Answer:
(d) 36 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Use your sense of geometry.
The hypotenuse of a right triangle will never be less than the longest side, and will never be greater than 1.5 times the longest side*.
That means the only reasonable answer choices will be between 30 and 45 feet. There is only one such choice.
The measure is about 36 feet.
__
If you like, you can find a more exact value using the Pythagorean theorem. The distance d of interest is ...
d^2 = 20^2 +30^2 = 1300
d = √1300 = 10√13 ≈ 36.0555 ≈ 36 . . . feet
_____
* The longest hypotenuse will be √2 ≈ 1.4142 times the longest right triangle leg when the two legs are equal length.
The answer is -2x^3+10x^2
The object compresses the spring up to 0.8577m.
<h3>What is Potential Energy?</h3>
Potential Energy is the energy possessed by an object at rest.
The object is falling from the rest and it is assumed that the friction on the ramp is zero and the air resistance is also considered to be zero so only the gravitational force acts and the total potential energy gets converted to Kinetic Energy.
The total amount of potential energy at the top of the ramp is given by
Ep=mgh
Ep=3 * 9.81 *5
Ep=147.15 Joules
This is equal to kinetic energy.
From the formula for elastic potential energy
The distance up to which the spring is compressed is determined
The force constant = 400N/m
147.15 =(1/2)k(x²)
294.3=(400)(x²)
0.73575=x²
x=0.8577 m
So, the object compresses the spring up to 0.8577m.
- When the object compresses the spring, the potential energy of the spring is converted into Kinetic Energy so it will push the object back again.

Answer:
x=15√2 y=90 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
Thanks to the Pythagorean Theorem we know that with any right triangle, A^2+B^2=C^2. In this case we can use 15^2+15^2=sqrt of 450. The square root of 450 is 15 times the square root of 2. Thus x=15√2. Now we need to find y. All angles in a triangle add up to 180 so if we have 45+45+y=180 then y=90.
