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

Why don't you feel the pressure exerted by the atmosphere?
mariarad [96]

Answer:

the air within our bodies (in our lungs and stomachs, for example) is exerting the same pressure outwards so there's no pressure difference and no need for us to exert any effort.

What does a constant velocity look like on a displacement vs time graph?
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

A line with slope equal to the velocity.

Explanation:

If one is in the presence of constant velocity, that means that at the quotient between displacement and time elapsed is a constant value, therefore one can write the following equation:

\frac{displacement}{time} =constant

therefore, solving for displacement we get:

displacement= constant \,*\, time

which if plotted with displacement (D) on the vertical axis  and time (t) on the horizontal axis, renders a line with slope equal to the constant value of the velocity (v):

D=v\,*\,t
