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

Which scenario will drain the battery in the circuit diagram fastest: three 20 W bulbs in positions one, two, and three or 80 W
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

If you connect the three bulbs 20 W each will have a total power of 60W.

Now we need to understand to assign the meaning of the word gap, that is, if the circuit is open at that point or if there is no bulb connected at that point.

If the circuit is open at Point 2, there will be no current in the circuit, so the battery will drain faster with the three bulbs 20W.

In the second event, where gap means that there are no bulbs connected at that point, it means that you have two bulbs connected in series of 80W each.

In this case the bulbs will consume 160W thus drain the battery faster than the three 20W bulbs connected in series.

Could you explain to me how the soccer collects kinetic energy when its kicked?
aniked [119]
FOR THAT YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT ACTUALLY KINETIC ENERGY IS.
It is a form of energy which is caused due to motion, when the ball is kicked, it is send into motion thus it gains kinetic energy, how come energy came from ? as you have already read this ENERGY MASS CANT BE CREATED OR DESTROYED. In this scenario the energy is being transferred by the football player into the ball which appears as the kinetic energy of the ball... that's how it works
