Draw a right triangle so that its hypotenuse is 600 ft. The adjacent side is below the vertical, and it makes an angle of 75° with the hypotenuse.

Let h =  height of the right triangle.
By definition,
sin75° = h/600
h = 600*sin75° = 579.555 = 580 ft (nearest ft)

Answer: 580 ft (nearest foot)

Answer:

Height, h = 580 ft

Explanation:

It is given that,

The distance traveled by the plane, d = 600 feet

The airplane takes off at an angle of 75° from its starting point.

Let h is the vertical height above the runway. It is the trigonometric problem. Let h is the height of the vertical height above the runway. It can be calculated using the trigonometric formula as :

sin\theta=\dfrac{h}{d}

sin(75)=\dfrac{h}{600}

h = 579.55 feet

or

h = 580 ft

So, the vertical height above the runway is 580 feet. Hence, this is the required solution.

A car was moving a 14 m/s. After 30 seconds, it’s speed increased to 20 m/s. What was its acceleration during this time?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

acceleration = 0.2 m/s/s

Explanation:

initial velocity u = 14

final velocity v = 20

time = 30

acceleration = ?

v = u + at

20 = 14 + 30a

30a = 6

a = 0.2 m/s/s

A rocket is moving at 1/4 the speed of light relative to Earth. At the center of this rocket a light suddenly flashes. To an obs
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

B. the light will reach the front of the rocket at the same instant that it reaches the back of the rocket.

Explanation:

To an observer at rest in the rocket who can't see either sides of the rocket, the speed of the light is constant which means the distance to the front or the back is same and would appear to reach the rocket at the same time.

Although from the point of view of the person on the earth, the front of the rocket is travelling in opposite direction of the light while the back of the rocket is moving closer to the light. This means that the distance travelled by the light going forward will be longer going backwards. And since the speed of light is constant in both directions, the light will reach the back of the rocket before it reaches the front  for the observer on the earth.
