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

An electric generator converts kinetic energy into --------<br> energy.
pickupchik [31]

The correct answer to the question is :  Electric energy

EXPLANATION :

As per the question, we have an electric generator.

Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand the function of generator.

The generator is attached to the turbine. When the turbine rotates, the generator also starts rotating with it. Thanks to electromagnetic induction, the electricity is produced in the coil attached to the generator when it rotates.

Hence, from above, it is obvious that kinetic energy is converted into electric energy.

Use Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation to calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force between a 200 kg refrigerator an
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

3.735×10⁻⁶ N

Explanation:

From newton' s law of universal gravitation,

F = Gmm'/r² .............................. Equation 1

Where F = Gravitational force between the person and the refrigerator, m = mass of the person, m' = mass of the refrigerator, r = distance between the person and the refrigerator. G = gravitational universal constant.

Given: m = 70 kg, m' = 200 kg, r = 0.5 m

Constant: G = 6.67×10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg².

F = (6.67×10⁻¹¹×70×200)/0.5²

F = 93380×10⁻¹¹/0.25

F = 373520×10⁻¹¹

F = 3.735×10⁻⁶ N

Hence the force between the person and the refrigerator =  3.735×10⁻⁶ N
