Answer:
Explanation:
<u>1) Data:</u>
a) height of the person = opposite-leg to the angle the sun makes with the ground = 5 ft
b) length of the shadow = adjacent-leg to the angle the sun makes with the ground = 12 ft
c) angle, α = ?
<u>2) Solution</u>
- tanα = opposite-leg / adjacent-leg
- tanα = 5 ft / 12 5t = 5/12
- 22.6° rounded to the nearest degree is 23° ← answer
Answer:
<h2>b) 3.48 N approx.</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>The bird will experience a centripetal force, this is the force exerted on a body that moves through a curve path.</em>

Fc=centripetal force
m=mass
v=velocity
r=radius
Step one:
given data
mass of bird m=0.3kg
the radius of curve r= 20m
velocity v= 15 m/s
Substituting we have

<u>The force is 3.37N</u>
Divide by 20 to put the equation into intercept form.
.. x/4 +y/(-10) = 1
The x-intercept is 4.
The y-intercept is -10.
