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.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The amount of momentum that an object has is dependent upon two variables: how much stuff is moving and how fast the stuff is moving. Momentum depends upon the variables mass and velocity. In terms of an equation, the momentum of an object is equal to the mass of the object times the velocity of the object.

HOPE THIS HELPS :)

A rock has a mass of 25kg. The acceleration due to gravity is 10m/s and the height of the rock is 42 m. Find the potential energ
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

 The potential energy of the rock = 10.5 kN

Explanation:

 Mass of rock = 25 kg

 Acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²

 Height = 42 m

 Potential energy, PE = mgh, where m is the mass, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height.

 PE = 25 x 10 x 42 = 10500 N = 10.5 kN

 The potential energy of the rock = 10.5 kN

What is the role of equations in this course?
Karolina [17]
That will depend on which course you're talking about. It will be a minor role in, say, Maritime Law or Comparitive Religion, but a major one in, say, Particle Physics or Linear Algebra.
