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.

A simple machine makes our work easier and faster. why?​
kirill [66]

Answer:

simple machines such as ramps lessen the moment required to do work. if a triangle has a base of 5 and the height  is 7, a ramp would make the hypotenuse of this triangle lessoning the total distance. using a²+b²=c² 25+49=c² 74≈8.6 and it is obvious that 8.6 is less than 12 in every unit. other simple machines such as pulleys make it lighter making it simply easier for an object to be lifted.

A ball is dropped from rest at point O. After falling for some time, it passes by a window of height 3.3 m and it does so in 0.2
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Speed at which the ball passes the window’s top = 10.89 m/s

Explanation:

Height of window = 3.3 m

Time took to cover window = 0.27 s

Initial velocity, u = 0m/s

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

For the top of window (position A)

                     s_A=0\times t_A+0.5\times 9.81t_A^2\\\\s_A=4.905t_A^2

For the bottom of window (position B)

                     s_B=0\times t_B+0.5\times 9.81t_B^2\\\\s_A=4.905t_B^2

\texttt{Height of window=}s_B-s_A=3.3\\\\4.905t_B^2-4.905t_A^2=3.3\\\\t_B^2-t_A^2=0.673

We also have

                 t_B-t_A=0.27

Solving

         t_B=0.27+t_A\\\\(0.27+t_A)^2-t_A^2=0.673\\\\t_A^2+0.54t_A+0.0729-t_A^2=0.673\\\\t_A=1.11s\\\\t_B=0.27+1.11=1.38s

So after 1.11 seconds ball reaches at top of window,

       We have equation of motion v = u + at

                                     v_A=0+9.81\times 1.11=10.89m/s

Speed at which the ball passes the window’s top = 10.89 m/s

What forces shape the stars in galaxies? (Astronomy question, but didn't fit into any categories) PLEASE 
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Force of gravity

Explanation:

when the force of gravity pulls large gas clouds and dust together, the concentrated gas clouds and dust collapse under the force of gravity forming stars.

There are many galaxies out there in the universe, each galaxy has its own solar systems, stars, and collection of gas and dust. We (earth) belong to the Milky Way galaxy, our galaxy got this name from the Romans. They called in 'via lactea', which directly translates to 'road of milk' because of the milky patch they saw at night.
