Iteru [2.4K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x=65.55m

Explanation:

Let x be the distance to the shore

From trigonometry properties:

tan(40^{o} )=\frac{55m}{x} \\x=\frac{55m}{tan(40^{o} )} \\x=65.55m

Over 4 seconds, a car's momentum decreases by 1000 kg m/s how much force did it take to make this happen?
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

250N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Time  = 4s

Momentum  = 1000kgm/s

Unknown:

Force  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use Newton's second law of motion;

      Ft  = Momentum

F is the force

t is the time

So;

          F x 4 = 1000kgm/s

          F  = 250N

A spaceship is traveling toward Earth while giving off a constant radio signal with a wavelength of 1 meter (m). What will the s
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Less than 1 m

Explanation:

When objects are getting closer to each other there is a slight change in the wavelength that is being transmitted by either objects. This is known as the blue shift of waves. Here, the wavelength reduces.

In the opposite case the when objects are getting farther from each other there is a slight change in the wavelength that is being transmitted by either objects. This is known as the red shift. Here, the wavelength increases.

In this case the spaceship is getting close to Earth hence the wavelength will be lower than 1 m.

when a circular plate of metal is heated in an oven, its radius increases at .03 cm/min, at what rate is the area increasing whe
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Rate of change of area will be 9.796cm^2/min

Explanation:

We have given rate of change of radius \frac{dr}{dt}=0.03cm/min

Radius of the circular plate r = 52 cm

Area is given by A=\pi r^2

So \frac{dA}{dt}=2\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}

Puting the value of r and \frac{dr}{dt}

\frac{dA}{dt}=2\times 3.14\times 52\times 0.03=9.796cm^2/min

So rate of change of area will be 9.796cm^2/min
