A surveyor measures the distance across a straight river by the following method: Starting directly across from a tree on the op

posite bank, he walks 118 m along the riverbank to establish a baseline. Then he sights across to the tree. The angle from his baseline to the tree is 36.0°. How wide is the river?

Answer:

W = 85.73 m

Explanation:

given,

surveyor walks = 118 m

makes an angle of = 36.0° with the tree

to find the width of the river

tan \theta = \dfrac{W}{distance}

tan 36^0 = \dfrac{W}{118}

tan 36^0 = \dfrac{W}{118}

W = 118 \times 0.7265

W = 85.73 m

hence, the width of the river is equal to W = 85.73 m

A child goes down the slide,starting from rest. If the length of the slide is 2m and it takes the child 3 seconds to go down the
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

0.44 m/s^2

Explanation:

We have the following data:

- distance covered by the child: d = 2 m (length of the slide)

- time taken to cover this distance: t = 3 s

- initial velocity of the child: 0 m/s (he starts from rest)

So we can find the acceleration by using the equation:

d=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

Where a is the acceleration.

Substituting the values and solving for a,

a=\frac{2d}{t^2}=\frac{2(2)}{3^2}=0.44 m/s^2
