A ladder placed up against a wall is sliding down. The distance between the top of the ladder and the foot of the wall is decrea

sing at a rate of 9 inches per second. When this distance is 61 inches, how fast is the distance between the bottom of the ladder and the foot of the wall changing? The ladder is 152 inches long. (Do not include units in your answer, and round to the nearest hundredth.)

Answer:

distance changing at rate of 3.94 inches/sec

Explanation:

Given data

wall decreasing at a rate = 9 inches per second

ladder L = 152 inches

distance  h = 61 inches

to find out

how fast is the distance changing

solution

we know that

h² + b² = L²   ..................1

h² + b² = 152²

Apply here derivative w.r.t. time

2h dh/dt + 2b db/dt = 0

h dh/dt + b db/dt = 0

db/dt = - h/b × dh/dt     .............2

and

we know

h = 61

so h² + b² = L²

61² + b² = 152²

b² = 19383

so b = 139.223

and we know dh/dt = -9 inch/sec

so from equation 2

db/dt = -61/139.223  (-9)

so

db/dt = 3.94 inches/sec

distance changing at rate of 3.94 inches/sec

A 10kg rocket is traveling at 80 m/s when the booster engine applies a constant forward force of 60 N for 3.0 seconds. What impu
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Impulse = 90

Resulting Velocity = 89

Explanation:

Use F * change in time = m * change in velocity.

For the first part of the question, the left side of the equation is the impulse. Plug it in.

60 * (3.0 - 0) = 90.

For the second half. we use all parts of the equation. I'm gonna use vf for the final velocity.

60 * (3.0 - 0) = 10 * (vf - 80). Simplify.

90 = 10vf - 800. Simplify again.

890 = 10vf. Divide to simplify and get the answer.

The resulting velocity is 89.

if m represents mass in kg, v represents speed in m/s, and r represents radius in m, show that the force F in the equation F=mv^
Zarrin [17]
This approach is called the dimensional analysis which involves only the units of measurement without their magnitudes. You simply have to do the operations by using variables. Cancel out like items that may appear both in the numerator and denominator side. The solution is as follows:

F = mv²/r = [kg][m/s]²/[m] = [kg][m²⁻¹][1/s²] = [kg·m/s²]

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Exploratory

Explanation:

<u>Focus groups</u>

It is a small group of 8-12 respondents guided by a moderator through a thorough debate on a specific subject or idea.It's great for generation of ideas, brainstorming, insight into motives, attitudes, and perceptions. it can  show likes, dislikes,emotional requirements and prejudices.

Exploratory methods are used to gain initial insights that could pave the way for further investigation.

Some of the exploratory methods are focus groups, Key informant,case studies,secondary data and observational data.

A 60 kg student in a rowboat on a still lake decides to dive off the back of the boat. The studen'ts horizontal aceleration is 2
TiliK225 [7]
As per the third law of Newton, the force exerted by the boat over the student is equal in magnitude to the force that the student exerted on the boat.

So, calculate the force on the student using the second law of Newton, Force = mass * acceleration.

Force on the student = 60 kg * 2.0 m/s^2 = 120 N.

=> horizontal force exerted by the student on the boat = 120 N

Answer: option d. 120 N. toward the back of the boat.

Of course it is toward the back because that is where the student jumped from..

skelet666 [1.2K]
Such information is valid when A. it is not biased.
There is no bias in science - the results are either correct or incorrect; personal opinions have nothing to do with that. B is incorrect because the point of experiments is that they can be repeated to achieve the same results. C and D are likewise incorrect as primary sources are important, and you can share the results with others if you want to.
