A straight trail with a uniform inclination of 15 degrees leads from a lodge at an elevation of 600 feet to a mountain lake at a

n elevation of 6100 feet. What is the length of the trail (to the nearest foot)

Answer:

The length of the trail = 22796 ft

Explanation:

From the ΔABC

AC = length of the trail = x

AB = 6100 - 600 = 5500 ft

Angle of inclination \theta = 15°

\sin \theta = \frac{AB}{AC}

\sin 15 = \frac{5900}{x}

x = \frac{5900}{0.2588}

x = 22796 ft

Since x = AC = Length of the trail.

Therefore the length of the trail = 22796 ft

How do I solve such problem???
pashok25 [27]

As far as I'm concerned, this is a bogus question, or at least a severely corrupted one.

The three numbers given can NOT all be true on Earth.

-- It rolled off the table at 7.6 m/s .  By golly, there you are!  Its initial horizontal velocity is 7.6 m/s, and it has no vertical velocity until it leaves the table.

-- There are no horizontal forces that we're aware of acting on the object.  So it maintains the same horizontal velocity for the rest of the story.  It's 10.5m away from the table in (10.5 m) / (7.8 m/s) = 1.35 second .

-- Vertically, it's just an object dropped from 17.6m off the floor.  Shockingly, the distance it falls in time 'T' is (1/2 g) T².  In 1.35 second, that's 8.88 meters ! . . . only about halfway to the floor !

-- In order to fall 17.6 m to the floor, it would need 1.89 seconds.  In <u>that</u> length of time, however, it would travel (7.8 m/s) x (1.89 s) = 14.78 m away from the base of the table.

So you see, either . . .

-- the table is NOT 17.6m tall, or

-- the object does NOT roll off of the table at 7.8 m/s, or

-- it does NOT land 10.5 m away from the base of the table.

OR . . .

-- the table is not on Earth, and gravity is not 9.8 m/s² !

We often see questions posted on Brainly with not enough given information, OR with some information given that's not needed because it's not involved the answer.  

THIS one is different, and it's unusual.  In this one, we have<em> too much</em> given information, we can't ignore any of it because it's all related, but it's inconsistent and it CAN't all be true.

(Unless the whole story takes place on a mystery planet that is not Earth.  Which I'm not going to take the time and effort right now to figure out what the acceleration of gravity has to be in order to make all of the given information compatible.)

An electron with a speed of 0.95c is emitted by a supernova, where cc is the speed of light. What is the magnitude of the moment
krok68 [10]

Answer:

2.59×10¯²² Kgm/s

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Velocity of electron = 0.95c

Momentum =?

Next, we shall determine the velocity of the electron. This can be obtained as follow:

Velocity of electron = 0.95c

Velocity of Light (c) = 3×10⁸ m/s

Velocity of electron = 0.95c

Velocity of electron = 0.95 × 3×10⁸

Velocity of electron = 2.85×10⁸ m/s

Finally, we shall determine the mometum of the electron.

Momentum is simply defined as the product of mass and velocity. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Momentum = mass x Velocity

Thus, with the above formula, we calculate the momentum of the electron as follow:

Mass of electron = 9.1×10¯³¹ Kg

Velocity of electron = 2.85×10⁸ m/s

Momentum of electron =?

Momentum = mass x Velocity

Momentum = 9.1×10¯³¹ × 2.85×10⁸

Momentum = 2.59×10¯²² Kgm/s

Therefore, the momentum of the electron is 2.59×10¯²² Kgm/s

What is the maximum rated voltage for a 100 ohm 1/4 watt resistor?
Debora [2.8K]
This can be solve using the formula P = I^2 * Rwhere P is the powerI is the CurrentR is the resistanceP = I^2 * R
1/4 Watt = I^2 * 100 ohm solve for II^2 = 1/400  I = 0.05 amps then using the formula to solve for the voltage:V = I * RV = 0.05 amps * 100 ohms V = 5 volts

Why do areas with low altitude have warmer air than areas with high altitude
barxatty [35]

Answer:

Air at higher altitude is under less pressure than air at lower altitude because there is less weight of air above it, so it expands (and cools), while air at lower altitude is under more pressure so it contracts (and heats up).

Explanation:

Hope that helped
