Think of the clock's face as a circle. You've been given the length of the minute hand: that tells you the radius of the circle. Use that to work out its circumference (I'm sure you already know the formula for that), then - as 35 minutes is seven-twelfths of 60 minutes - work out what seven-twelfths of that circumference is.<span>

Answer:

The tip of the minute hand of Big Ben travel in 35 minutes by 51.31 ft

Explanation:

Angle rotated by minute hand in 1 hour = 360⁰

Angle rotated by minute hand in 60 minutes = 360⁰

Angle rotated by minute hand in 1 minute = 6⁰

Angle rotated by minute hand in 35 minutes = 35 x 6 = 210⁰

Perimeter of 1 full circle = 2πr

Perimeter of 360⁰ circle = 2πr

\texttt{Perimeter of }210^0 \texttt{ arc =}2\pi r\times \frac{210}{360}

Here r = 14 feet

Substituting

\texttt{Perimeter of }210^0 \texttt{ arc =}2\pi \times 14\times \frac{210}{360}=51.31ft

The tip of the minute hand of Big Ben travel in 35 minutes by 51.31 ft

What structure on the south african coast has a range of 63 km and releases flashes every 30 seconds?
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Cape Point lighthouse

Explanation:

The lighthouse is located South of Cape Town, at a point where boats turn to go around the tip of Africa.

The new lighthouse has the most powerful light of all the lighthouses in South Africa, with a power of 10 megacandelas.  That's why it's being visible for up to 63 km around.

It's a very important lighthouse helping to conduct the traffic around dangerous waters where 2 oceans meet.

You pick up a 10-newton book off the floor and put it on a shelf 2 meters high. How much work did you do?​
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

20 J

Explanation:

Given:

Weight of the book is, W=10\ N

Height or displacement of the book is, d=2\ m

The work done on the book to raise it to a height of 2 m on a shelf is against gravity. The gravitational force acting on the book is equal to its weight. Now, in order to raise it, an equal amount of force must be applied in the opposite direction.

So, the force applied by me should be equal to weight of the body and in the upward direction. The displacement is also in the upward direction.

Now, work done by the applied force is equal to the product of force applied and displacement of book in the direction of the applied force.

Therefore, work done is given as:

Work=W\times d\\Work=10\times 2=20\ J

Therefore, the work done to raise a book to a height 2 m from the floor is 20 J.

An oscillating object takes 0.10 s to complete one cycle; that is, its period is 0.10 s. what is its frequency f? express your a
Tems11 [23]
<span>10 hertz Hertz is the frequency of oscillation which is the number of oscillations per second. So if something takes 0.10 s per oscillation, divide 1 second by the period to get the frequency. So 1 / 0.10s = 10 1/s = 10 Hertz Therefore the object is vibrating at 10 hertz.</span>
