Awoman measures the angle of elevation of a mountaintop as 12.0°. after walking 1.00 km closer to the mountain on level ground, she fi nds the angle to be 14.0°. (a) draw a picture of the problem, neglecting the height of the woman's eyes above the ground. hint: use two triangles. (b) select variable names for the mountain height (suggestion: y) and the woman’s original distance from the mountain (suggestion: x) and label the picture. (c) using the labeled picture and the tangent function, write two trigonometric equations relating the two selected variables. (d) find the height y of the mountain by fi rst solving one equation for x and substituting the result into the other equation.

Asolid cylinder and a cylindrical shell have the same mass, same radius, and turn on frictionless, horizontal axles. the cylindrical shell has light-weight spokes connecting the shell to the axle. a rope is wrapped around each cylinder and tied to blocks of equal masses that are held the same height above the ground. both blocks are released simultaneously. the ropes do not slip. which block hits the ground first? or is it a tie?

Amichelson interferometer operating at a 600 nm wavelength has a 3.02-cm-long glass cell in one arm. to begin, the air is pumped out of the cell and mirror m2 is adjusted to produce a bright spot at the center of the interference pattern. then a valve is opened and air is slowly admitted into the cell. the index of refraction of air at 1.00 atm pressure is 1.00028.how many bright-dark-bright fringe shifts are observed as the cell fills with air?
