The device used to measure wind speed is called an anemometer

well it depends on the wind and gravity and the side the chickens on and the amount of force but if its a simple question then it doesnt roll at all or it rolls forward

A spotlight on the ground shines on a wall 12 m away. If a man 2 m tall walks from the spotlight toward the building at a speed

gregori [183]

Answer:

the rate of the change of the length of the shadow is - 0.8625 m/s.

The negative(-) sign means the length of the shadow decreases at a rate of 0.8625 m/s.

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Let x represent the man's distance from building,

initially x = 1m2

dx/d t= -2.3 m/s

Also Let y represent shadow height

so we determine dy/dt when x is 4m from the building

form the image description of the problem, we see two-like triangles with the same base and height ratios

2 / (12-x) = y / 12

24 = y(12 - x )

y = 24 / (12-x)

dy/dt = 24/(12-x)² × dx/dt

Now at x = 4,

we substitute

dy/dt will be;

⇒ 24/(12 - 4)² × -2.3

= 24/64 - 2.3

= 0.375 × -2.3

dy/dt = - 0.8625 m/s

Therefore, the rate of the change of the length of the shadow is - 0.8625 m/s.

The negative(-) sign means the length of the shadow decreases at a rate of 0.8625 m/s.

You have a rod with a length of 146.4 cm. You prop up one end on a brick which is 3.8 cm thick. Your uncertainty in measuring th

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

$\partial \theta = 0.003$

Explanation:

we know that

$sin\theta = \frac{3.8}{146.4}$

$\theta = sin^{-1} \frac{3.8}{146.4}$

$\theta = 1.484°$

$\theta = 1.484° *\frac{\pi}{180} = 0.0259 radians$

as we see that $sin\theta = \theta$

relative error $\frac{\partial \theta}{\theta} = \frac{\partial X}{X_1} +\frac{\partial X}{X_2}$

Where X_1 IS HEIGHT OF ROCK

$X_2$ IS THE HEIGHT OF ROAD

$\partial X$ = uncertainity in measuring distance

$\partial X = 0.05$

Putting all value to get uncertainity in angle

$\frac{\partial \theta}{0.0259} = \frac{0.05}{3.8} +\frac{0.05}{146.4}$

solving for $\partial \theta$ we get

$\partial \theta = 0.003$

As a laudably skeptical physics student, you want to test Coulomb's law. For this purpose, you set up a measurement in which a p

kherson [118]

Explanation:

The Coulomb's law states that the magnitude of each of the electric forces between two point-at-rest charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitude of both charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them:

$F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}$

In this case we have an electron (-e) and a proton (e), so:

$F=-\frac{ke^2}{d^2}\\F=-\frac{8.99*10^9\frac{N\cdot m^2}{s^2}(1.6*10^{-19}C)^2}{(933*10^{-9}m)^2}\\F=-2.64*10^{-16}N$

In this case, the electric force is negative, therefore, the force is repulsive and its magnitude is:

$F=2.64*10^{-16}N$
