Answer:

Approximate height of the building is 23213 meters.

Explanation:

Let the height of the building be represented by h.

0.02 radians = 0.02 × \frac{180^{o} }{\pi }

                     = 0.02 x (180/\frac{22}{7})

0.02 radians  = 1.146°

10.5 km = 10500 m

Applying the trigonometric function, we have;

Tan θ = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

So that,

Tan 1.146° = \frac{h}{10500}

⇒ h = Tan 1.146° x 10500

      = 2.21074 x 10500

      = 23212.77

h = 23213 m

The approximate height of the building is 23213 m.

Refraction refers to C. the bending of light rays when they pass from one medium into another

Explanation:

Refraction is a phenomenon typical of wave. Refraction occurs when a wave travels through the boundary between two different mediums. When this occurs, the wave changes speed, wavelength and direction (but the frequency remains the same).

In particular, the direction of the refracted ray is determined by Snell's Law:

n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2

where

n_1 is the index of refraction of the 1st medium

n_2 is the index of refraction of the 2nd medium

\theta_1 is the angle of incidence, which is the angle between the direction of the incident wave and the normal to the boundary

\theta_2 is the angle of refraction, which is the angle between the direction of the refracted wave and the normal to the boundary

Therefore, the correct description of refraction is

C. the bending of light rays when they pass from one medium into another

What is static friction?​
givi [52]

Answer:

Plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz brainliest

Explanation:

In static friction, the frictional force resists force that is applied to an object, and the object remains at rest until the force of static friction is overcome. In kinetic friction, the frictional force resists the motion of an object. ... The frictional force itself is directed oppositely to the motion of the object.

The motion of a car on a position time graph is represented with a horizontal tine What does this indicate about the car's motio
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Position-Time graphs display the motion of a object by showing the changes of velocity with respect to time.

The motion of a car on a position-time graph that is represented with a horizontal line indicates that the car has stopped moving.

A straight line with a positive slope indicates that the car is moving at a constant velocity, and thus the slope is constant. On the other hand, a curve with a changing slope, shows that the velocity is changing.
