Answer:

Length = 19 feet

Width = 14 feet

Explanation:

The perimeter, P, of a rectangle is given by

$P=2(l+w)$

where l is the length and w is the width.

From the question, the length is 9 feet less than twice the width.

$l=2w-9$

Substitute this in the equation for the perimeter.

$P=2(2w-9+w)$

$P=2(3w-9)$

$66=2(3w-9)$

$33=3(w-3)$

$11=w-3$

$w=14$

Substitute for this in the equation for l.

$l=2w-9=2\times14-9=28-9=19$

Hence, the length is 19 feet and the width is 14 feet.

mihalych1998 [28]

Explanation:

Given that,

Position of the particle at t = 0,

$y=(6i+10j)\ m$

Velocity of the particle at t = 0

$u=(1i+6j)\ m$

Acceleration of the particle,

$a=(5i+7j)\ m/s^2$

Solution,

(a) Let v is the velocity at t = 10 s. Using the equation of kinematics as :

$v=u+at$

$v=(1i+6j)+(5i+7j)10$

$v=(51i+76j)\ m/s$

(b) Let y' is the position at t = 1 s. Again using second equation of kinematics as :

$y'=y+ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

$y'=(6i+10j)+(1i+6j)1+\dfrac{1}{2}\times (5i+7j)1^2$

$y'=\dfrac{19}{2}i+\dfrac{39}{2}j$

(c) Magnitude of y',

$|y'|=\sqrt{(\dfrac{19}{2})^2+(\dfrac{39}{2})^2}$

|y'| = 21.69 meters

Direction of the y',

$tan\theta=\dfrac{y}{x}$

$tan\theta=\dfrac{39/2}{19/2}$

$\theta=64.02^{\circ}$

Hence, this is the required solution.

zepelin [54]

The answer given by E2020 is

"The padding around the goal post increases the time of the collision between the player and the post, which decreases the force exerted to bring the player to a stop"

A sculpture is suspended in equilibrium by two cables, one from a wall and the other

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

$T_1=6655.295917 \approx 6655.3N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Angle of cable 2 $\theta=37.0\textdegree$

Weight of sculpture $W=5000 N$

Generally the Tension from cable 2 $T_2$ is mathematically given by

$T_2sin37\textdegree=5000N$

$T_2=5000N/sin37\textdegree$

$T_2=8308.2N$

Generally the Tension from Cable 1 $T_1$ is mathematically given by

$T_1=T_2 cos37\textdegree$

$T_1=8308.2* cos 37\textdegree$

$T_1=6655.295917 \approx 6655.3N$

Which causes a rainbow in the sky?

Alina [70]

Sunlight (white light) refracts through droplets of water in the atmosphere and this causes a rainbow in the sky. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "C". The rainbow is caused by the reflection, refraction and dispersion of sunlight in water droplets that are present in the atmosphere.
