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

Sophie [7]

Answer:

442.36038 m or 1451.31362 ft

Explanation:

P_1 = Initial pressure = 30.15 inHg

P_2 = Final pressure = 28.607 inHg

\rho = Density of air  = 0.075 lb/ft³

1\ lb/ft^3=16.0185\ kg/m^3

1\ in=0.0254\ m

1\ m=3.28084\ ft

Density of mercury = 13560 kg/m³

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Difference in pressure is given by

P_1-P_2=\rho gh\\\Rightarrow h=\frac{P_1-P_2}{\rho g}\\\Rightarrow h=\frac{(30.15-28.607)\times 13560\times 0.0254\times 9.81}{0.075\times 16.0185\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow h=442.36038\ m\\\Rightarrow h=442.36038\times 3.28084\\\Rightarrow h=1451.31362\ ft

The height of the building is 442.36038 m or 1451.31362 ft

My mass is 65 kg and on Earth this equals a weight of 640 N, but on the moon where gravity is 1.7 m/s² my
Helen [10]

Your weight on the moon given the data from the question is 110.5 N

<h3>Definition of mass and weight </h3>

Mass is simply defined as the quantity of matter present in an object. The mass of an object is constant irrespective of the location of the object.

Weight is simply defined as the gravitational pull on an object. The weight of an object varies from place to place due to gravity.

<h3>Relationship between mass and weight </h3>

Mass and weight are related according to the following equation

Weight (W) = mass (m) × Acceleration due to gravity (g)

<h3>How to determine the weight on the moon</h3>
  • Mass (m) = 65 Kg
  • Acceleration due to gravity on the moon (g) = 1.7 m/s²
  • Weight (W) =?

W = mg

W = 65 × 1.7

W = 110.5 N

Testing shows that a sample of wood from an artifact contains 25% of the
daser333 [38]

Answer:

The artifact is 11,460 years old.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Given that,

The half life of the carbon-14 is 5730  years and we are left with 255 of the sample of wood from an arti-fact.

So it takes 5730 years for the sample to reduce into half

Initially there will be 100% of the sample so

after first 5730 years, the sample reduces into 50% percent

Now the left 50% sample will take another 5730 years to decay into half of its amount.

after next 5730 years  the sample reduces into 25% percent

So totally after 2 half-life the sample reduces into 25%

That is (5730 +5730) years = 11460 years
