Answer:

H=174.168ft

Explanation:

See diagram below.

First, calculate y using sine function:

sin(22)=\frac{y'}{215} \\y'=215sin(22)=80.540ft

Then, calculate x using cosine function:

cos(22)=\frac{x}{215} \\x=215cos(22)=199.345ft

Now use tangent to calculate y:

tan(52)=\frac{y+y'}{x} \\y=x*tan(52)-y'\\y = 174.168ft.

Answer:

decline

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that these types of firms are in the decline stage of the product life cycle. This stage refers to when a product has already passed it's peak potential and sales begin to decline until production is ultimately halted and the product dies off. Which is exactly what is happening to the LP's since everyone has moved on to digital downloads.

In complete sentences describe the energy flow between the Sun, the Earth, and space
agasfer [191]
Answer: The energy from the sun passes through space in the form of invisible waves to the earth surface. It heats up the earth’s surface causing variation in climate.
Explanation:
The amount of incoming energy from the Sun decides the weather and climate of earth. If the energy that is incoming and outgoing on the earth, then climate is in equilibrium. The balance is depending on the scattering, absorption, reflection and transformation of energy.
The energy from sun passes through space and reaches the earth’s surface. On reaching surface, the solar energy warms the atmosphere releasing heat energy which gets transferred throughout the planets system by radiation, conduction and convection. Conduction happens in the atmosphere within first several millimeters close to the surface. This heated air expands as it is dense and rises causing transfer of heat to atmosphere through convection process. It results in formation of clouds.
The radiant energy from sun is transmitted via space in form of invisible waves. But much of the suns radiant energy, is transmitted back to atmosphere. The objects on earth like land, plants, animals absorb radiant energy as heat of which one third gets re-radiated back to atmosphere that is absorbed by carbon dioxide and water vapor. The atmosphere radiates heat energy back to earth increasing the earth temperature. This trapping of radiation is greenhouse effect.
The thermal energy obtained by convection currents are responsible for wind, cloud formation, and weather formation. The hydrosphere that comprises of 70% of earth’s surface absorbs solar energy.
On the basis of the above explanation is:
The energy from the sun passes through space in the form of invisible waves to the earth surface. It heats up the earth’s surface causing variation in climate.

A long point-object, mass = 1.0 kg, moves in a circular path at a radial distance = 0.5 m from the axis of rotation. What is the
Vinvika [58]

Answer:0.25\ kg-m^2

Explanation:

Given

mass of Point object m=1 kg

Distance r=0.5 m

Since mass is moving in circular path therefore every time mass is at distance of r from center .

Also Moment of Inertia tells about  the distribution of mass over the given region with respect to center of mass.

Therefore I=mr^2

I=1\times 0.5^2

I=0.25\ kg-m^2
