A 5. 3 ft -ft-tall girl stands on level ground. The sun is 30 ∘ above the horizon. How long is her shadow?

1 answer:

8 0

The trigonometric ratios are sine, cosine and tangent. We can use cosine to find the length of the shadow from the calculation as 1.7 ft.

<h3>What is trigonometric ratio?</h3>

The term trigonometric ratio has to do with sine, cosine and tangent which are used to solve problems that involve the right angled triangle.

Using the geometry of the right angle triangle, we can find the tangent of the angle 30 in order to obtain the length of the shadow.

Tan 30° = opp/3

opp = 3Tan 30°

opp = 1.7 ft

The length of the girl's shadow from the calculation is 1.7 ft.

Un autocar que circula a 81 km/h frena uniformemente con una aceleración de -4,5 m/s2.

horsena [70]

Answer:

a) $\Delta x=56.25 m$

b) imagen adjunta

Explanation:

a) Primero debemos hacer la conversión de 81 km/h a m/s, esto es 22.5 m/s.

Ahora, usando la ecuacion cinemática, en un movimiento acelerado tenemos:

$v_{f}^{2}=v_{0}^{2}+2a \Delta x$

Queremos encontrar la posición hasta detenerse, osea vf = 0.

$\Delta x=\frac{-v_{0}^{2}}{2a}$

$\Delta x=\frac{-22.5^{2}}{-2*4.5}$

$\Delta x=56.25 m$

b) Para este caso el gráfico se encuentra adjunto.

Espero que te sirva de ayuda!

If you throw a baseball straight up,What is its velocity at the highest point?

sveta [45]

Answer: 52.

Explanation: Critical Thinking When a ball is thrown vertically up, it keeps going up until it hits a certain position, and then falls down. At the maximum point, the velocity is instantaneously zero.

I may or may not be a nerd lol.

What is the relationship between matter and energy as it changes states of matter (phase changes?)

AlekseyPX

These energy exchanges are not changes in kinetic energy. They are changes in bonding energy between the molecules. If heat is coming into a substance during a phase change, then this energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the substance. The example we will use here is ice melting into water.
