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.

Question 1 of 10
Marianna [84]

Answer:

Option D. ²²²₉₀Th

Explanation:

Let the unknown be ⁿₘZ. Thus, the equation becomes:

²²⁶₉₂U —> ⁴₂He + ⁿₘZ

Next, we shall determine n, m and Z. This can be obtained as follow:

For n:

226 = 4 + n

Collect like terms

226 – 4 = n

222 = n

n = 222

For m:

92 = 2 + m

Collect like terms

92 – 2 = m

90 = m

m = 90

For Z:

ⁿₘZ => ²²²₉₀Z => ²²²₉₀Th

Therefore, the complete equation becomes:

²²⁶₉₂U —> ⁴₂He + ⁿₘZ

²²⁶₉₂U —> ⁴₂He + ²²²₉₀Th

Thus, the unknown is ²²²₉₀Th

What would happen if the Earth stopped rotating?
trapecia [35]

Answer:

the atmosphere would still be in motion with the Earth's original 1100 mile per hour rotation speed at the equator. ... This means rocks, topsoil, trees, buildings, your pet dog, and so on, would be swept away into the atmosphere.

Explanation:

to me, this means we would proabaly be sucked into outer space and could die if no astronaut gear is on

Problem 28.3 Suppose that you are planning a trip in which a spacecraZ is to travel at a constant velocity for exactly six month
iragen [17]

Answer:

v = 0.999981c m/s

Explanation:

Using the time dilation equation

T = \frac{T_{0} }{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^{2} }{c^{2} } } }

T = stationary time = 100 years

T₀ = 11/12 years = 0.917 years

v = speed of travel in the space = ?

c = speed of light = 3 * 10⁸ m/s

100 = \frac{0.917 }{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^{2} }{(3*10^{8} )^{2} } } }\\

(0.917/100) ^{2} = 1 - \frac{v^{2} }{ 9 * 10^{16} }

v = 299987395.57 m/s

v = 2.99 * 10⁸ m/s

v = 0.999981c m/s
