Because of the curvature of the earth, the maximum distance D that you can see from the top of a tall building of height h is es

timated by the formula D = 2rh + h2 where r = 3960 mi is the radius of the earth and D and h are also measured in miles. How far can you see from the observation deck of a tall building, 1100 ft above the ground? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

Answer:

 D = 9.9 10⁶ mi

Explanation:

In the exercise they give the expression for maximum viewing distance

       D = 2 r h + h²

Ask for this distance for a height of 1100 feet

Let's calculate

        D = 2 3960 1100 + 1100²

        D = 8.712 10⁶ + 1.21 10⁶

        D = 9.92 10⁶ mi

         D = 9.9 10⁶ mi

Answer:

Answer:

101325 + 10055.25h

//

h = 10.1 m

Explanation:

the pressure at sea level =  1 atm = 101325 Pa

density of sea water = 1025 kg/ m^(3)

pressure due to fluid height = pgh

Absolute pressure = 101325 + 1025*9.81*h

                               = 101325 + 10055.25h

where h= 0 at sea level at increases downwards

//

101325 = 1025* 9.81* h

h = 10.1 m

Someone help me with letter d. and e. I’m supposed to solve for y.
Bumek [7]

Answer:

t=\frac{a}{\sqrt{1-\frac{y^2}{c^2}}}\\\frac{y^2}{c^2}=1-\frac{a^2}{t^2}\\y^2=\frac{c^2t^2-c^2a^2}{t^2}\\y=\frac{c}{t}\sqrt{t^2-a^2}

t=\frac{a}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{y^2}}}\\\frac{v^2}{y^2}=1-\frac{a^2}{t^2}\\\\\frac{v^2}{y^2}=\frac{t^2-a^2}{t^2}\\y^2=\frac{v^2t^2}{t^2-a^2}\\y=\frac{vt}{\sqrt{t^2-a^2}}
