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

Hey guys can you help me solve this problem "how long will it take a car travelling 30m/s to come to stop ifs its acceleration i
salantis [7]

Answer:

10 seconds.

Explanation:

We can use a kinematic equation where we know the final velocity, initial velocity, acceleration, and need to determine the time <em>t: </em>

<em />\displaystyle v_f = v_i + at<em />

<em />

The initial velocit is 30 m/s, the final velocity is 0 m/s (as we stopped), and the acceleration is -3 m/s².

Substitute and solve for <em>t: </em>

<em />\displaystyle \begin{aligned} (0\text{ m/s}) & = (30 \text{ m/s}) + (-3 \text{ m/s$^2$}) t \\ \\  t & = \frac{-30\text{ m/s}}{-3 \text{ m/s$^2$}} \\ \\ & = 10 \text{ s} \end{aligned}<em />

<em />

Hence, it will take the car 10 seconds to come to a stop.
