For a typical human height of 2 meter what is the horizon distance on earth (r=6378) (b mars R=3,340

Answers

Answer 1

The horizon's distance for a typical human being (2 m height) for earth is 5 km, for mars it is 3.7 km, for moon its 2.6 km, and for Diemos it is 0.15 km (all calculations approx).

What is Pythagoras Theorem?

If ABC is a triangle with AC as the hypotenuse and angle B with 90 degrees then we have:

[tex]|AC|^2 = |AB|^2 + |BC|^2[/tex]

where |AB| = length of line segment AB. (AB and BC are rest of the two sides of that triangle ABC, AC being the hypotenuse).

The complete question is:

" For a typical human height of 2 meters, what is the horizon distance on A) Earth (R=6378 km); B) Mars ( 3,374 km); C) The Moon ( 1,738 km); Mars' moon Diemos ( 6 km) "

Radius touching the line which passes touching the circle (tangent) is perpendicular(to 90°) to it.

Consider the diagram attached below:

The distance D is the distance of horizon from the eyesight of viewer.

The value of h is the height of the observer.

For the triangle ABC, the length of the hypotenuse is: h + R

Other two sides which are mutually perpendicular are of length R and D.

Thus, by using Pythagoras theorem, we get:

[tex]R^2 + D^2 = (h+R)^2\\D = \sqrt{h^2 + R^2 + 2hR -R^2}\\\\D = \sqrt{h^2 + 2hR}\\[/tex]

(positive root as D is representing length, a non-negative quantity).

We're given h = 2, so we get:

[tex]D = \sqrt{4+4R} = 2\sqrt{1+R} \: \rm m[/tex]

A) Earth (R=6378 km);

6378 km = 6378000 m

[tex]D = 2\sqrt{6379001} \approx 5051 \: \rm m \approx 5 \: km[/tex]

B) Mars ( 3,374 km);

3374 km = 3374000 m

[tex]D = 2\sqrt{3374001} \approx 3674 \: \rm m \approx 3.7 \: km[/tex]

C) The Moon ( 1,738 km);

1738 km = 1738000 m

[tex]D = 2\sqrt{1738001} \approx 2637 \: \rm m \approx 2.6 \: km[/tex]

D)Mars' moon Diemos ( 6 km)

6 km = 6000 m

[tex]D = 2\sqrt{6001} = 154.93 \: \rm m \approx 0.15 \: km[/tex]

Thus, the horizon's distance for a typical human being (2 m height) for earth is 5 km, for mars it is 3.7 km, for moon its 2.6 km, and for Diemos it is 0.15 km (all calculations approx).

A rectangular prism has a volume of 240 cubic feet. If the length is 4 feet and the width is 4 feet, what is the height of
the prism?

Answers

Answer:

Let's use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism;

V = l · w · h

Where 'l' represents the length, 'w' stands for the width, and 'h' displays as the height. (V evidently stands for the volume)

What we know:

Volume = 240 ftLength = 4 ftWidth = 4 ft

What we need to find out:

Height

Let's plug in what we know into the formula:

V = l · w · h

240 = 4 · 4 · h

Now let's solve for h:-

240 = 16 · h

240 = 16h

Get rid of h's co-efficient by dividing 16 from both sides because the inverse operation of multiplication(since 16 is being multiplied by h) is division.

÷16    ÷16

Finally, you would end up with a result of:

15 = h

Hence, the height of this prism is 15 feet.

What is a right angle triangle?

Right angle triangle has one of its angles as 90 degrees. The sides and angles can be found using trigonometric ratios. The sides can also be solved using Pythagoras theorem.

The hypotenuse side is the longest side of a right angle triangle.

Therefore,

c² = a² + b²

c = √20² + 21²

c = √400 + 441

c = √841

c = 29

hypotenuse = 29 units
