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:

A factor of 2*4 = 8

Explanation:

F_g = (G*m1*m2)/r^2  

where m1 and m2 are the two masses, G is Newton's gravitational constant, and r is the distance between the center of mass of the two objects.

So, if you double m1 and quadruple m2:

m1' = 2*m1

m2' = 4*m2

Then F_g' = (G*m1'*m2')/r^2 = (G*2*m1*4*m2)/r^2 = 8*(G*m1*m2)/r^2 = 8*F_g

Given a wire with a cross section of .45cm^2, a length of 3cm, and an internal resistance of 3 ohms, show your 5 steps to solve
Gre4nikov [31]
Resistance ∞ (proportional) length 
resistance ∞ 1/ area

therefore, 
(the constant that we take is known as the resistivity)

resistance =  (resistivity*length )/ area
 resistivity = (resistance * area ) / length
                  = (3 * 45) / 3 =    135/3 = 45 Ωm

in short your answer is 45 Ωm

uysha [10]

Answer:

15m/s

Explanation:

velocity = displacement/time

= (200+100)/20 = 300/20 = 15m/s
