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 cylinder-piston system contains an ideal gas at a pressure of 1.5 105 pa.
Sedbober [7]

The change in the internal energy of the ideal gas is determined as -28 J.

<h3>Work done on the gas</h3>

The work done on the ideal gas is calculated as follows;

w = -PΔV

w = -1.5 x 10⁵(0.0006 - 0.0002)

w = -60 J

<h3>Change in the internal energy of the gas</h3>

ΔU = w + q

ΔU = -60J + 32 J

ΔU = -28 J

Thus, the change in the internal energy of the ideal gas is determined as -28 J.
