A projector is placed on the ground 22 ft. away from a projector screen. A 5.2 ft. tall person is walking toward the screen at a

rate of 3 ft./sec. How fast is the height of the person's shadow changing when the person is 13 ft. from the projector

Answer:

y = 67.6 feet,   y = 114.4/ (22 - 3t)

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use that light travels in a straight line and some trigonometric relationships, the symbols are in the attached diagram

Large triangle Projector up to the screen

         tan θ = y / L

For the small triangle. Projector up to the person

         tan θ = y₀ / (L-d)

The angle is the same, so we equate the two equations

         y₀ / (L -d) = y / L

         y = y₀  L / (L-d)

The distance from the screen (d), we look for it with kinematics

         v = d / t

        d = v t

we replace

         y = y₀ L / (L - v t)

         y = 5.2 22 / (22 - 3 t)

         y = 114.4 (22 - 3t)⁻¹

This is the equation of the shadow height change as a function of time

For the suggested distance the shadow has a height of

           y = 114.4 / (22-13)

           y = 67.6 feet

Many things can affect a material's resistance, The type of material, how the material is being held (If its laying flat, being pulled, etc). What the material is used for, and how much material there is. Hope this helps!

In the diagram, the arrow shows the movement of electric charges through a wire connected to a battery.
solong [7]

Due to difference in electric potential.

<h3>What is Potential difference?</h3>

The amount of work in an electrical field to move a unit charge from one place to another is known as the electrical potential difference.

Here , the potential difference is the difference in electric potential between two charged substances.

Current is the flow of charges from one end end to another end of a conducting wire connected across a two terminals of a battery.

The potential difference is [provided by the battery across the two terminals due which the charges flow.

Current flow is from positive to negative terminals, indicating the movement of positive charges in that direction.

Hence , potential difference causes the electric charges to flow from one end of the battery .

The AC voltage source is connected to an inductor and a resistor in series. If the frequency of the source is increased the curr
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

If the frequency of the source is increased the current in the circuit will decrease.

Explanation:

The current through the circuit is given as;

I = \frac{V}{Z}

Where;

V is the voltage in the AC circuit

Z is the impedance

Z = \sqrt{R^2 + X_L^2}

Where;

R is the resistance

X_L is the inductive reactance

X_L = ωL = 2πfL

where;

L is the inductance

f is the frequency of the source

Finally, the current in the circuit is given as;

I = \frac{V}{\sqrt{R^2 + (2\pi fL)^2} }

From the equation above, an increase in frequency (f) will cause a decrease in current (I).

Therefore, If the frequency of the source is increased the current in the circuit will decrease.
