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.

g what are the bands of electromagneitc radiation and how are they related to energy frequency and wavelength
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

The details of bands is given in explanation.

Explanation:

The electromagnetic waves are differentiated into different bands based upon their wavelengths and frequencies. The names of different bands are as follows:

1. Radio Waves

2. Micro Waves

3. Infra-red

4. Visible light

5. Ultra Violet

6. X-rays

7. Gamma Rays

<u>The frequency of every region or rays increases from 1 through 7</u>. The <u>energy of rays also increase from 1 through 7</u>. Since, the wave length is inversely related to energy and frequency, thus the <u>wavelength of rays decrease from 1 through 7</u>.

A detailed information of the bands is provided in the picture attached.

Which statement describes steps involved in the production of hydroelectric power?
viktelen [127]

Answer:

Answer is D.......Falling water turns a turbine that helps generate electricity.

Explanation:

Hydropower plants capture the energy of falling water to generate electricity. A turbine converts the kinetic energy of falling water into mechanical energy. Then a generator converts the mechanical energy from the turbine into electrical energy.

Baseball player A bunts the ball by hitting it in such a way that it acquires an initial velocity of 1.3 m/s parallel to the gro
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

cSep 20, 2010

well, since player b is obviously inadequate at athletics, it shows that player b is a woman, and because of this, she would not be able to hit the ball. The magnitude of the initial velocity would therefore be zero.

First you need to solve for time by using

d=(1/2)(a)(t^2)+(vi)t

1m=(1/2)(9.8)t^2 vertical initial velocity is 0m/s

t=.45 sec

Then you find the horizontal distance traveled by using

v=d/t

1.3m/s=d/.54sec

d=.585m

Then you need to find the time of player B by using

d=(1/2)(a)(t^2)+(vi)t

1.8m=(1/2)(9.8)(t^2) vertical initial velocity is 0

t=.61 sec

Finally to find player Bs initial horizontal velocity you use the horizontal equation

v=d/t

v=.585m/.61 sec

so v=.959m/s

A 60 kg man jumps down from a 0.8 m table. What is the speed when he
Rom4ik [11]

Answer: Speed = 4 m/s

Explanation:

The parameters given are

Mass M = 60 kg

Height h = 0.8 m

Acceleration due to gravity g= 10 m/s2

Before the man jumps, he will be experiencing potential energy at the top of the table.

P.E = mgh

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

P.E = 60 × 9.8 × 0.8

P.E = 470.4 J

As he jumped from the table and hit the ground, the whole P.E will be converted to kinetic energy according to conservative of energy.

When hitting the ground,

K.E = P.E

Where K.E = 1/2mv^2

Substitute m and 470.4 into the formula

470.4 = 1/2 × 60 × V^2

V^2 = 470.4/30

V^2 = 15.68

V = square root (15.68)

V = 3.959 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the man when hitting the ground is approximately 4 m/s
