You're building a 12 foot ramp to the entrance of a building 3 feet above the ground. The ADA regulations require the incline of

the ramp to be no more than 5 degrees. What is the degree measure of your angle of elevation? Will it fit the requirements? If not, can you think of a way to make it work.

Answer:

Explanation:

We can assume that:

the 12 foot ramp to the entrance of a building is the base of a right angled triangle and the  3 feet above the ground should be the height above the ground basement. The by using the tangent of a triangle from the knowledge of our trigonometric function; we have:

\mathbf{tan  \ \theta = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}}

\mathbf{tan  \ \theta = \frac{3}{12}} \\ \\ \mathbf{tan  \ \theta = 0.25 } \\ \\ \mathbf{\theta = tan^{-1} (0.25)} \\ \\ \mathbf{\theta = 14.04^o}

The degree measure of the angle of elevation is 14.04°

NO, it doesn't fit the requirements.

We can increase the foot ramp to 34 feet instead of being the 12 given value in order to fit the requirements.

Explain why the atmosphere is heated chiefly by radiation from the Earth’s surface rather by direct solar radiation.The atmosphe
Yuri [45]

Answer:

The temperature of the earth is first heated by the presence of the earth internal factors and then by the external factors.

Explanation:

  • <u>All the gases in the atmosphere cannot absorb the entire radiation given from the sun directly, so the earth's surface gets heated directly first and then re-radiated back to the sky. </u>
  • The Water vapor and carbon dioxide are known as the primary reason for the heating of the earth's atmosphere form the below and they tend to trap the amount of the solar heat and thus heat the surface-atmosphere first and they then give output of this energy in the form of the long waves radiation and thus influences the temperatures of the earth at the night time. Thus forming a greenhouse effect of gases.
  • <u>The villain is the carbon dioxides that gets accumulation the atmosphere and thus ends up heating up of the air </u>

If the distance between two places is 1000m and the height between them is 100 m, what is the gradient ?
algol [13]

The gradient between the two places is 0.1

Gradient (slope) is the ratio of change in vertical distance to change in horizontal distance. It is given by:

Gradient = vertical distance / horizontal distance

Given that the horizontal distance is 1000m and vertical distance (height) is 100 m, hence:

Gradient = vertical distance / horizontal distance

Gradient = 100 m / 1000 m

Gradient = 0.1

The gradient between the two places is 0.1

Each layer of rock in the image is a rock formation. How long do you think it took for each layer to form?
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer: First off, that is a beautiful rock!

Also, is there any other information given? Like about rock layer formation, or about this rock specifically or anything?

If there is no other information, then I'd say it took thousands for years for the layers to form, but it depends on the type of rock in the layer.

For example, Igneous rock takes only a few days to form, because all it is is cooled lava, whereas granite takes a few million years to form.

This looks like it might be sandstone or something.

Sandstone takes about 10-100 years to form, so if this is sandstone, then each layer probably look about 100 years to form, and the whole rock with all the layers might have taken thousands of years, but I need more info to be sure.
