distance = 3280 feet. This is the triangle's hypotenuse.

The distance from the ground is the opposite side as it is opposite the angle 42˚


Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

Sin(42) = Opposite/3280   Answer: 2195 feet

Cross multiply

Opposite = sin(42) x 3280

Opposite = 2194.7 feet

This situation represents triangle with one angle of 90 degrees. That angle is directly below glider. That means that we can you basic trigonometry functions.

sin42 = h/3280

Now we express h.
h = 3280* sin42 
h = 2195 feet

The answer is 2195 feet.

Could someone answer this?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Here the circuit in which a 4Ω resistor resistor is connected in series and two 8Ω resistor resistors are connected in parallel. Also, ammeter and voltmeter connected in series and parallel circuit respectively.

Now,

The maximum power of each resistance is 16 W

The 4Ω resistor is linked in series with the circuit.

so, P o w e r = I

two

R, here i is the current through the resistor resistor R

1 6 = I

two

∗ 4 Ω

i = 2A

Now 2A passes through parallel resistors of 8Ω resistance.

we know that, in parallel, the potential difference must be constant,

the current is divided into two parts, because the same resistance current in each resistance will be half. then the current through each resistor in parallel is

2 A

two

.

= 1 A

So finally the current through the 4Ω resistor = 2 A

current through each 8Ω resistor = 1 A

Explanation:

I hope this answer has helped you

What is the relation between force and acceleration ?​
stepladder [879]

Explanation:

Newton's second law shows that there is a direct relation ship between force and acceleration . the grater force that is applied on a object of given mass the more the accelerate. for example doubling the force in the object doubles it's acceleration.

Identify how scientists use radioactive isotopes by selecting the best answers from the drop-down menus. Archaeologists use radi
salantis [7]

Answer:

Archaeologist use radioactive isotopes to determine the ages of various objects, rocks and materials. This is called radioactive dating. Radioactive isotope Carbon-14 is widely used for this dating process.

Scientists use radioactive isotopes in agriculture to monitor or study the uptake and use of essential nutrients by plants from the soil. This helps to determine viability, productivity and nutritious ability of the plants on a piece of land.

Geologists use radioactive isotopes to trace leaks in underground water storage, pipes. Radioactive isotopes are effective tracers because their radioactivity can be easily detected.
