A survey team is trying to estimate the height of a mountain above a level plain. from one point on the plain, they observe that

the angle of elevation to the top of the mountain is 28 ∘ . from a point 1000 feet closer to the mountain along the plain, they find that the angle of elevation is 30 ∘ .

The height of the mountain is 11650 ft.

At the angle of 28 degree apply the tangent law

tan28=\frac{h}{x} Eq.1

At the angle of 30 degree apply the tangent law

tan30=\frac{h}{(x-1000)} Eq. (2)

On solving eq. (1) and Eq. (2)

The height of the mountain is h=11650 ft.

Calculate the resistance of an electric bulb which allows a 10 A current when connected to a 220 V power source
kodGreya [7K]

Resistance can be calculated by Ohm's law

As per ohm's law we will have

V = i * R

here we will have

voltage = 220 volts

current = 10 A

So by the above formula we will have

220 = 10* R

R = 22 ohm

So resistance of the bulb is 22 ohm.

A rotating wheel requires 5.00 s to rotate 28.0 revolutions. Its angular velocity at the end of the 5.00-s interval is 96.0 rad/
torisob [31]

Answer:

The constant angular acceleration of the wheel is 12.16 rad/s²

Explanation:

Given;

initial angular distance, θ = 28

time of the motion, t = 5 s

initial angular velocity is calculated as;

\omega _i = \frac{\theta}{t} = \frac{28}{5}.\frac{rev}{s}  \ \times \ \ \frac{2 \pi \ rad}{1 \ \ rev} = 35.19 \ rad/s

final angular velocity is given as, \omega _f = 96.0 \ rad/s

The constant angular acceleration is calculated as;

\alpha = \frac{\omega _f - \omega _i}{t} \\\\\alpha = \frac{96 - 35.19}{5} \\\\\alpha =  12.16 \ rad/s^2

Therefore, the constant angular acceleration of the wheel is 12.16 rad/s²

Explain why a scientific theory cannot became a scientific law
Maslowich

A common misconception is that scientific theories are rudimentary ideas that will eventually graduate into scientific laws when enough data and evidence have been accumulated. A theory does not change into a scientific law with the accumulation of new or better evidence.
