Answer:

7km

Explanation:

The angle of depression is congruent to the angle of elevation and can be explained as angle below horizontal in which the person observing an object must view for him/her to view object's that are lower than him/her.

In angle of depression, there is assumption that object is closer to the person observing it, so there is parallel horizontal for both observing and object been observed.

hot air balloon 2 km​ high,

there exist two triangles

From trigonometry

Tanx= opposite/adjacent

Opp= 2km

Adj= X1

first triangle have base length of

Tan(16)=2/X1

X1=2/ tan(16)

X1=6.97

For Second triangle

Tanx= opposite/adjacent

Opp= 2km

Adj= X2

the other with a base length of

X2=2/tan(84)

X2=0.21

Therefore,, the total distance between the two towns is

x1+x2=6.97+0.21=7.18km

The strength of the friction doesn't matter. Neither does the distance or the time the asteroid takes to stop. All that matters is that the asteroid has

1/2 (mass) (speed squared)

of kinetic energy when it lands, and zero when it stops.
So

1/2 (mass) (original speed squared)

is the energy it loses to friction in order to come to rest.

If resistor A, B and C are arranged in series, same current will flow in all the resistors and 2A will flow is resistor C.

<h3>What is series circuit?</h3>

This is the type of circuit arrangement in which the resistors are arranged in series order.

In this type of circuit arrangement, same current flows in every component of the circuit.

Thus, if resistor A, B and C are arranged in series, same current will flow in all the resistors and 2A will flow is resistor C.
