you are hiking along a river and see a tall tree on thhe opposite bank. You measure the angle of elevation of the top of the tre

e and find it to be 61 degree. You then walk 50 feet directly away from the tree and measure the angle of elevation. If the second measurement is 49.5 degree, how tall is the tree?

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the height of the tree is y and the distance of tree from point B is x.

According to the diagram

tan61 = \frac{y}{x}

x = 0.55 y ..... (1)

tan49.5 = \frac{y}{50+x}

(50 + 0.55y) 1.17 = y ..... from equation (1)

58.5 + 0.644 y = y

0.356 y = 58.5

y = 164.3 ft

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

a = \dfrac{4\pi^2R}{T^2}

Explanation:

The acceleration of a circular motion is given by

a = \omega^2 R

where \omega is the angular velocity and R is the radius.

Angular velocity is related to the period, T, by

\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{T}

Substitute into the previous formula.

a = (\dfrac{2\pi}{T})^2 R

a = \dfrac{4\pi^2R}{T^2}

This acceleration does not depend on the linear or angular displacement. Hence, the amount of rotation does not change it.

Bumper car A (281 kg) moving +2.82 m/s makes an elastic collision with bumper car B (209 kg) moving -1.72 m/s. What is the veloc
Nuetrik [128]

The velocity of B after elastic collision is 3.45m/s

This type of collision is an elastic collision and we can use a formula to solve this problem.

<h3>Elastic Collision</h3>

v_2 = \frac{2m_1u_1}{m_1+m_2} - \frac{m_1 - m_2}{m_1 + m_2}u_2

The data given are;

  • m1 = 281kg
  • u1 = 2.82m/s
  • m2 = 209kg
  • u2 = -1.72m/s
  • v1 = ?

Let's substitute the values into the equation.

v_1 = \frac{2*281*2.82}{281+209} -\frac{281-209}{281+209}(-1.72)\\v_1 = 3.45m/s

From the calculation above, the final velocity of the car B after elastic collision is 3.45m/s.
