Keisha looks out the window from a tall building at her friend Monique standing on the ground, 8.3 m away from the side of the b

uilding, as shown. If Keisha's line of sight makes a 30° angle with the side of the building, what is Keisha's height above the ground? Assume Monique is 1.5 m tall. A. 14 m B. 15 m C. 16 m D. 17 m

Answer:

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

Distance between keisha and her friend 8.3 m

angle made by keisha toside building 30 degree

height of her friend monique is 1.5 m

from the figure

$\Delta ACB$

$tan 30 = \frac{8.3}{h}$

$h= \frac{8.3}{tan 30} = 14.376 m$

therefore

height of keisha is $= h + 1.5 m$

= 14.376 + 1.5

$= 15.876 \simeq 16 m$

therefore option c is correct

The filament in the bulb is moving back and forth, first pushed one way and then the other. What does this imply about the curre

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

energy carried by the current is given by the pointyng vector

Explanation:

The current is defined by

i = dQ / dt

this is the number of charges per unit area over time.

The movement of the charge carriers (electrons) is governed by the applied potential difference, when the filament has a movement the drag speed of these moving electrons should change slightly.

But the energy carried by the current is given by the pointyng vector of the electromagnetic wave

S = 1 / μ₀ EX B

It moves at the speed of light and its speed depends on the properties of the doctor and is not disturbed by small changes in speed, therefore the current in the circuit does not change due to this movement

The famous cliff divers of Acapulco leap from a perch 35 m above the ocean. How fast are they moving when they reach the surface

Rus_ich [418]

1) 26.2 m/s

The mechanical energy of the divers at any point of their vertical motion is sum of the kinetic energy and the gravitational potential energy:

$E=K+U = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + mgh$

where

m is the mass of the diver

v is the speed

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height above the water

When the diver is on the cliff, v = 0 (he is at rest), so K=0 and the initial mechanical energy is just potential energy:

$E_i = mgh$

where h=35 m is the height of the cliff.

When the diver hits the water above, h = 0, so U=0 and the final mechanical energy is just kinetic energy:

$E_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

since the total mechanical energy is conserved, we have

$E_i = E_f\\mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

And solving the equation for v, we find the speed when they reach the surface of the water:

$v=\sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{2(9.8 m/s^2)(35 m)}=26.2 m/s$

2) It is converted into thermal energy of the water

When the diver enters the water, he suddenly feels another force acting against the motion of the diver: the resistance of the water. The resistance of the water acts upward, slowing down the diver until he stops.

In this process, the speed of the diver (v) decreases, and therefore the kinetic energy of the diver decreases as well, until it becomes zero.

However, this does not mean that the conservation of energy has been violated. In fact, the kinetic energy of the diver has been converted into thermal energy of the molecules of water surrounding the diver.

What frequency is received by a person watching an oncoming ambulance moving at 110 km/h and emitting a steady 800-Hz sound from

Strike441 [17]

To develop this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler effect. The frequency of sound perceive by observer changes from source emitting the sound. The frequency received by observer $f_{obs}$ is more than the frequency emitted by the source. The expression to find the frequency received by the person is,

$f_{obs} = f_s (\frac{v_w}{v_w-v_s})$

$f_s$ = Frequency of the source

$v_w$ = Speed of sound

$v_s$ = Speed of source

The velocity of the ambulance is

$v_s = 119km/h (\frac{1000m}{1km})(\frac{1h}{3600s})$

$v_s = 30.55m/s$

Replacing at the expression to frequency of observer we have,

$f_{obs} = 800Hz(\frac{345m/s}{345m/s-30.55m/s})$

$f_{obs} = 878Hz$

Therefore the frequency receive by observer is 878Hz

Mateo drew the field lines around the ends of two bar magnets but forgot to label the direction of the lines with arrows. At lef

Sladkaya [172]

Question:

Mateo drew the field lines around the ends of two bar magnets but forgot to label the direction of the lines with arrows. In which direction should an arrow at position 1 point?

left

right

up

down

Answer:

The correct answer is

Left

Explanation:

Magnetic circuits describe the path of a magnetic flux. In the same way electricity follows a complete closed circuit, the path of a magnetic flux is also a complete and closed circuit which leaves from the N pole, migrates through the air and reenters the magnet through the S pole through which it passes back into the magnet to come to the N pole again.

As such the magnetic field lines emanate from the N pole which is on he right to the S pole which is on the left. Hence the arrow should point in the left direction.

A 100-N force causes an object to<br> accelerate at 2 m/s/s. What is the<br> mass of the object?

Kitty [74]

Answer:

$50\; \rm kg$ .

Explanation:

By Newton's Second Law, the acceleration $a$ of an object is proportional to the net force $\sum F$ on it. In particular, if the mass of the object is $m$ , then

$\sum F = m \cdot a$ .

Rewrite this equation to obtain:

$\displaystyle m = \frac{\sum F}{a}$ .

In this case, the assumption is that the $100\; \rm N$ force is the only force that is acting on the object. Hence, the net force $\sum F$ on the object would also be

Make sure that all values are in their standard units. Forces should be in Newtons (same as $\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-2}$ , and the acceleration of the object should be in meters-per-second-squared ( $\rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ ). Apply the equation $\displaystyle m = \frac{\sum F}{a}$ to find the mass of the object.

$\displaystyle m = \frac{100\; \rm N}{2\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}} = 50\; \rm kg$ .
