Answer:

The boats are  934.65 feet apart

Explanation:

Given:

The angles of depression to the two boats are 42 degrees and 29 degrees

Height of the observation deck i =  1,353 feet

To Find:

How far apart are the boats (y )= ?

Solution:

<em><u>Step 1 : Finding the value of x(Refer the figure attached)</u></em>

We can use the tangent ratio to find the x value

tan(42^{\circ}) = \frac{1353}{x}

x = \frac{1353}{tan(42^{\circ}) }

x = 590.47 feet

<em><u>Step 2 : Finding the value of  z (Refer the figure attached)</u></em>

tan(29^{\circ}) = \frac{1353}{z }

z  = \frac{1353}{tan(29^{\circ})}

z = 1525.12  feet

<em><u>Step 3 : Finding the value of  y (Refer the figure attached</u></em>)

y =  z -x

y = 1525.12 - 590.47

y = 934.65 feet

Thus the two boats are 934.65 feet apart

I drop an egg from a certain distance and it takes the egg 3.74 seconds to reach the ground. How high up was the egg?
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

<em>B. 68.6m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Free Fall Motion </u>

When a body is left to move in the air with no friction, the motion is ruled only by the force of gravity. The vertical distance a body travels in the air after a time t is .

\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}

We know the egg takes 3.74 seconds to reach the ground. The height it was launched from is

\displaystyle y=\frac{(9.8)(3.474)^2}{2}

\displaystyle y=68.54\ m

The closest correct option is

B. 68.6m

Looking straight downward into a rain puddle whose surface is covered with a thin film of gasoline, you notice a swirling patter
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

 

Explanation:

Point beneath you forms a beautiful iridescent green

refractive index of Gasoline n=1.38

Wavelength of Green light is \lambda =540\ nm

Here light first traverse from air(n=1) to gasoline , it reflects from  front surface of gasoline(n=1.38) so it suffers a phase change. After this light reflect from rear surface of gasoline and there is a decrease in refractive index(n=1.38 to n=1.33), so there is no phase change occurs .

For constructive interference

2t=(m+\frac{1}{2})\cdot \frac{\lambda }{n}

here t= thickness of gasoline film

n=refractive index

for m=0

t=\frac{\lambda }{4n}

t=\frac{540}{4\times 1.38}

t=97.82\approx 98\ nm
