the plane was 4 miles from laguardia airport and was ascending at an angle of 7.7 degrees. Calculate the planes height above gro
und level at the time of the bird strike
1 answer:
The picture in the attached figure
Let
h-------> <span>the planes height above ground level at the time of the bird strike
</span>
we know that
sin 7.7°=opposite side angle 7.7°/hypotenuse
where
opposite side angle 7.7°=h
hypotenuse=4 miles
so
sin 7.7°=h/4-------> h=4*sin 7.7°-----> h=0.54 miles
1 mile-----------> 5280 ft
0.54 mile------> x
x=0.54*5280-----> x=2829.79 ft------> 2830 ft
the answer is
2830 ft

Answer:
8978 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation to find the half-life is:
N(t) = amount after the time <em>t</em>
= initial amount of substance
t = time
It is known that after a half-life there will be twice less of a substance than what it intially was. So, we can get a simplified equation that looks like this, in terms of half-lives.
or more simply
= time of the half-life
We know that = 35,912, t = 14,680, and
=7,340
Plug these into the equation:
Using a calculator we get:
N(t) = 8978
Therefore, after 14,680 years 8,978 grams of thorium will be left.
