Answer:

\frac{dx}{dt} = 10 ft/s

Explanation:

As per given figure let say the tip of the shadow is at distance "x" from the base of the lamp

so here we have

\frac{x}{15} = \frac{x - y}{6}

so we have

6x = 15 x - 15 y

15 y = 9 x

now we have

5\frac{dy}{dt} = 2\frac{dx}{dt}

5(4) = 2\frac{dx}{dt}

\frac{dx}{dt} = 10 ft/s

What does Newton's 2nd Law explain?
kow [346]

Answer:

C. Why you must push harder to move a car farther.

Explanation:

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of a physical object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the physical object and inversely proportional to its mass.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Acceleration = \frac {Force}{mass}

Hence, Newton's 2nd Law explains why you must push harder to move a car farther because of its mass. Thus, it is important to increase the force that the engine provides and decrease the mass of the car.

A water bath in a physical chemistry lab is 1.55 m long, 0.710 m wide, and 0.570 m deep (high). If it is filled to within 3.55 i
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

528 liter.

Explanation:

Volume of the tank(cuboid) = l*b*h

But volume of the water = l*b*h

Where

l= length of the tank

b = width of the tank

h = the length from the bottom of the tank,

3.55 in to m,

0.09017m

Length of the water in the tank = 0.570 - 0.09017

= 0.47983 m.

Volume = 0.47983*0.710*1.55

= 0.528 m3.

1 m3 = 1000 liter.

0.528 m3 = 0.528*1000

= 528 liter

I which types of galaxy are globular clusters most likely to be found?
NemiM [27]
Globular clusters are very tightly bound by gravity, which gives them their spherical shapes and relatively high stellar densities toward their centers. The name of this category of star cluster is derived from the Latin globulus—a small sphere.
