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)

KatRina [158]

d=? v=2.5 u=0 and t=5 therefore the formula to be used to find the distance my brother covered is d=1/2(v-u)t

d=1/2(2.5-0)5

The force of attraction between a ball is F=.........×10^-¹¹
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

4.45×10¯¹¹ N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of ball (M₁) = 4 Kg

Mass of bowling pin (M₂) = 1.5 Kg

Gravitational constant (G) = 6.67×10¯¹¹ Nm²/Kg²

Distance apart (r) = 3 m

Force of attraction (F) =?

The force of attraction between the ball and the bowling pin can be obtained as follow:

F = GM₁M₂ / r²

F = 6.67×10¯¹¹ × 4 × 1.5 / 3²

F = 4.002×10¯¹⁰ / 9

F = 4.45×10¯¹¹ N

Therefore, the force of attraction between the ball and the bowling pin is 4.45×10¯¹¹ N

A charge q1 of -5.00 x 10^-9 C and a charge q2 of -2.00x 10^-9 C are separated by a distance of 40.0 cm. Find the equilibrium po
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the equilibrium position of third charge be x distance from q₁.

Force on third charge due to q₁

= 9 x 10⁹ x 5 x 10⁻⁹ x 15 x 10⁺⁹ / x²

Force on third charge due to q₂

= 9 x 10⁹ x 2 x 10⁻⁹ x 15 x 10⁺⁹ /( .40-x)²

Both the force will act in opposite direction and for balancing , they should be equal.

9 x 10⁹ x 5 x 10⁻⁹ x 15 x 10⁺⁹ / x² = 9 x 10⁹ x 2 x 10⁻⁹ x 15 x 10⁺⁹ /( .40-x)²

5  / x² = 2 / ( .4 - x )²

Taking square root on both sides

2.236 / x = 1.414 / .4 - x

2.236 ( .4 - x ) = 1.414 x

.8944 - 2.236 x = 1.414 x

.8944 = 3.65 x

x = .245 m

24.5 cm

So the third charge should be at a distance of 24.5 cm from q₁ .
