Let point A be 0.0 miles (first city)
Let point B be 160.5 miles (first city to second city)
Let point C be 28.5 miles (first city to mail stop)

Take C – A = C [28.5 - 0.0 = 28.5] (This checks the distance between city 1 and Mail stop) 

Then Take B – C = Distance from the first city to the second city [160.5 - 28.5 = 132 Miles]


Answer: The Mail stop is 132 miles from the Second City.

A tennis player standing 12.6m from the net hits the ball at 3.00 degrees above the horizontal. To clear the net, the ball must
mezya [45]
We actually don't need to know how far he/she is standing from the net, as we know that the ball reaches its maximum height (vertex) at the net. At the vertex, it's vertical velocity is 0, since it has stopped moving up and is about to come back down, and its displacement is 0.33m. So we use v² = u² + 2as (neat trick I discovered just then for typing the squared sign: hold down alt and type 0178 on ur numpad wtih numlock on!!!) ANYWAY....... We apply v² = u² + 2as in the y direction only. Ignore x direction. 
IN Y DIRECTION: v² = u² + 2as 0 = u² - 2gh u = √(2gh) (Sub in values at the very end) 
So that will be the velocity in the y direction only. But we're given the angle at which the ball is hit (3° to the horizontal). So to find the velocity (sum of the velocity in x and y direction on impact) we can use: sin 3° = opposite/hypotenuse = (velocity in y direction only) / (velocity) So rearranging, velocity = (velocity in y direction only) / sin 3° = √(2gh)/sin 3° = (√(2 x 9.8 x 0.33)) / sin 3° = 49 m/s at 3° to the horizontal (2 sig figs)

Could an experiment similar to young's two-slit experiment be performed with sound? how might this be carried out? does it matte
Arada [10]
Young's double slit experiment(YDSE) can be used for any kind of waves such as electromagnetic waves, sound waves, water waves, gravity waves. YDSE is based on interference. In this experiment, we make two waves interfere in order to obtain bright and dark fringes on the screen(in case of light).
You can carry this out with water, would be great if you try this at pond or water reservoir in order to see perfect ripples.
