Answer: 93ft

Explanation: Martha's eyesight make an angle with the fence, this is solved as a triangle problem.

We first convert all the dimensions to inches using the fact that 12 inches make 1 ft.

To solve for the angle

Tan § = 18/48 = 0.375

§ = tan^-1 of 0.375 = 20.55°

This same angle elevates to the edge of the building

Tan 20.55 = 399/x

x = 399/tan 20.55

x = 1040 inches

Height of building = x + height of fence

Height of building = 1040 + 78 = 1118 inches

Converting back to ft it becomes

1118/12 = 93 ft 2 inches

Approximately 93ft

What is the uncertainty of the position of the bacterium? express your answer with the appropriate units?
lbvjy [14]
For two un-related quantities, the Heisenberg uncertainty equations holds: the prduct of the two uncertainty quantities is greater than \hbar/2
Example of unrelated quantities are position and momentum, energy and time. 
Thus
\Delta x*\Delta p  \ \textgreater \ \hbar/2
Knowing the speed of the bacteria the uncertainty in its position is
\Delta x \ \textgreater \ \hbar/(2 \Delta p) =\hbar/(2mv)

How do i find the number of leptons in an atom??
Serjik [45]

Answer:

In particle physics, a lepton is an elementary particle of half-integer spin (spin 1⁄2) that does not undergo strong interactions.[1] Two main classes of leptons exist: charged leptons (also known as the electron-like leptons or muons), and neutral leptons (better known as neutrinos). Charged leptons can combine with other particles to form various composite particles such as atoms and positronium, while neutrinos rarely interact with anything, and are consequently rarely observed. The best known of all leptons is the electron.

a ball is dropped from rest at a height of 89m above the ground. (a)what is it's speed just before it hits the ground? (b) how l
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

(a) 41.75m/s

(b) 4.26s

Explanation:

Let:

 Distance, D = 89m

 Gravity, g = 9.8 m/s^{2}

Initial Velocity, u = 0m/s

Final Velocity, v = ?

Time Taken, t = ?

With the distance formula, which is

D = ut + \frac{1}{2} gt^2

and by substituting what we already know, we have:

89 = \frac{1}{2}×9.8×t^{2}

With the equation above, we can solve for t:

t=\sqrt{\frac{89(2)}{9.8}} \\t=\sqrt{\frac{178}{9.8} } \\t=\sqrt{18.16} \\t=4.26 seconds

Now that we have solved t, we can use the following velocity formula to solve for v:

v = u + at, where a is also equals to g, so we have

v = u + gt

By substituting u = 0, g = 9.8, and t = 4.26,

We have:

v = 0 + 9.8(4.26)\\v = 41.75m/s

"what information does the slope of the line give you when graphing the pressure versus 1/volume at constant temperature for 1 m
Rashid [163]
Hello!

The slope of the line given by graphing pressure vs 1/Volume at constant temp for one mole of gas will give you the value for nRT from equation PV=nRT

So set nRT=slope and take the constant number mole of gas and the constant temp and solve for R the universal gas constant. You arm for pressure and litters for volume to get R in units of L*atm/mol*k

Hope this helps you! Thanks!!
