Answer:

429 m

Explanation:

In this exercise you are suppose to simulate a right triangle, the catheti are the distance you walked and the height of the empire state building.

tan(88) = (height) /(distance you walked)

28.64 = height / 15

height = 429 m

Describe the general relationship between the weight of adult men and the average number of Calories needed daily to maintain a
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

The average number of calories needed daily represents the average quantity of calories eliminated by human body due to metabolism and must be compensated by eating and drinking.

The amount of calories contained in the food we eat every day must represent the amount of calories eliminated by the body in that time to have a steady weight.

Explanation:

The average number of calories needed daily represents the average quantity of calories eliminated by human body due to metabolism and must be compensated by eating and drinking. If total quantity of calories in the food we consume every day is higher that the average number of calories needed daily, then weight increases by fat accumulation.

What happens to the particles in water as the water is heated and turns to vapor? (2 points)
Naddik [55]

Answer:

The particles will more likely to move faster since they are converted from a liquid to gas.

Rules for States of Matter:

1. Solid particles always are packed close together and don't have much space to move.

2. Liquid particles have space to move around but are still packed together, but not as close as solid.

3. Gas particles are moving freely, in fact they are in the air! Gas particles are free to move wherever. For example, the air has gas particles that are constantly bumping into each other.

Let me know if I am right =)

What relationship exists between the amplitude of a wave and amount of disturbance in the water?
guapka [62]
A wave is a result of the disturbance in the equilibrium state.  There are two types of wave, transverse and longitudinal. Transverse wave affects amplitude while longitudinal wave affects the frequency of the wave. As for the transverse wave, the magnitude of the perpendicular disturbance of the wave is directly proportional to the amplitude of the wave. The higher the transverse disturbance the higher the amplitude.

olga2289 [7]
The correct answer is C) frequency.
In fact, the frequency is the number of wave crests (or pulses) per seconds. In our problem, the machine that produces the wave pulses two times per second, so this is exactly the frequency of the compression wave.
