The angle of elevation of the ground is the angle between the ground and the line of sight

The angle of elevation of the ground is 30.46 degrees

<h3>How to calculate the angle of elevation</h3>

The angle of elevation is calculated using the following tangent ratio

\tan(\theta) = \frac{10}{17}

Evaluate the quotient

\tan(\theta) = 0.5882

Take the arc tan of both sides

\theta = \tan^{-1}(0.5882)

Using a calculator, we have:

\theta = 30.46

Hence, the angle of elevation of the ground to the nearest tenth of a degree is 30.46 degrees

The statement that is true of simon as an individual is; C: His annual deductible will be $800.

<h3>What is In-network Insurance?</h3>

For in - network insurance, we know the following facts;

  • Charged a lower copayment rate after deductible.
  • Incur a relatively low out-of-pocket amount.
  • Have a relatively low annual deductible.

Now, in-network physicians help to reduce the cost of insurance to the individual and as a result, what is most likely going to happen is that Simon  will have an annual deductible of $800 and is less likely that he will not pay anything after meeting this annual deductible.

The missing options are;

a. The cost of his annual physical will be 50% after deductible

b. The maximum amount that he can expect to pay out-of-pocket is $6,000.

c. His annual deductible will be $800.

d. Once he hits his annual deductible of $800, he will incur no additional costs for health care services for the rest of the calendar year.

1. Kepler's three laws resulted from his careful analysis of ____ data, and were not derived from a mathematical model.
Sav [38]
<h2>1. Right answer: Observational </h2>

Kepler formulated the three laws of planetary motion <u>from observations made by</u> the Danish astronomer <u>Tycho Brahe of the orbit of Mars. </u>

These laws were enunciated to mathematically describe the movement of the planets in their orbits around the Sun. However, the scientific resources existing in his time did not allow him to prove these laws. It was Newton who did it after having developed the Differential and Integral Calculus and formulating the Laws of Universal Gravitation.

<h2>2.  Right answer: Aristotelian </h2>

Aristotle mistakenly thought that the Earth was the center of the universe, thus establishing a <u>geocentric cosmological model. </u>

According to this model, Aristotle proposed that the universe (the cosmos) was spherical and finite, with the Earth immobile at its center, composed of the four fundamental elements (made up of spherical layers): ground, water, air and fire; and the Sun along with the fixed planets in their respective concentric spheres revolving around the Earth. The outermost sphere being that of the stars and all these external elements being made of a fifth element which he called ether.
