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

Good work on solving part a).
b) may look complicated, but it's not too bad.

It says that the body is 25% efficient in converting fat to mechanical energy.
In other words, only 25% of the energy we get from our stored fat shows up
in the physical, mechanical moving around that we do.  (The rest becomes
heat, which dissipates into the environment as we keep our bodies warm,
breathe hot air out,and perspire.)

You already know how much mechanical energy the climber needed to lift
himself to the top of the mountain... 2.4x10⁶ joules.
That's 25% of what he needs to convert in order to accomplish the climb.
He needs to pull 4 times as much energy out of fat.

-- Fat energy required = 4 x (2.4 x 10⁶) = 9.6 x 10⁶ joules.

-- Amount stored in 1kg of fat = 3.8 x 10⁷ joules

-- Portion of a kilogram he needs to use =   (9.6 x 10⁶) / (3.8 x 10⁷)

Note:
That much of a kilogram weighs about 8.9 ounces ... which shows why it's so
hard to lose weight with physical exercise alone.  It also helps you appreciate
that fat is much more efficient at storing energy than batteries are ... that one
kilogram of fat stores the amount of energy used by a 100-watt light bulb, to
burn for 105 hours (more than 4-1/2 days ! ! !)

Two convex thin lenses with focal lengths 10.0 cm and 20.0 cm are aligned on a common axis, running left to right, the 10-cm len
love history [14]

Answer:

(c) +6.67

Explanation:

f1 = 10 cm

f2 = 20 cm

u = Object distance = 15 cm

Distance between lenses = 20 cm

For first lens image distance

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{10}-\frac{1}{15}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{30}\\\Rightarrow v=30\ cm

Distance from second lens is 10 cm to the right

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{20}-\frac{1}{-10}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}=\frac{3}{20}\\\Rightarrow v=6.67\ cm

The final image will appear as +6.67 cm

Un tubo de acero de 40000 kilómetros forma un anillo que se ajusta bien a la circunferencia de la tierra. Imagine que las person
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

82.76m

Explanation:

In order to find the distance of the steel ring to the ground, when its temperature has raised by 1°C, you first calculate the radius of the steel tube before its temperature increases.

You use the formula for the circumference of the steel ring:

C=2\pi r    (1)

C: circumference of the ring = 40000 km = 4*10^7m (you assume the circumference is the length of the steel tube)

you solve for r in the equation (1):

r=\frac{C}{2\pi}=\frac{4*10^7m}{2\pi}=6,366,197.724m

Next, you use the following formula to calculate the change in the length of the tube, when its temperature increases by 1°C:

L=Lo[1+\alpha \Delta T]         (2)

L: final length of the tube = ?

Lo: initial length of the tube = 4*10^7m

ΔT = change in the temperature of the steel tube = 1°C

α: thermal coefficient expansion of steel = 13*10^-6 /°C

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (2):

L=(4*10^7m)(1+(13*10^{-6}/ \°C)(1\°C))=40,000,520m

With the new length of the tube, you can calculate the radius of a ring formed with the tube. You again solve the equation (1) for r:

r'=\frac{C}{2\pi}=\frac{40,000,520m}{2\pi}=6,366,280.484m

Finally, you compare both r and r' radius:

r' - r = 6,366,280.484m - 6,366,197.724m = 82.76m

Hence, the distance to the ring from the ground is 82.76m

A girl rolls a ball up an incline and allows it to return to her. For the angle ! and ball involved, the acceleration of the bal
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

The distance the ball moves up the incline before reversing its direction is 3.2653 m.

The total time required for the ball to return to the child’s hand is 3.2654 s.

Explanation:

When the girl is moving up:

The final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Initial velocity (u) = 4 m/s

a = -0.25g = -0.25*9.8 = -2.45 m/s². (Negative because it is in opposite of the velocity and also it deaccelerates while going up).

Let time be t  to reach the top.

Using

v = u + a×t

0 = 4 - 2.45*t

t = 1.6327 s

Since, this is the same time the ball will come back. So,

<u>Total time to go and come back = 2* 1.6327 = 3.2654 s </u>

To find the distance, using:

v² = u² + 2×a×s

0² = 4² + 2×(-2.45)×s

s = 3.2653 m

<u>Thus, the distance the ball moves up the incline before reversing its direction is 3.2653 m.</u>
