(7) A meter stick is sliding down a wall. (a) When the top of the meter stick is 80cm above the ground, what angle of elevation does it form with the ground? (b) When the bottom of the meter stick is 40cm away from the wall, what angle of elevation does it form with the ground? (c) A mouse who is 5cm tall is sitting underneath the sliding meter stick, against the wall. What will the angle of elevation be when the stick touches the mouse's head?

A room has dimensions 2.71 m (height) × 4.05 m × 6.99 m. A fly starting at one corner flies around, ending up at the diagonally opposite corner. (a) What is the magnitude of its displacement? (b) If the fly walks rather than flies, what is the length of the shortest path it can take? (Hint: This can be answered without calculus. The room is like a box. Unfold its walls to flatten them into a plane.)
Part (A). You are designing the radar system to track the UFOs appearing in the city.In your setup, you have two radars R1 and R2, that are 20 miles from each other. And this happens! Oneday the radars detect a UFO somewhere between them. According to the data provided, the angle ofelevation measured by R1 is 35 degrees. The angle of elevation measured by R2 is 15 degrees. What isthe elevation of the UFO? Round your answer to the nearest thousandth mile. Part (B). Now, one of your radar stations is broken. So you have only one radar. The workingradar suddenly detects another UFO. According to the data provided, the angle of elevation of the UFOfrom some point A on the ground is 60 degrees.After flying 15 seconds horizontally, the angle of elevationchanges to 30 degrees.Also, it is detected by your working radar that the UFO is flying at a speed of 200 m/s,can you find the elevation (height) at which the UFO is flying?Round your answer to the nearest thousandth meter.
Two vectors A and B have precisely equal magni- tudes. For the magnitude of Á + B to be larger than the magnitude of A - B by the factor n, what must be the angle between them?
The London Eye is an amazing structure. Dr. T has seen it in person, but not ridden on it because he fears riding Ferris Wheels. The London Eye is 443 feet tall and sits on the banks of the River Thames. If one is standing on the opposite side of the river, the angle of elevation from the ground to the top of the London Eye is 79◦ . Estimate how wide the River Thames is at the London Eye. (That is, how far is away is that someone standing from the London Eye?) Round your answer to two decimal places. Show work.
