Answer:

6.93m

Explanation:

Using the method of SOH CAH TOA

The base of the tree is 12m which is the adjacent side of the triangle to be generated, the height of the tree will be facing the angle of elevation and it is the opposite side.

Using the formula tan(theta) = Opposite/Adjacent

Given theta = 30°

Adjacent is 12m which is the distance the tree is making with the shadow on the ground

Opposite side will be the height of the tree.

Tan(theta) = height/12

Tan30° = height/12

Height = 12tan30°

Height = 6.93m

Therefore the height of the tree is 6.93m

Answer:

6.9m

Explanation:

The situation can be represented as follows;

The height of the tree is x;

The shadow which is 12m on the ground has the horizontal component

The angle of elevation Θ is 30°

   |\

   |   \

   |     \

x  |       \

   |         \

   <u>|     30°( \</u>

       12 m

To find x, we apply the trigonometric ratio;

tan Θ = opposite / adjacent   -------------------(i)

where Θ = 30°, opposite = x and adjacent = 12m

<em>Substituting these values into equation (i) gives;</em>

=> tan 30° = x / 12

=> 0.5774 = x / 12

<em>Making x the subject of the formula gives;</em>

x = 0.5774 x 12

x = 6.9288 m

x ≅ 6.9m

<em>Therefore the height of the tree is 6.9m</em>

A certain spring exerts a nonlinear force given by F(x) = −60x − 18x2 , where x is in meters and F is in newtons. A 0.90-kg bloc
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

a)  W = 6.75 J and b) v = 3.87 m / s

Explanation:

a) In the problem the force is nonlinear and they ask us for work, so we must use it's definition

      W = ∫ F. dx

Bold indicates vectors.  In a spring the force is applied in the direction of movement, whereby the scalar product is reduced to the ordinary product

     W = ∫ F dx

We replace and integrate

    W = ∫ (-60 x - 18 x²) dx

    W = -60 x²/2 -18 x³/3

Let's evaluate between the integration limits, lower W = 0 for x = -0.50 m, to the upper limit W = W for x = 0 m

    W = -30 [0- (-0.50) 2] -6 [0 - (- 0.50) 3]

    W = 7.5 - 0.75

    W = 6.75 J

b)  Work is equal to the variation of kinetic energy

    W = ΔK

    W = ΔK = ½ m v² -0

    v =√ 2W/m

    v = √(2 6.75/ 0.90)

    v = 3.87 m / s

A piano string having a mass per unit length of 5.00 g/m is under a tension of 1350 N. Determine the speed of transverse waves i
padilas [110]

Answer:

The speed of transverse waves in this string is 519.61 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass per unit length = 5.00 g/m

Tension = 1350 N

We need to calculate the speed of transverse waves in this string

Using formula of speed of the transverse waves

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}

Where, \mu = mass per unit length

T = tension

Put the value into the formula

v = \sqrt{\dfrac{1350}{5.00\times10^{-3}}}

v =519.61\ m/s

Hence, The speed of transverse waves in this string is 519.61 m/s.
