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.

Explain why pumice floats and why ironwood sinks
almond37 [142]

Answer:

A quick way of describing density is to describe an object as heavy or light for its size. Pumice stone, unlike regular rock, does not sink in water because it has a low density. An ironwood branch is very dense and sinks in water.

Hope that helps. x

Fudgin [204]

The constant is the temperature of the air that the plants get.

The independent variable is the thing that YOU control.  That's the amount of sunlight each plant gets.

The <em>dependent variable</em> is anything that's caused by changes in the independent variable.  That's the growth of the plants.

Maru [420]

Answer: <u>Flammability</u> is a chemical property only.

Odor, density, melting point, boiling point, and solubility are all physical properties.

Formation of a gas, temperature change, and color change can all indicate a chemical change or a physical change has occurred, depending on if the substance's composition is changed in the process.

Burka [1]
The structure and curvature of the Earth results in beams of sunlight glancing off the equator and reaching other areas of the Earth. This means that the areas at the equator receive more energy as sun's rays hit them directly.
Therefore, the answer is C.
