Kendra is flying a kite 35 feet in the air. The angle of depression from the kite to where Kendra holds the string is . If Kendra holds the string 3 feet off the ground, what is the distance from her hands to the kite? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

The distance from her hands to the kite is 60.4 feet.

Explanation:

Given that,

Kendra holds the string from the ground = 3 feet

Distance of kite from the ground = 35 feet

Suppose the angle is 32°.

According to the figure,

We need to calculate the distance from her hands to the kite

Using formula of angle

Put the value into the formula

Hence, The distance from her hands to the kite is 60.4 feet.

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
