Answer:

The wire meet the ground at an angle of 56.4 degrees

Explanation:

It is given that,

To support a tree damaged in a storm, a 12-foot wire is secured from the ground to the tree at a point 10 feet off the ground.

The hypotenuse is, H = 12 foot

The perpendicular distance is, P = 10 feet

The angle between the tree and the ground is 90 degrees

Using Pythagoras theorem as :

$sin\theta=\dfrac{P}{H}$

$sin\theta=\dfrac{10}{12}$

$\theta=56.4^{\circ}$

So, the wire meet the ground at an angle of 56.4 degrees. Hence, the correct option is (d).

The seismic activity density of a region is the ratio of the number of earthquakes during a given time span to the land area aff

Natalija [7]

Answer:

0.0059

Explanation:

According to the question the seismic activity density is given by

$\text{Seismic activity density}=\frac{\text{Number of Earthquakes over a given time span}}{\text{The land area affected}}$

Here,

Number of Earthquakes over a given time span = 424

The land area affected = 71300 mi²

So,

$\text{Seismic activity density}=\frac{424}{71300}\\\Rightarrow \text{Seismic activity density}=0.0059$

The seismic activity density is 0.0059

An object’s velocity is measured to be vx(t) = α - βt2, where α = 4.00 m/s and β = 2.00 m/s3. At t = 0 the object is at x = 0. (

Leona [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

$v_x(t)=\alpha -\beta t^2$

$\alpha =4\ m/s$

$\beta =2\ m/s^3$

$v_x(t)=4-2t^2$

$v=\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$\int dx=\int \left ( 4-2t^2\right )dt$

$x=4t-\frac{2}{3}t^3$

acceleration of object

$a=\frac{\mathrm{d} v}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$a=-4t$

(b)For maximum positive displacement velocity must be zero at that instant

i.e. $v=0$

$4-2t^2=0$

$t=\pm \sqrt{2}$

substitute the value of t

$x=4\times \sqrt{2}-\frac{2}{3}\times 2\sqrt{2}$

$x=3.77\ m$

A 1-m-long monopole car radio antenna operates in the AM frequency of 1.5 MHz. How muchcurrent is required to transmit 4 W of po

Zanzabum

Answer:

The current needed to transmit Power of 4 W is 28.47 A

Solution:

As per the question:

Length of the antenna, $L_{a} = 1 m$

Frequency, $\vartheta = 1.5 MHz = 1.5\times 10^{6} Hz$

Power transmitted, $P_{t} = 4 W$

Now,

For a monopole antenna:

$\lambda_{a} = \frac{c}{\vartheta}$

where

$\lambda_{a}$ = wavelength transmitted by the antenna

c = speed of light in vacuum

$\lambda_{a} = \frac{3\times 10^{8}}{1.5\times 10^{6}} = 200 m$

Now,

Since, the value of $\lambda_{a}$ >> $L_{a}$ thus the monopole is a Hertian monopole.

The resistance is calculated as:

$R = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{dL_{a}}{\lambda_{a}})^{2}\times 80\pi^{2}$

$R = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{1}{200)^{2}\times 80\pi^{2} = 9.869\times 10^{- 3} = 9.869 m\Omega$

$P_{radiated} = P_{t}$

$P_{radiated} = \frac{R}{I^{2}}$

Now, the current I is given by:

$I = \sqrt{\frac{2P_{t}}{R}} = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 4}{9.869\times 10^{- 3}}} = 28.47 A$

The robot arm is elevating and extending simultaneously. At a given instant, θ = 30°, ˙ θ = 10 deg / s = constant θ˙=10 deg/s=co

motikmotik

Explanation:

The position vector r:

$\overrightarrow{r(t)}=lcos\theta\hat{i}+lsin\theta\hat{j}$

The velocity vector v:

$\overrightarrow{v(t)}=\overrightarrow{\frac{dr}{dt}}=\dot{l}cos\theta-lsin\theta\dot{\theta}\hat{i}+\dot{l}sin\theta+lcos\theta\dot{\theta}\hat{j}$

The acceleration vector a:

$\overrightarrow{a(t)}}=cos\theta(\ddot{l}-l\dot{\theta}^2)-sin\theta(2\dot{l}\dot{\theta}+l\ddot{\theta})\hat{i}+cos\theta(2\dot{l}\dot{\theta}+l\ddot{\theta})+sin\theta(\ddot{l}-l\dot{\theta}^2)\hat{j}$

$\overrightarrow{v(t)}=0.13\hat{i}+0.18\hat{j}$

$\overrightarrow{a(t)}}=-0.3\hat{i}-0.1\hat{j}$
