Answer:

16.3 ft/s

Explanation:

Let d=distance

and

x = length of shadow.

Therfore,

x=(d + x)

 = 6/15

So,

    15x = 6x + 6d

     9x = 6d.

x = (2/3)d.

As we know that:

dx=dt

   = (2/3) (d/dt) 

Also,

Given:

d(d)=dt

     = 7 ft/s

Thus,

d(d + x)=dt

           = (7/3)d (d/dt)

Substitute, d= 7  

d(d + x) = 49/3 ft/s.

Hence,

d(d + x) = 16.3 ft/s.

What is the altitude of the Sun at noon on December 22, as seen from a place on the Tropic of Cancer?
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

108.217 °

Explanation:

Day of year = 356 = d (Considering year of 365 days)

Latitude of Tropic of Cancer = 23.5 °N

Declination angle

δ = 23.45×sin[(360/365)(d+284)]

⇒δ = 23.45×sin[(360/365)(356+284)]

⇒δ = 5.2832 °

Altitude angle at solar noon

90+Latitude-Declination angle

= 90+23.5-5.2832

= 108.217 °

∴ Altitude angle of the Sun as seen from the tropic of cancer on December 22 is 108.217 °

Which of the following statements are true?
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

A) True. Voltmeters measure voltages

C) True. They are placed in parallel

E) True ammeters are used to measure current

Explanation:

The devices for voltage measurement are the voltmeter and ammeter

Voltmeters have very high intense resistance and are placed in parallel

The ammeters have very small resist and are placed in series

Based on this establishment, let's analyze the statements

A) True. Voltmeters measure voltages

B) False has high intense resistance

C) True. They are placed in parallel

D) False ammeters are placed in series

E) True ammeters are used to measure current

F) False ammeters have a low internal resistance

6. A 73-kg woman stands on a scale in an elevator. The
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

b

Explanation:

n = m(g +a)

n= normal force (N)

m=mass (kg)

g=acceleration of gravity

a= acceleration of elevator

rearrange:

a= n/m - g

a= (810 N/73 kg) - 9.8 m/s ^2

a= 1.3 m/s ^2 up

and the acceleration is upwards bc her weight is less than the scale reading
