The two hot-air balloons in the drawing are 48.2 and 61.0 m above the ground. A person in the left balloon observes that the rig

ht balloon is 13.3° above the horizontal. What is the horizontal distance x between the two balloons?

Answer:

x = 54.15 meters between the balloons horizontally.

Explanation:

Hence, vertical distance between balloons is 12.8 meters.

y= 61-48.2  = 12.2 m

A right-angle triangle is formed with,

angle θ = 13.3 degrees

opposite (y) = 12.8

adjacent (x) = ?

tan\theta = \dfrac{y}{x}

Now by putting the values in the above equation.

tan13^{\circ}=\dfrac{12.8}{x}

x=\dfrac{12.8}{tan13^{\circ}}

x = 54.15 meters between the balloons horizontally.

The primary of a step-up transformer is connected across the terminals of a standard wall socket, and resistor 1 with a resistan
alexira [117]
The turns ratio is the factor that determines voltage andcurrent. In order to have the same current across the resistorin the primary as the resistor in the secondary, then:--N(p) = Primary turnsN(s) = Secondary turnsR(2) = Primary resistorR(1) = Secondary resistor--R(2)/R(1) = N(p)/N(s)R(2) = R(1)*(N(p)/N(s))--If arbitrary values are plugged in, you will see that this step up transformer will require 2x the resistance required in the secondary, R(1), to obtain the same current. Thus R(2) will be 1/2 the value of R(1). This is due to the stepped up voltage in the secondary.

Malik formed a hypothesis that an increase in atmospheric oxygen levels by 10% would cause red-legged grasshoppers to grow large
worty [1.4K]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The option C is the correct answer.

Which is, "He varies the nitrogen and carbon dioxide levels in the air from one trial to the next".

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The hypothesis of Malik was about the effect of increased oxygen level on the growth of the red-legged grasshoppers.

So the areas of his experiment should be the:

  • Grasshopper type.
  • High oxygen level.
  • Rate of growth of grasshopper.

So all the given options are relevant to his experiment except the third one.

So varying the nitrogen and carbon dioxide level in air could not contribute in his experiment.

A 60kg student traveling in a 1000kg car with a constant velocity has a kinetic energy of 1.2 x 10^4 J. What is the speedometer
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

17.64 km/h

Explanation:

mass of car, m = 1000 kg

Kinetic energy of car, K = 1.2 x 10^4 J

Let the speed of car is v.

Use the formula for kinetic energy.

K = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

By substituting the values

1.2\times 10^{4} = \frac{1}{2}\times 1000\times v^{2}

v = 4.9 m/s

Now convert metre per second into km / h

We know that

1 km = 1000 m

1 h = 3600 second

So, v = \left (\frac{4.9}{1000}   \right )\times \left ( \frac{3600}{1} \right )

v = 17.64 km/h

Thus, the reading of speedometer is 17.64 km/h.
