To measure the height of the cloud cover at an airport, a worker shines a spotlight upward at an angle 75° from the horizontal.

An observer D = 510 m away measures the angle of elevation to the spot of light to be 45°. Find the height h of the cloud cover. (Round your answer to the nearest meter.)

Answer: The height of the cloud = 394.55 m

Explanation:

The observer is 500m away from the spotlight.

Let x be the distance from the observer to the interception of the segment of the height, h with the floor. The equations are thus:

Tan 45° = h/x ... eq1

Tan 75° = h/(500- x ) ... eq2

From eq 1, Tan 45° = 1, therefore eq1 becomes:

h = x ... eq3

Put eq3 into eq2

Tan 75° = h/(500- h)

h = ( 500 - h ) Tan 75°

h = 500Tan 75° - hTan75°

h + h Tan 75° = 500 Tan 75°

h ( 1 + Tan 75° ) = 500 Tan75°

h = 500Tan75°/ (1 + Tan 75°)

h= 1866.02 / 4.73

h = 394.55m

damaskus [11]

Answer:

Same, the electric fields point in opposite directions and therefore cancel at some midpoint.

Explanation:

The Electric field net at some point between them is zero, only if they point in opposite direction (they cancel to the each other). In order the electric fields  have opposite direction, at some point between the bees , the bees must have the same sign of electric charge

zysi [14]
The ability of solid rock to flow is called Plasticity.

Plasticity is the deformation of a solid mateial which resulted in non reversible changes of shape in response to applied force.

Another example of plasticity is when you bend metal through a forcer force to create an art or kitchen set
