In aviation, it is helpful for pilots to know the cloud celling, which is the distance between the ground and lowest cloud. The

simplest way to measure this is by using a spotlight to shine a beam of light up at the clouds and measuring the angle between the ground ad where the beam hits the clouds. If the spotlight on the ground is 0.75 kg from the hangar door as shown in the image below, what is the cloud ceiling?

Answer:

0.27km

Explanation:

tanA=\frac{a}{b}

a=btanA

a=(0.75km)tan20

=0.27km

Canada geese migrate essentially along a north–south direction for well over a thousand kilo-meters in some cases, traveling at
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

a) 66.4 relative to the west in the south-west direction

b) 5.455 hours

Explanation:

a)If the wind is blowing east-ward at a speed of 40km/h, then the west component of the geese velocity must be 40km/h in order to counter balance it. Geese should be flying south-west at an angle of

cos(\alpha) = 40 / 100 = 0.4

\alpha = cos^{-1}(0.4) = 1.16 rad = 180\frac{1.16}{\pi} = 66.4^0 relative to the West

b) The south-component of the geese velocity is

100sin(\alpha) = 100sin(66.4^0) = 91.65 km/h

The time it would take for the geese to cover 500km at this rate is

t = 500 / 91.65 = 5.455 hours

When you go out into the sun, the UV light can give you a tan. UV light has a frequency of 7.89 x 1014 Hz. What is the wavelengt
Olin [163]

Answer:

Explanation:

Formula and givens

  • λ = c / f
  • λ is the wavelength
  • c = the speed of light
  • f = the frequency
  • c = 3*10^8
  • f = 7.89 * 10^14

λ = ?

Solution

λ = 3*10^8 / 7.89*10^14

λ = 3*10^8/7.89*10^14

λ = 2.36 * 10^7

λ = 236 nanometers. What you use as your solution depends on what what you have been taught.
