A radio station tower was built in two sections. From a point 87 feet from the base of the tower, the angle of elevation of the

top of the first section is 25 degrees, and the angle of the top of the second section is 40 degrees. to the nearest foot, what is the height of the top section of the tower?

Answer:

tan theta = H / B        where H is height of triangle and B the length of base

H1 = 87 * tan 25 =  40.6 feet

H2 = 87 * tan 40 = 73 feet

H2 - H1 = 32.4 feet

Which best describes a characteristic of an adiabatic process?
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

<h3>Can you please provide the choices? For now this is all I can give you.</h3>

Explanation:

In thermodynamics, an adiabatic process is a type of thermodynamic process which occurs without transferring heat or mass between the system and its surroundings.Unlike an isothermal process, an adiabatic process transfers energy to the surroundings only as work. It also conceptually supports the theory used to explain the first law of thermodynamics and is therefore a key thermodynamic concept.

What is the net charge of a metal ball if there are 21,749 extra electrons in it?
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Q=3.47\times 10^{-15}\ C

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of extra electrons, n = 21749

We need to find the net charge on the metal ball. Let Q is the net charge.

We know that the charge on an electron is q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

To find the net charge if there are n number of extra electrons is :

Q = n × q

Q=21749\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

Q=3.47\times 10^{-15}\ C

So, the net charge on the metal ball is 3.47\times 10^{-15}\ C. Hence, this is the required solution.

A QL = -26 μC charge is placed on the x-axis at x = - 0.2 m. A QR = 26 μC charge is placed at x = +0.2 m. (for all answers below
Kaylis [27]
<span>You are given a QL = -26 μC charge that is placed on the x-axis at x = - 0.2 m and a QR = 26 μC charge that is placed at x = +0.2 m. The answers are:

The x-component of the electric field at x = 0 m and y = 0.2 m is 3.
The y-component of the electric field at x = 0 m and y = 0.2 m is 2.

Indigenous people sometimes cooked in watertight baskets by placing enough hot rocks into the water to bring it to a boil. What
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

The rock has a mass of 4.02 kg

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>Data given

Mass of the rock = TO BE DETERMINED

Temperature of the rock = 500 °C

Mass of the water  =4.24 kg

⇒ loses 0.044kg as vapor

Initial temperature of the water = 29°C

Final temperature = 100°C

Specific heat of rock = 0.20 kcal/kg °C

Specific heat of water = 1kcal/kg°C

Latent heat of vaporization = 539 kcal/kg

<u>Step 2:</u> formules

Qlost,rock + Qgained,water = 0

Qtotal,water = Qwater +Qvapor

<u>Step 3: </u>Calculate Qvapor

Qvapor = mass of vapor * Latent heat of vapor

Qvapor = 0.044kg * 539 kcal/kg = 23.716 kcal

<u>Step 4: </u>Calculate Qwater

Qwater = mass of water * specific heat * Δtemperature

Qwater = 4.196 kg * 1kcal/kg°C *( 100-29)

Qwater = 297.916 kcal

<u>Step 5:</u> Calculate Qwater,total

Qwater,total = Qwater + Qvapor

Qwater,total = 23.716 kcal + 297.916 = 321.632 kcal

<u>Step 6</u>: Calculate Qrock

Qrock = mass of rock * specific heat rock * Δtemperature

Qrock = mass of rock * 0.20 kcal/kg°C * (100-500)

Qrock = mass of rock * -80 kcal/kg

<u>Step 7:</u> Calculate mass of rock

Qlost,rock + Qgained,water = 0

Qlost,rock = -Qgained,water

mass of rock * -80 kcal/kg = -321.632 kcal

mass of rock = 4.02 kg

The rock has a mass of 4.02 kg

LenKa [72]

Answer:

2.91 x 10¹² sec

Explanation:

d = distance of nearest star, Proxima Centauri  = 4.3 ly = 4.3 x 9.46 x 10¹⁵ m

v = speed of new horizon probe = 14 km/hr = 14000 m/s

t = time taken for the new horizon probe to reach nearest star, Proxima Centauri = ?

Using the equation

d = v t

Inserting the values given

4.3 x 9.46 x 10¹⁵ = (14000) t

t = 2.91 x 10¹² sec
