A mountaintop is a height y above the level ground. A woman measures the angle of elevation of the mountaintop to be θ when she

is a horizontal distance x from the mountaintop. After walking a distance d closer to the mountain, she measures the angle of elevation of the mountaintop to be φ. Neglecting the height of the woman’s eyes above the ground, draw a well-labeled diagram representing this situation and find an expression for the height of the mountain, y, in terms of d, φ, and θ. Note that your expression cannot contain x.

Let t = Theta and p = Phi
Tan t = y/x    Then x =y/Tant.
Tant = y/(x-d)  x-d = y/Tanp
y/Tant  - d = y/Tanp
y -d*Tanr = y*Tant/Tanp
y-y*Tant/Tanp  =  d*Tanr
y(1 - Tanr/Tanp = d*Tant

y = d*Tant/(1-Tant/Tanp)

Will the velocity of the book change as it moves across the surface with NO friction? Explain your answer.
MakcuM [25]

No velocity will not be changed

Why?

According to Newtons 1st law the velocity of a moving object remains unchanged unless a external force affect that.

Estimate frequency of vibration of your arm. Let the length of the arm be 0.57 m. Consider the arm as a simple pendulum and assu
skad [1K]

Answer:

0.80865 Hz

1.23662 seconds

Explanation:

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

l = Length of arm = 0.57 m

Length of simple pendulum is given by

L=\dfrac{2}{3}l\\\Rightarrow L=\dfrac{2}{3}\times 0.57\\\Rightarrow L=0.38\ m

The frequency is given by

f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{g}{L}}\\\Rightarrow f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{9.81}{0.38}}\\\Rightarrow f=0.80865\ Hz

The frequency is 0.80865 Hz

The time period is given by

T=\dfrac{1}{f}\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{1}{0.80865}\\\Rightarrow T=1.23662\ s

The time period is 1.23662 seconds

A stone is dropped from a cliff. What will be its speed when it was fallen 100 m?
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

final velocity will be44.72m/s

Explanation:

HEIGHT=h=100m

vi=0m/s

vf=?

g=10m/s²

by using third equation of motion for bodies under gravity

2gh=(vf)²-(vi)²

evaluating the formula

2(10m/s²)(100m)=vf²-(0m/s)²

2000m²/s²=vf²

√2000m²/s²=√vf²

44.72m/s=vf
