Answer:
21.25 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
In miles per second, the speed of the jet is ...
(720 mi/h)/(3600 s/h) = 1/5 mi/s
The speed of the sound is the same:
(1 mi)/(5 s) = 1/5 mi/s
Then the rate of closure between the airplane and the sound is ...
(1/5 mi/s) +(1/5 mi/s) = 2/5 mi/s
To find the time required to close a gap of 8 1/2 miles, we can use the relation ...
time = distance/speed
time = (8.5 mi)/(0.4 mi/s) = 21.25 s
The pilot will hear the thunder 21.25 seconds after the flash.

Answer:
21.27 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Please find the attachment.
Let H and h represent height of building and tree respectively.
We have been given that a person on the ground looks up at an angle of 28° and sees the top of a tree and the top of a building aligned. The tree is 20 m away from the person and the building is 60 m away from the person.
We know that tangent relates opposite side of a right triangle with its adjacent side.
Similarly, we can find height of the tree.
Therefore, the difference in heights between the building and tree is 21.27 meters.
37=a+5d
114=a+16d
_________
114-37=16d-5d
77=11d
7=d
_________
37=a+5×7
37-35=a
2=a
________
a23=a+(23-1)×d
a23=2+(23-1)×7
a23=156
