A submarine is 2.84 102 m horizontally from shore and 1.00 102 m beneath the surface of the water. A laser beam is sent from the

submarine so that the beam strikes the surface of the water 2.34 102 m from the shore. A building stands on the shore, and the laser beam hits a target at the top of the building. The goal is to find the height of the target above sea level.

Answer:

468 m

Explanation:

So the building and the point where the laser hit the water surface make a right triangle. Let's call this triangle ABC where A is at the base of the building, B is at the top of the building, and C is where the laser hits the water surface. Similarly, the submarine, the projected submarine on the surface and the point where the laser hit the surface makes a another right triangle CDE. Let D be the submarine and E is the other point.

The length CE is length AE - length AC = 284 - 234 = 50 m

We can calculate the angle ECD:

tan(\hat{ECD}) = \frac{ED}{EC} = \frac{100}{50} = 2

\hat{ECD} = tan^{-1} 2 = 63.43^o

This is also the angle ACB, so we can find the length AB:

tan(\hat{ACB}) = \frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{AB}{234}

2 = \frac{AB}{234}

AB = 2*234 = 468 m

So the height of the building is 468m

A glass of water at 20°C or a glass of water at 80°C explain
KiRa [710]

Answer:

1. A glass of water at 80°C because the more heat it will recieve, the more temperature increases. Heat is a sort of energy so the more it is heated, the more energy the water will recieve. So in comparison to 20°C, 80°C has more energy in it because it has a higher temperature.

2. An aluminium can at 30°C because the more heat it will recieve, the more temperature increases. Heat is a sort of energy so the more it is heated, the more energy the aluminium will recieve. So in comparison to 20°C, 30°C has more energy in it because it has a higher temperature.

A rocket experiences a 45,000 N force as it accelerates at 30 m/s/s. What is the mass of the rocket?
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

15,00kg

Explanation:

here's your solution

=> force = 45,000N

=> acceleration = 30m/s^2

=> mass = ?

=> Mass = force/acceleration

=> mass = 45,000/30

=> mass = 15,00kg

hope it helps

Do you think that the universe has a starting point and ending point? explain.
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

I don't think the universe has a starting and ending point because the universe is vast and has not been fully discovered. I think that the universe is endless because all of the stars, planets, and galaxy's have yet to be found and the end or start of the universe is also yet to be discovered so I think that the universe could go on forever.
