You observe a plane approaching overhead and assume that its speed is 600 miles per hour. The angle of elevation of the plane is

19° at one time and 59° one minute later. Approximate the altitude of the plane. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Answer:4.34 miles

Explanation:

first  Elevation =19^{\circ}

After 1 minute Elevation changes to 59^{\circ}

Ditsance travelled in 1 minute =600\times \frac{1}{60}=10 mile

Now

tan59=\frac{H}{x}

H=xtan59

tan19=\frac{H}{10+x}

H=\left ( 10+x\right )tan19

Equating H

we get

1.319x=10tan19

x=2.61 miles

H=2.61\times tan59=4.34 miles

Rudik [331]

Answer:

1)   P₁ = -2 D,   2) P₂ = 6 D

Explanation:

for this exercise in geometric optics let's use the equation of the constructor

          \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}

where f is the focal length, p and q are the distance to the object and the image, respectively

1) to see a distant object it must be at infinity (p = ∞)

          \frac{1}{f_1} = \frac{1}{q}

           q = f₁

2) for an object located at p = 25 cm

            \frac{1}{f_2} = \frac{1}{25} + \frac{1}{q}

We can that in the two expressions we have the distance to the image, this is the distance where it can be seen clearly in general for a normal person is q = 50 cm

we substitute in the equations

1) f₁ = -50 cm

2)  

        \frac{1}{f_2} = \frac{1}{25} + \frac{1}{50}

        \frac{1}{f_2} = 0.06

         f₂ = 16.67 cm

the expression for the power of the lenses is

          P = \frac{1}{f}

where the focal length is in meters

           

1)       P₁ = 1/0.50

        P₁ = -2 D

2)     P₂ = 1 /0.16667

        P₂ = 6 D

Svetradugi [14.3K]
I’m not sure if its correct but I think it’s focal Ray point


For concave mirrors, some generalizations can be made to simplify ray construction. They are: An incident ray traveling parallel to the principal axis will reflect and pass through the focal point. An incident ray traveling through the focal point will reflect and travel parallel to the principal axis.

Doc Brown has calculated his Delorean can accelerate at a rate of 2.52 m/s/s. How
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

304.89m

Explanation:

Given

acceleration a = 2.52m/s²

final speed v = 39.2m/s

initial speed = 0m/s (car accelerates from rest)

Using the equation of motion below to get the distance of Doc brown from Marty;

v² = u²+2as

substitute the given parameters

39.2² = 0²+2(2.52)s

1536.64 = 0+5.04s

divide both sides by 5.04

1536.64/5.04 = 5.04s/5.04

rearrange the equation

5.04s/5.04 = 1536.64/5.04

s = 304.89m

Hence He and Marty must stand at 304.89m to allow the car to accelerate from rest to a speed  of 39.2 m/s?

A 50-kg satellite circles the Earth in an orbit with a period of 120 min. What minimum energy is required to change the orbit to
uysha [10]

Answer: 2.94×10^8 J

Explanation:

Using the relation

T^2 = (4π^2/GMe) r^3

Where v= velocity

r = radius

T = period

Me = mass of earth= 6×10^24

G = gravitational constant= 6.67×10^-11

4π^2/GMe = 4π^2 / [(6.67x10^-11 x6.0x10^24)]

= 0.9865 x 10^-13

Therefore,

T^2 = (0.9865 × 10^-13) × r^3

r^3 = 1/(0.9865 × 10^-13) ×T^2

r^3 = (1.014 x 10^13) × T^2

To find r1 and r2

T1 = 120min = 120*60 = 7200s

T2 = 180min = 180*60= 10800s

Therefore,

r1 = [(1.014 x 10^13)7200^2]^(1/3) = 8.07 x 10^6 m

r2 = [(1.014 x 10^13)10800^2]^(1/3) = 10.57 x 10^6 m

Required Mechanical energy

= - GMem/2 [1/r2 - 1/r1]

= (6.67 x 10^-11 x 6.0 x 10^24 * 50)/2 * [(1/8.07 × 10^-6 )- (1/10.57 × 10^-6)]

= (2001 x 10^7)/2 * (0.1239 - 0.0945)

= (1000.5 × 10^7) × 0.0294

= 29.4147 × 10^7 J

= 2.94 x 10^8 J.
