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)

A baseball with a mass of 300 g has a kinetic energy of 304 J. Calculate the speed of the baseball
scZoUnD [109]

The formula for kinetic energy is equal to 1/2mv^2, where "m" is the mass of the object (in kilograms) and "v" is equal to the velocity of the object (in meters per second). To calculate the speed, simply plug in the values and solve.

KE = 0.5mv^2

304 J = 0.5(0.3 kg)v^2         -mass converted from grams to kilograms

v = 45.02 m/s

The baseball is travelling about 45.02 meters per second.

Hope this helps!

What device produces light by running an electric current through a gas
Andrej [43]

Answer:

fluorescent bulb

Explanation:

A fluorescent bulb is what produces light.

It produces light by passing electric current through a gas to

A fluorescent lamp, is a low-pressure mercury vapor and a gas-discharge lamp that uses fluorescence to produce visible light. like the ones we see.  An electric current in the gas excites mercury vapor, and that produces a short wave ultraviolet light and well that causes a phosphor coating on the inside of the lamp to glow. i tried making this sound as simple as possible.

i hope this really helps you !! thanks this and mark this as brainliest !!!

two vectors have a magnitude of 2.5km and 6.5 km . Predict the maximum and minimum magnitudes of their resultant vector
agasfer [191]

The maximum magnitude of their resultant vector is when the two vectors are parallel and in the same direction, so they lie on the same axis. In this case, the magnitude of their resultant vector is simply the sum of the two magnitudes:

R=2.5 km+6.5 km=9.0 km


The minimum magnitude of their resultant vector is when the two vectors are parallel but in opposite direction. In this case, the magnitude of their resultant vectors is just the difference between the two magnitudes:

R=6.5 km-2.5 km=4.0 km

A lever is used to lift a heavy rock. The mechanical advantage of the lever is 4 and the lever applies a force of 800 N to the r
Lesechka [4]
 The force applied to the lever is 400 N, because the force applied by the lever (800 N) divided by the mechanical advantage of the lever (4) equals
400 N.

(800/4) = 200

Part F A system experiences a change in internal energy of 14 kJkJ in a process that involves a transfer of 36 kJkJ of heat into
Molodets [167]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to first law of thermodynamics :

Q = ΔE + W

Q is heat added , ΔE is increase in the internal energy of the system and W is work done by the system .

Here Q = 36 KJ

ΔE = 14 kJ

Putting the values in the equation

36 = 14 + W

W = 36 - 14

= 22 kJ .

Work done by gas or system = 22 kJ.
