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

A ball is dropped from the rest from a high window of a tall building and called for 4 seconds. Neglecting air resistance, the f
diamong [38]

Answer:

-39.2m/s

Explanation:

Given that :

t = 4secs

g = -9.8m/s^2

v = ?

u = 0m/s ( since it was at rest )

V = u +at............. 1

Where v is the final velocity

a = -g = -9.8m/s^2 since the ball was dropped from a height which will eventually make it move against gravity

t = 4secs

Substitute the values into 1

v = 0 - 9.8×4

v = -39.2m/s

the universal law of gravitation states that the force of attraction between two objects depends on witch quantities?​
Temka [501]

The equation is Fg = G(m₁m₂/d²).

G is the universal gravitational constant, but that isn't exactly a quantity.

m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the two objects, and those are quantities.

d is the distance between the two objects, and those are quantities.

So, masses and distance.

An athlete does one push-up period in the process, she moves half of her body weight, 250 N, a distance of 20 cm, this distance
ioda
In the push-up, the athlete's weight  (or force) of 250 N moves through a distance of 20 cm.

By definition,
Work = force * distance.

Therefore, work done in one push-up is
W=(250 \, N)*(20 \, cm)*(10^{-2} \,  \frac{cm}{m}) = 50 \, J

Note that 1 J = 1  N-m.

Answer:  1 J

How strong is the electric field between two parallel plates 5.8 mm apart if the potential difference between them is 200 V?
crimeas [40]

Answer: Electric field is given as

E = V/d

E = 220 v / 0.0056m

E = 39285.71 v/m

Or

E = 39285.71 N/C

Explanation: Therefore electric field is 39285.71 V/m

Imagine you are a water molecule, carbon atom, or nitrogen atom that is inside a cow. Write a brief explanation of how you got f
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

The processes involved in each of the molecules involved are different.

For example, water molecules that have condensed in the atmosphere (in the cloud) return back to the earth through precipitation in the form of rain water. These cows drink these water from various water bodies around them. This is one process in which water molecules move from the atmosphere into the living cow.

In the case of carbon and nitrogen atoms; the air the cow breath in consists of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and some other gases. These gas molecules move (from the atmosphere) into the cow through the process of respiration.
