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

10. A safe place to use the trebuchet would be away from other buildings and people. A good example of a place would be a large field with no nearby structures. 
14. Many factors need to be kept consistent throughout the experiment. One example of a variable that would need to be consistent is the weight and size of the projectile. 
15. It is important to do many trials so that you can make sure that the results of each trial are nearly the same. If they are all vastly different, then it means that something has gone wrong. 

Sorry I was only able to answer a few questions, but I hope these few answers help! :)

Which location, 23 degrees or 48 degrees would experience the same earthquake at stronger intensity?Explain why.​
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

48 degress

Explanation:

An earthquake causes many different intensities of shaking in the area of the epicenter where it occurs. So the intensity of an earthquake will vary depending on where you are. Sometimes earthquakes are referred to by the maximum intensity they produce. In the United States, we use the Modified Mercalli Scale. Earthquake intensity is a ranking based on the observed effects of an earthquake in each particular place. Therefore, each earthquake produces a range of intensity values, ranging from highest in the epicenter area to zero at a distance from the epicenter.
