charge on the electron

E = electric field

v= velocity

B= magnetic field

E= vB

v= E/B= 110×10^3/0.6

v= 1.7×10^5 ms-1

Location C is 0.02 m from a small sphere which has a charge of 3 nanocoulombs uniformly distributed on its surface. Location D i
kkurt [141]

The change in potential along a path from C to D due to a small charged sphere is 900 V.

Given:

Charge, Q = 3 nC = 3 × 10⁻⁹ C

Distance between the sphere and point C, r₁ = 0.02 m

Distance between the sphere and point D, r₂ = 0.06 m

Calculation:

We know that the electric potential is given as:

V = k Q/r   - (1)

where, V is the electric potential

            k is Coulomb's force constant

            Qis the charge on the  sphere

            r is the  separation distance

The electric potential at point C due to charged sphere can be given as:

V₁ = k Q/r₁

   = (9×10⁹ Nm²/C²) [(3 × 10⁻⁹ C)/(0.02 m)]

   = 1350 V

The electric potential at point D due to charged sphere can be given as:

V₂ = k Q/r₂

   = (9×10⁹ Nm²/C²) [(3 × 10⁻⁹ C)/(0.06 m)]

   = 450 V

Now, the change in potential along the path from C to D can be calculated as:

ΔV = V₂ - V₁

     = 450 V - 1350 V

     = -900 V

The negative sign indicates that the work is done against the electric field in moving the charge from C to D.

Therefore, the change in potential along a path from C to D is 900 V against the direction of the electric field.

An empty 2,500 kg train car is headed northbound at a velocity of 5 m/s. Ahead of the first car, an empty 1,500 kg car is headed
Tema [17]

Let the mass of 2500 kg car be m_1 and it's velocity be v_1 and the mass of 1500 kg car be m_2 and it's velocity be v_2 .

After the bumping the mass be M and it's velocity be V.

     By law of conservation of momentum we have

                   m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = MV

                    2500 * 5 + 1500 * 1=4000 * V

                    V = 14000/4000 = 7/2 = 3.5 m/s

So the velocity of the two-car train = 3.5 m/s

Item 19 Question 1 A Ferris wheel has a radius of 75 feet. You board a car at the bottom of the Ferris wheel, which is 10 feet a
sergey [27]

Answer:

y = 104.4 ft

Explanation:

As we know that we board in the car of ferris wheel at the bottom position

So we will have

final height of the car at angular displacement given as

y = y_o + R + R sin(270 - 255)

y = y_o + R + R sin 15

here we know that

y_o = 10 ft

R = 75 ft

so we have

y = 10 + 75 + 75 sin15

y = 104.4 ft

How is the lifetime of a star related to its mass?
Flauer [41]
Stars having less mass collapses early than those with more mass. This can be explained by Einstein's equation E=mc².
According to this equation, mass of stars is converted into light due to thermonuclear reactions occuring in the core of star which acts as engine of the stars. This thermonuclear reactions keeps star alive. Thermonuclear reactions occurs slowly in massive stars hence massive stars live more than light stars.
