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

If someone throws a 3 gram fry accelerating at 5 meter/second2, what is the fry’s force?
Alex

Answer:

0.015 m/s2

Explanation:

Using Newtons 2nd law.

F = ma where F = Force applied, m = mass of the object and a = acceleration acquired.

So substitute the values in SI units.

m = \frac{3}{1000} kg

Therefore F = 0.003×5 = 0.015 m/s2

A damped mass/spring system takes 14.0 s for its amplitude of the oscillator to decrease by a factor of 9. By what factor does t
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

The correct answer is "0.246".

Explanation:

Given that the amplitude is decreased by a factor of 9, then

A \rightarrow (A-\frac{A}{9} )

A \rightarrow \frac{8A}{9}

As we know,

Energy will be:

⇒  E_{1}=\frac{1}{2}KA^2

and,

⇒  E_{2}=\frac{1}{2}K(\frac{8A}{9} )^2

          =\frac{64KA^2}{162}

⇒  \Delta E=E_1-E_2

On putting the estimated values, we get

           =\frac{1}{2}KA^2-\frac{64KA^2}{162}

⇒  \frac{\Delta E}{E}=\frac{\frac{20}{162}KA^2}{\frac{1}{2}KA^2}

          =\frac{40}{162}

          =0.246

1.When you give one set of washers a downward push, does it move as easily as the other set? Does it stop before it reaches the
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:No, it doesn't move easily downward because it will try to resist the movement ,due to a resistance force of inertia that it possess at rest.

Explanation:when an object has higher or larger mass it tends to resist any motion given to it unlike the one with lower mass.

The larger the mass the more resistance force an object has.
