The sun is 27 degree above the horizon. It makes a 60 m long shadow of a tall tree.

Physics

Answer:

 h = 30.57 m

Explanation:

given,

angle made with horizon, θ= 27°

Length of the shadow,L = 60 m

now,

the height of the tree would be equal to

tan \theta = \dfrac{height\ of tree}{shadow\ length}

tan 27^0 = \dfrac{h}{60}

 h = 60 x tan 27°

 h = 30.57 m

hence, height of the tree is equal to 30.57 m

What are two things that determine our traits? If someone could answer asap, that would be awesome!
zepelin [54]
In thinking about inherited traits, geneticists use two important words: genotype and phenotype. Genotype refers to the genes an organism inherits from its parents and phenotype refers to the observable characteristics of an organism: how it develops, looks, reacts and behaves. An inherited trait refers to a phenotypic characteristic, for example flower color, length of gestation or ability to metabolize cellulose. All traits have a genetic basis.

A physics teacher performing an outdoor demonstration suddenly falls from rest off a high cliff and simultaneously shouts "Help"
Digiron [165]

Answer: a) The cliff is 532.05m high

b) Her speed just before hitting the ground is 102.12 m/s

Explanation: To solve This, I'll use a sketch diagram, attached to this solution,

In 3seconds, the teacher heard the echo of her initial scream back. We can obtain the distance the teacher had fallen at the end of 3 seconds using the equations of motion,

Y1 = ut + 0.5g(t^2)

Since she's falling under the influence of gravity, her initial velocity, u = 0m/s, g = 9.8m/s2, t = 3s

Y1, distance she fell through in 3 seconds = 0.5×9.8(3^2) = 44.1m

Let the total height of the cliff be (44.1 + x); where is the remaining height of cliff that the teacher will fall through.

Using the equations of motion again, we can obtain distance travelled by the sound waves in 3s. sound waves travel with a constant speed of 340m/s, no acceleration,

Y2 = ut + 0.5g(t^2) where g = 0, u = 340m/s, t = 3seconds

Y2 = 340 × 3 = 1020m

But in 3 secs, the sound waves would have travelled through the total height of the cliff (44.1 + x) and back to the teacher's current height, x. That is, 1020 = 44.1 + x + x

x = 487.95m

So, total height of cliff = 44.1 + 487.95 = 532.05m

b) the speed of the teacher just before she hits the ground.

Using the equations of motion again,

(V^2) = (U^2) + 2gs

Where v is the final velocity to be calculated

U is the initial velocity = 0m/s

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s2

S is the total height she fell through, that is, the height of the cliff = 532.05m

(V^2) = 0 + 2×9.8×532.05 = 10428.18

V = √(10428.18) = 102.12m/s

QED!
