two people are standing 100m apart on the bank of a river that flows due east. if a rock on the opposite bank is along a bearing

of N 25 degrees East from one person and along a bearing of N 15 dEGREES wEST FROM the other person, what is the width of the river?

Answer:160.88 m

Explanation:

Given

Distance Between two person is 100

i.e. p+q=100

Let W be the width of River

From First Triangle

p=W\tan 24

From Second Triangle

q=W\tan 10

W\tan 24+W\tan 10=100

W(\tan 24+\tan 10)=100

W=\frac{100}{0.6215}

W=160.88 m

What is the final speed of an object that starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at 4.0 meters per second2 over a distance o
jonny [76]
Considering that the acceleration is uniform a=4 (m/s^2) we apply the equation
v^2=v0^2+2as
with zero initial speed 
v^2=2as
and we obtain the speed
v^2 =2*8*4 =64 (m/s)^2
Thus v=8 (m/s)

what is a possible unit for the product VI, where V is the potential difference across a resistor and I is the current through t
liq [111]
Recall this equation for a device in a direct current circuit:
P = IV
P is the power dissipated by the device, I is the current through the device, and V is the voltage drop of the device.

If we choose to use the ampere as the unit of current and the volt as the unit of voltage, then the product of the current and the voltage will give the power with watts as the unit.

Johnny was playing baseball with his friends and they noticed a bolt of lightning. They heard thunder seven seconds later. How f
Thepotemich [5.8K]

That particular strike was very roughly 2.4 km (1.5 miles) away from them.

That's if you use 340 m/s (1120 ft/sec) for the speed of sound. 
But the air in the region for several thousand feet around a thunderstorm
is doing weird things to sounds that pass through it, so you can't use any
exact number for the speed of sound in a stormy area.

The only thing you can be absolutely sure of is that Johnny and his friends
need to round up their equipment and get in the house.  NOW !

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

As it’s difficult to catch it from up.

Gravitational force will pull us when we jump.

If gravity was not there, he could catch the ball. But he will float in the sky after that.

That’s the answer

A 0.50 kilogram ball is held at a height of 20 meters. What is the kinetic energy of the ball when it reaches halfway after bein
Margarita [4]
Potential energy at any point is (M G H). On the way down, only H changes. So halfway down, half of the potential energy remains, and the other half has turned to kinetic energy. Half of the (M G H) it had at the tpp is (0.5 x 9.8 x 10) = 49 joules.
