Clark Kent and Lois Lane were laying on a blanket, enjoying a relaxing picnic when Clark noticed a giant asteroid approaching Ea

rth. Clark calculates the angle of elevation of the asteroid's approach to be 62°. Lois' penthouse apartment is also in the pathway of the asteroid's approach, 100 feet above ground. Clark's eye is 75 feet from the base of Lois' building. Will the asteroid take out Lois' penthouse apartment?

Answer:

The asteroid will not take out Lois' penthouse.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the distance between Clark and the base of Lois' building is x = 75 feet and the asteroid is at an angle of elevation of Ф = 62°. These two components form a right-angled triangle with opposite side h which is the height of the asteroid above the ground.

So, by trigonometric ratios,

tanФ = h/x

h = xtanФ

h = 75 ft × tan62°

h = 75 ft × 1.8807

h = 141.1 feet

Since h = height of asteroid above the ground = 141.1 feet is greater than height of the penthouse above the ground = 100 feet, the asteroid will not take out Lois' penthouse.

<h3>What is velocity?</h3>

Velocity is the direction at which an item is moving and serves as a measure of the rate at which its location is changing as seen from a certain point of view and as measured by a specific unit of time (for example, 60 km/h northbound). In kinematics, the area of classical mechanics that deals with the motion of bodies, velocity is a basic idea. A physical vector quantity called velocity must have both a magnitude and a direction in order to be defined. Speed is the scalar absolute value (magnitude) of velocity; it is a coherent derived unit whose quantity is measured in metres per second (m/s or m/s1) in the SI (metric system).
