In order to make a ramp that is 3ft high and covers4ft of ground how long must the ramp be

Physics

This seems like a right angle triangle situation
the height is 3ft
the base is 4ft
so we're looking for the hypothenus
so we can use the Pythagoras Theorem
which is
the square of the hypothenus is equal to the sum of the square of the two other sides
hyp^2 is equal to opp^2+ adj^2
hyp^2 equals to 3^2 + 4^2
9+16
25
hyp^2 equals to 25
\sqrt{25}
equals to 5
the ramp has to be 5ft long

Which of the following changes will always increase the efficiency of a thermodynamic engine? Choose all correct statements.
Ilya [14]

Answer:B,C,D

Explanation:

Thermodynamic  efficiency is given by

\eta =1-\frac{T_C}{T-H}

\eta efficiency can be increased by Keeping _c constant and increasing T_H

Keeping T_H constant and decreasing T_c

by increasing \Delta T=T_H-T_c

by decreasing \frac{T_C}{T_H} ratio

The magnetic field at point P due to a 2.0-A current flowing in a long, straight, thin wire is 8.0 μT. How far is point P from t
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

r = 0.05 m = 5 cm

Explanation:

Applying ampere's law to the wire, we get:

B = \frac{\mu_oI}{2\pi r}\\\\r =  \frac{\mu_oI}{2\pi B}

where,

r = distance of point P from wire = ?

μ₀ = permeability of free space = 4π x 10⁻⁷ N/A²

I = current = 2 A

B = Magnetic Field = 8 μT = 8 x 10⁻⁶ T

Therefore,

r = \frac{(4\pi\ x\ 10^{-7}\ N/A^2)(2\ A)}{2\pi(8\ x\ 10^{-6}\ T)}\\\\

<u>r = 0.05 m = 5 cm</u>
