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.

A metal wire breaks when its tension reaches 100 newton. If the radius and length of the wire were both doubled then it would br
serg [7]

Answer:

200 N

Explanation:

Since Young's modulus for the metal, E = σ/ε where σ = stress = F/A where F = force on metal and A = cross-sectional area, and ε = strain = e/L where e = extension of metal = change in length and L = length of metal wire.

So,  E = σ/ε = FL/eA

Now, since at break extension = e.

So making e subject of the formula, we have

e = FL/EA = FL/Eπr² where r = radius of metal wire

Now, when the radius and length are doubled, we have our extension as e' = F'L'/Eπr'² where F' = new force on metal wire, L' = new length = 2L and r' = new radius = 2r

So, e' = F'(2L)/Eπ(2r)²

e' = 2F'L/4Eπr²

e' = F'L/2Eπr²

Since at breakage, both extensions are the same, e = e'

So,  FL/Eπr² = F'L/2Eπr²

F = F'/2

F' = 2F

Since F = 100 N,

F' = 2 × 100 N = 200 N

So, If the radius and length of the wire were both doubled then it would break when the tension reached 200 Newtons.

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

"Longitudinal wave" is the appropriate answer.

Explanation:

  • Generating waves whenever the form of communication being displaced in a similar direction as well as in the reverse way of the wave's designated points, could be determined as Longitudinal waves.
  • A wave running the length of something like a Slinky stuffed animal, which expands as well as reduces the spacing across spindles, produces a fine image or graphic.

Answer:

Answer:

= 338.2 m/s

Explanation:

vs= 331 + T (0.6m/s)

= 331 + 12 °C (0.6m/s)

= 331 + 7.2m/s

= 338.2 m/s
