Answer:

Cape Point lighthouse

Explanation:

The lighthouse is located South of Cape Town, at a point where boats turn to go around the tip of Africa.

The new lighthouse has the most powerful light of all the lighthouses in South Africa, with a power of 10 megacandelas. That's why it's being visible for up to 63 km around.

It's a very important lighthouse helping to conduct the traffic around dangerous waters where 2 oceans meet.

A truck is carrying a refrigerator as shown in the figure. The height of the refrigerator is 158.0 cm, the width is 60.0 cm. The

Arada [10]

The maximum acceleration the truck can have so that the refrigerator does not tip over is 4.15 m/s².

<h3>What will be the maximum acceleration of the truck to avoid tipping over?</h3>

The maximum acceleration is obtained by taking clockwise moments about the tipping point of rotation.

Clockwise moment = Anticlockwise moment

Ft * 1.58 m = F * 0.67 m

where

Ft is tipping force = mass * acceleration, a
F is weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity, g

m * a * 1.58 = m * 9.81 * 0.67

a = 4.15 m/s²

The maximum acceleration the truck can have so that the refrigerator does not tip over is 4.15 m/s².

In conclusion, the acceleration of the truck is found by taking moments about the tipping point.

A hiker determines the length of a lake by listening for the echo of her shout reflected by a cliff at the far end of the lake.

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

L = 499 m

Explanation:

If we assume that the speed of sound is constant, that travels along a straight line, and that the echo is instantaneous, we can find the total distance travelled by the sound, as follows, just applying the definition of average velocity:

$\Delta x = v_{s} * t = 343 m/s* 2.91 s = 998 m$

If we assume that the time needed to reach to the cliff, is the same used for the return travel, the length of the lake will be exactly half of the total distance calculated:

$l_{lake} = \frac{\Delta x}{2} = \frac{998m}{2} = 499 m$

The length of the lake is 499 m.
