Suppose that, while lying on a beach near the equator watching the sun set over a calm ocean, you start a stopwatch just as the top of the sun disappears. you then stand, elevating your eyes by a height h=1.70 m, and stop the watch when the top of the sun again disappears. if the elapsed time is t=11.1 s, what is the radius, r of earth from this observation?

Which explanation can be used to informally derive the formula for the volume of a cone? a cylinder is exactly 3 times bigger than a cone with the same height and radius. therefore, the formula for the volume of a cone is 13 of the volume of a cylinder with the same height and radius. a cone is similar to a triangular pyramid except that a cone has curved edges. therefore, the formula for the volume of a cone can be derived by using the formula of a triangular pyramid and using the radius instead of the base length. a cone is approximately the same size as 1.5 spheres. using the formula for the volume of a sphere and multiplying it by 1.5 will give the formula for the volume of a cone. a cone consists of a circle as a base and triangles for its body. the formula for the volume of a cone can be derived by adding the formula for the area of circle and the area of the number of triangles that will cover the body of a cone.

Acar started driving from city a to city b, distance between which is 620 miles, at a rate of 60 mph. two hours later a truck left city b and started moving towards city a at a rate of 40 mph. what distance from city a is the point where the truck and the car will meet?

How does the graph of g(x)=⌊x⌋−3 differ from the graph of f(x)=⌊x⌋? the graph of g(x)=⌊x⌋−3 is the graph of f(x)=⌊x⌋ shifted right 3 units. the graph of g(x)=⌊x⌋−3 is the graph of f(x)=⌊x⌋ shifted up 3 units. the graph of g(x)=⌊x⌋−3 is the graph of f(x)=⌊x⌋ shifted down 3 units. the graph of g(x)=⌊x⌋−3 is the graph of f(x)=⌊x⌋ shifted left 3 units.
