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

Does gravity affect your weight???
Degger [83]
Weight is a force caused by gravity. The weight of an object is the gravitational force between the object and the Earth. The more mass the object has the greater its weight will be.

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

 "The distance between crests is 3 cm." 

Explanation:

If he writes down "The distance between crests is 3 cm." 

That means he is describing the wavelength of a wave and not longitudinal wave. He ought to write something about " direction "

Longitudinal waves are waves in which the displacement of the medium is in the same direction as, or parallel to, the direction of propagation of the wave. While

Wavelength is the distance between the two successfully Crest or trough

If an object is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 128 ​ft/second, then its height after t seconds is given by the follow
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

The maximum height attained by the object and the number of seconds are 128 ft and 4 sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity u= 128 ft/sec

Equation of height

h = 128t-32t^2....(I)

(a). We need to calculate the maximum height

Firstly we need to calculate the time

\dfrac{dh}{dt}=0

From equation (I)

\dfrac{dh}{dt}=128-64t

128-64t=0

t=\dfrac{128}{64}

t=2\ sec

Now, for maximum height

Put the value of t in equation (I)

h =128\times2-32\times4

h=128\ ft

(b). The number of seconds it takes the object to hit the ground.

We know that, when the object reaches ground the height becomes zero

128t-32t^2=0

t(128-32t)=0

128=32t

t=4\ sec

Hence, The maximum height attained by the object and the number of seconds are 128 ft and 4 sec.

when an element tends to lose its valence electrons in chemical reactions , does it behave more like a metal or nonmetal
Juli2301 [7.4K]

It behaves more like a metal

Explanation:

When an element tends to lose its valence electrons in chemical reactions, they behave more like a metal.

Metals are electropositive.

Electropositivity or metallicity is the a measure of the tendency of atoms of an element to lose electrons.

This is closely related to ionization energy and the electronegativity of the element.

  • The lower the ionization energy of an element, the more electropositive or metallic the element is .

Metals are usually large size and prefers to be in reactions where they can easily lose their valence electrons.

When most metals lose their valence electrons, they attain stability.

Non-metals are electronegative. They prefer to gain electrons.
