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

In Newton's third law, the action and reaction forces D.)act on different objects

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that:

<em>"When an object A exerts a force on object B (action force), then action B exerts an equal and  opposite force (reaction force) on object A"</em>

It is important to note from the statement above that the action force and the reaction force always act on different objects. Let's take an example: a man pushing a box. We have:

  • Action force: the force applied by the man on the box, forward
  • Reaction force: the force applied by the box on the man, backward

As we can see from this example, the action force is applied on the box, while the reaction force is applied on the man: this means that the two forces do not act on the same object. This implies that whenever we draw the free-body diagram of the forces acting on an object, the action and reaction forces never appear in the same diagram, since they act on different objects.

Two identical charges, 2 m apart, exert forces of magnitude 4 N on each other. The value of each charge is: 1. 9 × 105 C 2. 4.2
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

The value of each charge is 4.22 x 10⁻⁵ C

Explanation:

Given;

distance between the two identical charges, d = 2 m

the force of repulsion between these two charges, F = 4N

Apply Coulomb's law;

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2} \\\\but \ q_1 =q_2,then \ let \ q_1 =q_2 = q\\\\F = \frac{kq^2}{r^2}\\\\q^2 = \frac{Fr^2}{k}\\\\q^2 = \frac{4*2^2}{9*10^9} \\\\q ^2 = 1.7778*10^{-9}\\\\q = \sqrt{1.7778*10^{-9}}\\\\q =4.22 *10^{-5} C\\\\q= q_1=q_2= 4.22 *10^{-5} C

Therefore, the value of each charge is 4.22 x 10⁻⁵ C

Please can some one explaine fore me What is work done
olga nikolaevna [1]
In Physics, 'work' has a very clear definition:

It's (strength of a force) times (distance through which the force acts).

'Work' has the units of Energy.

If you push against a shopping cart with 30 newtons of force, and
you keep pushing while the cart moves 4 meters, then you have
done (30 x 4) = 120 newton-meters of work = 120 "Joules".

Distinguish between nonsampling error and sampling error. Choose the correct answer below.
kiruha [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Non-sampling error is the error that results from​ under-coverage, non-response​ bias, response​ bias, or​ data-entry errors. Sampling error is the error that results because a sample is being used to estimate information about a population.

Explanation:

Sampling error is related to the variation between the true values of the sample and the population. If occurred, it is always random depending upon the sample chosen.

Non-sampling error can be random as well as non-random. Non-sampling error can occur irrespective of the sample chosen. It is related to the inappropriate analysis of the data.
