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

Starting from rest, a 6.79 kg block slides 2.82 m down a rough 20.7 ◦ incline. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the b
Veronika [31]

Answer:

23.52092 J

Explanation:

m = Mass of block = 6.79 kg

s = Sliding distance = 2.82 m

\theta = Angle of slide = 20.7°

\mu = Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.425

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Work done by the force of gravity is given by

W=mgsin\theta\\\Rightarrow W=6.79\times 9.8\times sin20.7\\\Rightarrow W=23.52092\ J

The work done by the force of gravity is 23.52092 J

A cylinder of mass 250 kg and radius 2.60 m is rotating at 4.00 rad/s on a frictionless.
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

The angular momentum of a cylinder, when it is rotating with constant angular velocity is Lini =Iωi

. When two cylinders are added to the rotating cylinder, which are identical in their dimensions, the moment of inertia of the entire system increases (since mass increases). The final moment of inertia will be 3I

Since friction exist, all the cylinders start rotating with same angular velocity, the new angular velocity can be calculated using conservation of angular momentum

Thus, Iωi =3Iωf ⟹ωf =ωi/3 = 0.33ωi

When there is no air resistance, objects of different masses (1 points)
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Fall at equal acceleration with similar displacements.

Explanation:

  • Objects under free fall with no air resistance, are falling under the sole influence of gravity. So, under that conditions, objects with different masses  will fall with the same rate of acceleration

How do you think speed affects car and driver safety?
blondinia [14]
An increase in average speed of 1 km/h typi- cally results in a 3% higher risk of a crash involving injury, with a 4–5% increase for crashes that result in fatalities. — Speed also contributes to the severity of the impact when a collision does occur. Hope this helps!
