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

A particular cylindrical bucket has a height of 36.0 cm, and the radius of its circular cross-section is 15 cm. The bucket is em
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

a. 0.000002 m

b. 0.00000182 m

Explanation:

36 cm = 0.36 m

15 cm = 0.15 m

a) We can start by calculating the air-water pressure of the bucket submerged 20m below the water surface:

P = \ro g h = 1000 * 10 * 20 = 200000 Pa

Suppose air is ideal gas, then if the temperature stays the same, the product of its pressure and volume stays the same

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

Where P1 = 1.105 Pa is the atmospheric pressure, V_1 is the air volume in the bucket on the suface:

V_1 = Ah

As the pressure increases, the air inside the bucket shrinks. But the crossection area stays constant, so only h, the height of air, decreases:

P_1Ah_1 = P_2Ah_2

h_2 = h_1\frac{P_1}{P_2} = 0.36\frac{1.105}{200000} = 0.000002 m

b) If the temperatures changes, we can still reuse the ideal gas equation above:

\frac{P_1Ah_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2Ah_2}{T_2}

h_2 = h_1\frac{P_1T_2}{P_2T_1} = 0.36\frac{1.105 * 275}{200000*300} =0.00000182 m

Suppose the foreman had released the box from rest at a height of 0.25 m above the ground. What would the crate's speed be when
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

v = 2.21 m/s

Explanation:

The foreman had released the box from rest at a height of 0.25 m above the ground.

We need to find the speed of the crate when it reaches the bottom of the ramp. Let v is the velocity at the bottom of the ramp. It can be calculated using conservation of energy as follows :

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\v=\sqrt{2gh} \\\\v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 0.25} \\\\v=2.21\ m/s

So, its velocity at the bottom of the ramp is 2.21 m/s.

If the volume of an object is reported as 5.0 ft3 what is the volume in cubic meters
12345 [234]
The problem statement is simply asking us to convert units. We convert from units of ft^3 to units of m^3. To do this, we need a conversion factor. For this case, we use 1 m is equal to 3.28084 ft. We do as follows:

5.0 ft^3 ( 1 m / 3.28084 ft )^3 = 0.1416 m^3

The current supplied by a battery slowly decreases as the battery runs down. Suppose that the current as a function of time is:
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer: 8.1 x 10^24

Explanation:

I(t) = (0.6 A) e^(-t/6 hr)

I'll leave out units for neatness: I(t) = 0.6e^(-t/6)

If t is in seconds then since 1hr = 3600s: I(t) = 0.6e^(-t/(6 x 3600) ).

For neatness let k = 1/(6x3600) = 4.63x10^-5, then:

I(t) = 0.6e^(-kt)

Providing t is in seconds, total charge Q in coulombs is

Q= ∫ I(t).dt evaluated from t=0 to t=∞.

Q = ∫(0.6e^(-kt)

= (0.6/-k)e^(-kt) evaluated from t=0 to t=∞.

= -(0.6/k)[e^-∞ - e^-0]

= -0.6/k[0 - 1]

= 0.6/k

= 0.6/(4.63x10^-5)

= 12958 C

Since the magnitude of the charge on an electron = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹ C, the number of electrons is 12958/(1.6x10^-19) = 8.1x10^24 to two significant figures.
