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

In the table below,which statement would best fill the missing box under isolated systems?
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

b-energy is not exchanged

Explanation:

An isolated system is a thermodynamic system in which neither energy nor matter is exchanged with the surroundings.

As such the best statement that will fill the box under an isolated system is that energy is not exchanged.

  • In an open system, both matter and energy are exchanged with the surrounding.
  • A closed system is one in which energy transfer is permissible but matter is not exchanged.
  • Energy cannot be created nor destroyed in any system. They are simply transformed.
