Answer:

The angle that the ramp makes with the ground is 11.54°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image attached, we can see that the length of 17 1/2 ft corresponds to the hypotenuse in a right triangle, the length of 3 1/2 ft corresponds to the opposite side.

We can use the fact that the sin(θ) = \frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse} to find the angle that the ramp makes with the ground.

sin(\theta)=\frac{3.5}{17.5}

The angle is equal to

\theta = sin^{-1}(\frac{3.5}{17.5} )\\\theta = 11.54\°

Answer:

It will take 58 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have 1 kg of water in the jar, half of it will be 0.5 kg.

To vaporize half of the water (0.500 kg) the energy supply needed is

2297 kJ/kg*0.5kg=1148.5 kJ

If the stove is supplying 20 kJ/s, the time its needed is

\frac{1148.5 kJ}{20\frac{KJ}{s} }=57.425 s

It will last at least 58 seconds to vaporize half of the water.
