You want to estimate the height of the Empire State Building. You start at its base and walk 15 m away. Then you approximate the

angle from the ground at that point to the top to be 88 degrees. How tall do you estimate the Empire State Bulding to be?

Answer:

429 m

Explanation:

In this exercise you are suppose to simulate a right triangle, the catheti are the distance you walked and the height of the empire state building.

tan(88) = (height) /(distance you walked)

28.64 = height / 15

height = 429 m

When a crown of mass 14.7 kg is submerged in water, an accurate scale reads only 13.4 kg. What material is the crown made of?
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

  ρ = 1.13 10⁴  km/m³

Explanation:

For this exercise we use Newton's equilibrium equation

        B –W + W_scale = 0

Where B is the thrust and W_scale is the balance reading

The push is given by Archimedes' law

        B = ρ_water g V

        B = W- W_scale

        B = m g - m_scale g  

       

Let's calculate

         B = 14.7 9.8 - 13.4 9.8

         B = 12.74 N

         ρ_water g V = 12.74

         V = 12.74 / ρ_water g

         V = 12.74 / 1000 9.8

         V = 0.0013 m³

Let's use density

          ρ = m / V

           

We replace

         ρ = 14.7 / 0.0013

         ρ = 1.13 10⁴  km/m³

How can i prove the conservation of mechanical energy?​
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

We can also prove the conservation of mechanical energy of a freely falling body by the work-energy theorem, which states that change in kinetic energy of a body is equal to work done on it. i.e. W=ΔK. And ΔE=ΔK+ΔU. Hence the mechanical energy of the body is conserved

Kipish [7]

Answer:

Velocity

Explanation:

"The principle is that the slope of the line on a position-time graph is equal to the velocity of the object. If the object is moving with a velocity of +4 m/s, then the slope of the line will be +4 m/s."
