Answer:

Dakota is 48 inches tall.

Explanation:

We can solve this problem using trigonometry. Since the angle between Dakota and the ground is nearly 90°, we can construct a rectangle triangle, whose sides are Dakota, her shadow, and the distance between the top of her head to the tip of her shadow. Let the Dakota's height be D. Since the angle between the sun's rays and the ground is 39° and the distance between the tip of her shadow and Dakota's head is 77 inches, we can state that:

\sin39\°=\frac{D}{77"}\\\\\implies D=77"\sin39\°\\\\D=48"

So, this means that Dakota is 48 inches tall.

The density of nuclear matter is about 1018 kg/m3. Given that 1 mL is equal in volume to 1 cm3, what is the density of nuclear m
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

density is 10^{6} Mg/µL

Explanation:

given data

density of nuclear = 10^{18} kg/m³

1 ml = 1 cm³

to find out

density of nuclear matter in Mg/µL

solution

we know here

1 Mg = 1000 kg

so

1 m³ is equal to 10^{6} cm³

and here 1 cm³ is equal to  1 mL

so we can say 1 mL is equal to 10³ µL

so by these we can convert density

density = 10^{18} kg/m³

density = 10^{18} kg/m³ × \frac{10^{-3} }{10^{6} }  Mg/µL

density =  10^{6} Mg/µL

You are called as an expert witness to analyze the following auto accident: Car B, of mass 2100 kg, was stopped at a red light w
Artemon [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force of friction at car B ( break was applied by car B ) =μ mg = .65 x  2100 X 9.8  = 13377 N .

work done by friction = 13377 x 7.30 = 97652.1 J

If v be the common velocity of both the cars after collision

kinetic energy of both the cars = 1/2 ( 2100 + 1500 ) x v²

= 1800 v²

so , applying work - energy theory ,

1800 v² = 97652.1

v² = 54.25

v = 7.365 m /s

This is the common velocity of both the cars .

To know the speed of car A , we shall apply law of conservation of momentum  .Let the speed of car A before collision be v₁ .

So , momentum before collision = momentum after collision of both the cars

1500 x v₁ = ( 1500 + 2100 ) x 7.365

v₁ = 17.676 m /s

= 63.63 mph .

( b )

yes Car A was crossing speed limit by a difference of

63.63 - 35 = 28.63 mph.

a block of mass m slides along a frictionless track with speed vm. It collides with a stationary block of mass M. Find an expres
shusha [124]

Answer:

Part a) When collision is perfectly inelastic

v_m = \frac{m + M}{m} \sqrt{5Rg}

Part b) When collision is perfectly elastic

v_m = \frac{m + M}{2m}\sqrt{5Rg}

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that collision is perfectly inelastic

so here we will have

mv_m = (m + M)v

so we have

v = \frac{mv_m}{m + M}

now we know that in order to complete the circle we will have

v = \sqrt{5Rg}

\frac{mv_m}{m + M} = \sqrt{5Rg}

now we have

v_m = \frac{m + M}{m} \sqrt{5Rg}

Part b)

Now we know that collision is perfectly elastic

so we will have

v = \frac{2mv_m}{m + M}

now we have

\sqrt{5Rg} = \frac{2mv_m}{m + M}

v_m = \frac{m + M}{2m}\sqrt{5Rg}
