One species of eucalyptus tree, Eucalyptus regnans, grow to heights similar to those attained by California redwoods. Suppose a

bird sitting on top of one specimen of eucalyptus tree drops a nut that is 1.7 ounces. If the speed of the falling nut at the moment it is 50.3 m above the ground is 42.7 m/s, how tall is the tree

Answer:

The tree is 143.325 meters tall

Explanation:

The given parameters of the eucalyptus tree are;

The mass of the eucalyptus tree nut = 1.7 ounces

The speed of the nut at 50.3 m above the ground, v = 42.7 m/s

The equation for free fall is given as follows;

v² = 2·g·h

Where;

v = The velocity after falling through a height, h

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = The height through which the seed has already fallen

Therefore, we have;

h = v²/(2·g) = (42.7 m/s)²/(2 × 9.8 m/s²) = 93.025 m

The height through which the seed has already fallen, h = 93.025 m

The height of the tree = h + The height of the seed above ground at the moment it was falling at 42.7 m/s

The height of the tree = 93.025 m + 50.3 m = 143.325 m

The height of the tree = 143.325 m.

Pamela drove her car 999999 kilometers and used 999 liters of fuel. she wants to know how many kilometers (k)(k)left parenthesis
Vanyuwa [196]
When the relationship between two variables are said to be proportional, it means that one variable is a constant multiple of the other variable. They are related by a constant of proportionality, usually denoted as k. 

In this problem, the dependent variable is the distance in kilometers. Your mileage is limited with the amount of fuel you have. Thus, the independent variable is the liters of fuel. When these two are proportional, it could be expressed as

distance = k * liters of fuel, such that 
distance/liters of fuel = k

By variation,

distance,1/liters of fuel,1 = distance,2/liters of fuel,2, where 1 denotes situation 1 and 2 denotes situation 2. Therefore,

 999999 km /<span>999 liters =  x km /</span><span>121212 liters, where x is the unknown distance. We can now therefore find the value of x.

x = (999999*121212)/999
x = 121333212 kilometers</span>

Dylan has two cubes of iron. The larger cube has twice the mass of the smaller cube. He measures the smaller cube. Its mass is 2
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

The volume of the larger cube is 5.08 g/cm³.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of smaller cube = 20 g

Density of smaller cube \rho= 7.87 g/cm^2

Dylan has two cubes of iron.

The larger cube has twice the mass of the smaller cube.

M_{l}=2m_{s}

Density is same for both cubes because both cubes are same material.

The density is equal to the mass divided by the volume.

\rho=\dfrac{m}{V}

V=\dfrac{m}{\rho}

Where, V = volume

m = mass

\rho=density

We need to calculate the volume of smaller mass

The volume of smaller mass

V_{s}=\dfrac{m_{s}}{\rho_{s}}

V_{s}=\dfrac{20}{7.87}

V_{s}=2.54\ cm^3

Now, We need to calculate the volume of large cube

V_{l}=\dfrac{m_{l}}{\rho_{l}}

V_{l}=\dfrac{2\times20}{7.87}

V_{l}=5.08\ g/cm^3

Hence, The volume of the larger cube is 5.08 g/cm³.
