Answer:

56.7°

Explanation:

Imagine a rectangle triangle.

The triangle has 3 sides.

One side is the height of the tower, let's name it A.

Another side is the distance from the base of the tower to the point where the waire touches the ground. Let's name that B.

Sides A and B are perpendicular.

The other side is the length of the wire. Let's name it C.

From trigonometry we know that:

cos(a) = B / C

Where a is the angle between B anc C, between the wire and the ground.

Therefore

a = arccos(B/C)

a = arccos(552/1005) = 56.7°

What is non-point source pollution, and why is this kind of pollution hard to monitor and control?
antoniya [11.8K]

The use of pesticides in farming land is example of non-point source pollution. The area of emitting of pollution is very large. That is why, it is difficult to monitor and control this type of pollution.

Americans get their water for everyday use through aquifer. Aquifers can be conserve by avoiding high amount of chemical uses and reducing household waste. Also the sustainable use of water cause conservation of natural resource.

Aquifer are basically underground water present in ground pores. The structure of aquifer just look like sponge. The water moves through the porous surfaces of the ground.

What are (a) the energy of a photon corresponding to wavelength 6.0 nm, (b) the kinetic energy of an electron with de Broglie wa
dlinn [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = 6.0 nm

de Broglie wavelength = 6.0 nm

(a). We need to calculate the energy of photon

Using formula of energy

E = \dfrac{hc}{\lambda}

E=\dfrac{6.63\times10^{-34}\times3\times10^{8}}{6.0\times10^{-9}}

E=3.315\times10^{-17}\ J

(b).  We need to calculate the kinetic energy of an electron

Using formula of kinetic energy

\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}}

E=\dfrac{h^2}{2m\lambda^2}

Put the value into the formula

E=\dfrac{(6.63\times10^{-34})^2}{2\times9.1\times10^{-31}\times(6.0\times10^{-9})^2}

E=6.709\times10^{-21}\ J

(c). We need to calculate the energy of photon

Using formula of energy

E = \dfrac{hc}{\lambda}

E=\dfrac{6.63\times10^{-34}\times3\times10^{8}}{6.0\times10^{-15}}

E=3.315\times10^{-11}\ J

(d). We need to calculate the kinetic energy of an electron

Using formula of kinetic energy

\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}}

E=\dfrac{h^2}{2m\lambda^2}

Put the value into the formula

E=\dfrac{(6.63\times10^{-34})^2}{2\times9.1\times10^{-31}\times(6.0\times10^{-15})^2}

E=6.709\times10^{-9}\ J

Hence, This is the required solution.
