A man stands on his balcony, 130 feet above the ground. He looks at the ground, with his sight line forming an angle of 70° with

the building, and sees a bus stop. The function d = 130 sec θ models the distance from the man to any object given his angle of sight θ. How far is the bus stop from the man? Round your answer to the nearest foot.

Answer:

d =  380 feet

Explanation:

Height of man = perpendicular= 130 feet

Angle of depression = ∅ = 70 °

distance to bus stop from man = hypotenuse = d = 130 sec∅

As sec ∅ = 1 / cos∅

so d = 130 sec∅    or d = 130 / cos∅

d = 130 / cos(70°)

d =  380 feet

I think the right answer is the first one. If she stops moving her Position does not change any more-and the Graph Shows that after 6 seconds she stays at the Position of 5 m. If she Went Back to the start point the Graph would have Developed Back to 0m(decreased).

You are using a rope to lift a 14.5 kg crate of fruit. Initially you are lifting the crate at 0.500 m/s. You then increase the t
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

W = 172.5 J

Explanation:

given,                                    

mass of the fruit crate = 14.5 kg

initial velocity to lift = 0.500 m/s

increase in the tension = 150 N

lift of crate = 1.15 m                  

work done by the tension = ?        

work done  = force x displacement

W = F s cos θ                                

θ = 0°                                    

W = F s x cos 0                                  

W = 150 x 1.15 x 1                

W = 172.5 J                                      

Work done on the crate by the tension force = W = 172.5 J

A proton moves along the x-axis with vx=1.0×107m/s. As it passes the origin, what are the strength and direction of the magnetic
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Magnetic field will be ZERO at the given position

Explanation:

As we know that the magnetic field due to moving charge is given as

B = \frac{\mu_0 qv sin\theta}{4\pi r^2}

so here we know that for the direction of magnetic field we will use

\hat B = \hat v \times \hat r

so we have

\hat B = \hat i \times (\hat i + 0\hat j + 0\hat k)

so magnetic field must be ZERO

So whenever charge is moving along the same direction where the position vector is given then magnetic field will be zero

The two hot-air balloons in the drawing are 48.2m and 61.0 m above the ground.A person in the left balloon observes that the rig
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

The horizontal distance x between the two balloons is 54.15 m

Explanation:

The diagram described as obtained online is presented in the image attached to this solution.

Let the horizontal distance between the two balloons be x

Difference in height (vertical distance) between the two balloons = 61 - 48.2 = 12.8 m

Using trigonometric relations, it is evident that

Tan 13.3° = 12.8/x

x = 12.8/tan 13.3° = 12.8/0.2364 = 54.15 m

A physics department has a Foucault pendulum, a long-period pendulum suspended from the ceiling. The pendulum has an electric ci
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

t=37 mins -> 2220sec

We want "T" which is the pendulum time constant

Using this equation

.5A=Ae^(-t/T)

The .5A is half the amplitude

Take ln of both sides to get ride of Ae

=ln(.5)=-2220/T

Now rearrange to = T

T=-2220/ln(.5) = 3202.78sec / 60 secs = 53.38 mins -> first part of the answer.

The second part is really easy. It took 37 mins to decay half way. meaning to decay another half of 50% which equals 25% it will take an additional 37 mins!
