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)

What happens to the electric potential energy of a negatively charged ion as it moves through the water from the negative probe
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Decreases.

Explanation:

Electric potential energy is the potential energy which is associated with the configuration of points charge in a system and it is the result of conservative coulomb force.

When the negatively charge ion is at the position of the negative probe than its potential energy is positive when it is move towards the positive probe it's potential energy becomes negative due to the negative ion.

Therefore, potential energy is decreases when negative charge ion moves through the water from negative probe to positive probe.
