Use the model Electromagnetic Levitation Maglev Train Science The power first used to levitate Maglev trains is electromagnetic force. The Maglev train is 22.0 feet above the ground in Berlin, Germany. The train travels at a velocity of 90 feet above the horizontal. At what height does the planet Earth collide? (Round your velocity to miles per hour and answer to three decimal places) Need help?

As shown in the figure below, a large slide is 60 feet long from start to finish and forms a $20^{\circ}$ angle with the level ground. Given the trigonometric approximations in the table below, what is the height above the ground of the slide entrance, to the nearest 0.1 foot? $$\begin{array}{|l|l|} \hline \cos 20^{\circ} & 0.940 \\ \hline \sin 20^{\circ} & 0.342 \\ \hline \tan 20^{\circ} & 0.364 \\ \hline \end{array}$$ F. 18.8 G. 20.5 H. 21.8 J. 34.7 K. 56.3
