Answer:

h = 65.021 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity of a baseball, u = 17 m/s

It lands 2.3 seconds later.

We need to find the height of the building. Let it is h. It can be calculated using second equation of motion as follows :

$h=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

here, a = g

$h=17(2.3)+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times 2.3^2\\\\=65.021\ m$

So, the building is 65.021 m tall.

How is magnetism important to our evolution?

sweet [91]

If it helps Mark Brainliest.. :)

natural magnetism of the Earth derives from its iron core. This not only provides a useful direction finder for compasses, but actually protects life on Earth by deflecting charged particles in space. The "magnetosphere" is a large region that surrounds the Earth as it moves in its orbit around the Sun. It consists of charged ions that are prevented from directly striking the surface, where they could injure living organisms and harm the environment.When solar eruptions on the Sun increase the flow of charged particles, industries such as power transmission and communication can be still be affected despite the magnetic field

A man walks along a straight path at a speed of 4 ft/s. A searchlight is located on the ground 6 ft from the path and is kept fo

BARSIC [14]

We are given that,

$\frac{dx}{dt} = 4ft/s$

We need to find $\frac{d\theta}{dt}$ when $x=8ft$

The equation that relates x and $\theta$ can be written as,

$\frac{x}{6} tan\theta$

$x = 6tan\theta$

Differentiating each side with respect to t, we get,

$\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{dx}{d\theta} \cdot \frac{d\theta}{dt}$

$\frac{dx}{dt} = (6sec^2\theta)\cdot \frac{d\theta}{dt}$

$\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{1}{6sec^2\theta} \cdot \frac{dx}{dt}$

Replacing the value of the velocity

$\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{1}{6} cos^2\theta (4)^2$

$\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{8}{3} cos^2\theta$

The value of $cos \theta$ could be found if we know the length of the beam. With this value the equation can be approximated to the relationship between the sides of the triangle that is being formed in order to obtain the numerical value. If this relation is known for the value of x = 6ft, the mathematical relation is obtained. I will add a numerical example (although the answer would end in the previous point) If the length of the beam was 10, then we would have to

$cos\theta = \frac{6}{10}$

$\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{8}{3} (\frac{6}{10})^2$

$\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{24}{25}$
