At a given time of​ day, the ratio of the height of an object to the length of its shadow is the same for all objects. If a 4​-f

t stick in the ground casts a shadow of 2.8 ​ft, find the height of a tree that casts a shadow that is 24.64 ft.

Answer:35.2 ft

Explanation:

Given

height of stick =4 ft

shadow length =2.8 ft

Angle of elevation of sun is

tan\theta =\frac{4}{2.8}

let the height of tree be h

as \thetawill remain same thus

tan\theta =\frac{h}{24.64}

\frac{4}{2.8}=\frac{h}{24.64}

h=35.2 ft

Which describes a condition of the neritic zone?
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

So frigid temps I think .

Explanation:

The neritic zone is a shallow zone of water. It is sunlit and it receives ample solar insolation all year round. The salinity of this zone is very stable. This makes for organism to thrive. The neritic zone is home to diverse aquatic life.

A garrafa térmica (também conhecida como "vaso de Dewar") é um dispositivo extremamente útil para conservar, no seu interior, co
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

A opção A está correta.

O sistema formado pela garrafa térmica e a água perde 400 cal de calor para o meio ambiente.

Option A is correct.

The system formed by the thermos and the water loses 400 cal of heat to the environment.

Explanation:

Quando a temperatura de um sistema reduz, fica claro que o sistema perdeu calor ou energia térmica. Como a temperatura é um dos indicadores mais claros disso, esta conclusão é hermética e correta.

Mas, para saber a quantidade de calor perdida para o meio ambiente, agora fazemos alguns cálculos de energia térmica.

Transferência de calor de ou para o sistema de água e garrafa térmica = c × ΔT

c = capacidade térmica do sistema de água e garrafa térmica = 80 cal /°C

ΔT = Alteração da temperatura do sistema de água e garrafa térmica = (temperatura final) - (temperatura inicial) = 55 - 60 = -5°C

Calor transferido = 80 × -5 = -400 cal.

O sinal de menos mostra que o calor é transferido para fora do sistema, ou seja, o calor é perdido no sistema.

Espero que isto ajude!!!

English Translation

The thermos (also known as "Dewar vase") is an extremely useful device to conserve bodies (essentially liquid) at high temperatures, minimizing energy exchanges with the environment, which is generally colder. A thermos contains water at 60 o C. The thermos + water set has a thermal capacity of C = 80 cal / o C. The system is placed on a table and, after a considerable period of time, its temperature decreases to 55 o C. In this case, it is concluded that the system formed by the thermos and the water inside:

a) lost 400 cal. B) gained 404cal. C) lost 4 850 cal. D) gained 4 850 cal. E) did not exchange heat with the external environment.

Solution

When a system's temperature reduces, it is clear to conclude that the system has lost heat or thermal energy. Since temperature is one of clearest indicators of this, this conclusion is airtight and correct.

But, to know the amount of heat lost to the environment, we now do some thermal energy calculations.

Heat transferrred from or to the water and thermos system = c × ΔT

c = heat capacity of the water and thermos system = 80 cal/°C

ΔT = Change in temperature of the water and thermos system = (final temperature) - (initial temperature)

= 55 - 60 = -5°C

Heat transferred = 80 × -5 = -400 cal.

The minus sign shows that the heat is transferred out of the system, that is, the heat is lost from the system.

Hope this Helps!!!

A child is sitting on the outer edge of a merry-go-round that is 1.5 m in diameter. If the merry-go-round makes 3.2 rev/min, wha
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

the velocity of the kid is 5.6 m/s

Explanation:

r is the radius and w is the frequency.

so we should know that the diameter is 18m and the diameter is equal to two times the radius, so r = 18m/2 = 9m

we should also know that the circumference of a circle is equal to c = 2pi*r, so each revolution has this length. if the kid does 5.9 revolutions in one minute then the kid spins at v = 5.9*2pi*9m/min

so we want to write this in meters per second and this means that we need to divide it by 60!

v = (5.9*2pi*9/60)m/s = 5.56 m/s

so your answer will be  5.6 m/s glad i could help!

An Atwood machine consists of two masses, mA = 6.8 kg and mB = 8.0 kg , connected by a cord that passes over a pulley free to ro
Lisa [10]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concewptos related to Torque, kinetic movement and Newton's second Law.

By definition Newton's second law is described as

F= ma

Where,

m= mass

a = Acceleration

Part A) According to the information (and as can be seen in the attached graph) a sum of forces is carried out in mass B, it is obtained that,

\sum F = m_b a

m_Bg-T_B = m_Ba

T_B = m_Bg-m_Ba

In the case of mass A,

\sum F = m_A a

T_A = m_Ag-m_Aa

Making summation of Torques in the Pulley we have to

\sum\tau = I\alpha

T_BR_0-T_AR_0=I\alpha

T_B-T_A=I\frac{a}{R^2_0}

Replacing the values previously found,

(m_Bg-m_Ba )-(m_Ag-m_Aa )=I\frac{a}{R^2_0}

(m_B-m_A)g-(m_B+m_A)a=I\frac{a}{R^2_0}

a = \frac{(m_B-m_A)g}{\frac{I}{R_0^2}+(m_B+m_A)}

a = \frac{(m_B-m_A)g}{\frac{MR^2_0^2/2}{R_0^2}+(m_B+m_A)}

a =\frac{(m_B-m_A)g}{\frac{M}{2}+(m_B+m_A)}

Replacing with our values

a =\frac{(8-6.8)(9.8)}{\frac{0.8}{2}+(8+6.8)}

a=0.7736m/s^2

PART B) Ignoring the moment of inertia the acceleration would be given by

a' =\frac{(m_B-m_A)g}{(m_B+m_A)}

a' =\frac{(8-6.8)(9.8)}{(8+6.8)}

a' = 0.7945

Therefore the error would be,

\%error = \frac{a'-a}{a}*100

\%error = \frac{0.7945-0.7736}{0.7736}*100

\%error = 2.7%

is dimensionally correct relation necessarily to be a correct physical relation? explain with example.​
Andreas93 [3]

Answer: hope it helps you...❤❤❤❤

Explanation: If your values have dimensions like time, length, temperature, etc, then if the dimensions are not the same then the values are not the same. So a “dimensionally wrong equation” is always false and cannot represent a correct physical relation.

No, not necessarily.

For instance, Newton’s 2nd law is  F=p˙ , or the sum of the applied forces on a body is equal to its time rate of change of its momentum. This is dimensionally correct, and a correct physical relation. It’s fine.

But take a look at this (incorrect) equation for the force of gravity:

F=−G(m+M)Mm√|r|3r  

It has all the nice properties you’d expect: It’s dimensionally correct (assuming the standard traditional value for  G ), it’s attractive, it’s symmetric in the masses, it’s inverse-square, etc. But it doesn’t correspond to a real, physical force.

It’s a counter-example to the claim that a dimensionally correct equation is necessarily a correct physical relation.

A simpler counter example is  1=2 . It is stating the equality of two dimensionless numbers. It is trivially dimensionally correct. But it is false.
