Answer:

The height of the pyramid is approximately 104 Ft. See the graphic attached.

Explanation:

First, you have to plot to realize that you have two rectangle triangles, formed by the different elevation points of view. From there you can have a system of two equations, with two unknown values.

Equation (1)

tan 37^{o}50'= \frac{Ph}{x} \\\\Ph=tan 37^{o}50'  x= 0.7766 x

Equation (2)

tan 18^{o}10'=\frac{Ph}{x+183} \\\\Ph=[tan 18^{o}10'][x+183]=[0.3281][x+183]

Matching (1) and (2)

0.7766 x=0.3281(x+183)\\\\(0.7766-0.3281)x=60.05\\\\x=\frac{60.05}{0.4485} =133.89ft

replacing x value in (1)

Ph=0.7766*133.89=103.9789\\Ph = 104 ft

liq [111]

Answer:

2365.71\ \text{J/kg}^{\circ}\text{C}

Explanation:

V = Voltage = 230 V

I = Current = 1.8 A

\Delta T = Temperature change = (40-12)^{\circ}\text{C}

t = Time taken = 2 minutes

m = Mass of liquid = 750 g

c = Specific heat capacity of the liquid

Energy required to heat the water is equal to the heat released due to current passing

mc\Delta T=VIt\\\Rightarrow c=\dfrac{VIt}{m\Delta T}\\\Rightarrow c=\dfrac{230\times 1.8\times 2\times 60}{0.75\times (40-12)}\\\Rightarrow c=2365.71\ \text{J/kg}^{\circ}\text{C}

The specific heat capacity of the liquid is 2365.71\ \text{J/kg}^{\circ}\text{C}

>En cual de las siguientes situaciones la fuerza neta sobre el cuerpo es cero?
ExtremeBDS [4]
La respuesta es "Un avion que vuela al norte con rapidez constante y altitud constante".

Para que la fuerza neta sea 0, la aceleracion debe ser 0, para esto la velocidad debe ser constante.  

Para que la velocidad sea constante el objecto debe estar moviendo con rapidez (magnitud de la velocidad) constante y sin cambiar direccion; ya que la velocidad es un vector asi es que depende en magnitud y direccion.

En las demas opciones la magnitud de la velocidad (rapidez) cambia y/o la direccion.

El limon es conductor de electricidad?
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Lo que sucede es que el electrolito (el jugo del cítrico) combinado con el zinc y el cobre, hace de batería, la cual a su vez completa un circuito eléctrico. Los cítricos, como las naranjas y los limones, son excelentes conductores de electricidad. ... También la patata es un buen conductor eléctrico.
