Answer:

35 m

Explanation:

Given :

The distance of the path from the ground to the tree limb = 50 m

The angle between the path of flight of the bird towards the tree limb and the ground = 45 degrees

Therefore we can determine the height above which the bird perched above the ground by using the rules of the trigonometric ratios as;

We know that ,

$\sin 45^\circ =\frac{\text{perpendicular}}{\text{hypothenus}}$

$\sin 45^\circ =\frac{\text{BC}}{\text{AC}}$

$0.7  =\frac{\text{BC}}{\text{50}}$

\text{BC }= 0.7 \times 50

       = 35

Therefore, the bird perched on the tree limb at a height of 35 m.

Explain the Law of Reflection
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

Explanation:

angle of incidence (i) = angle of reflection (r)

So if the angle of incidence was 45°, the angle of reflection would also be 45°.

A roller coaster car rapidly picks up speed as it
TiliK225 [7]
Acceleration = (change of speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (22 - 4) = 18 m/s.
Time for the change = 3 sec.

Acceleration = 18/3 = 6 m/s per second.
