A searchlight is 210 ft from a straight wall. As the beam moves along the wall, the angle between the beam and the perpendicula

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

The length of the beam increasing is 9.64 ft/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Height = 210 ft

Distance =290 ft

According to figure,

We need to calculate the angle

$\cos\theta=\dfrac{210}{x}$ ....(I)

Put the value of x in the equation

$\cos\theta=\dfrac{210}{290}$

$\cos\theta=\dfrac{21}{29}=0.72$

Now, $\sin\theta=\dfrac{20}{29}$

On differentiate of equation (I)

$-\sin\theta\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=-\dfrac{-210}{x^2}\dfrac{dx}{dt}$

$\sin\theta=\dfrac{210}{x^2}\dfrac{dx}{dt}$

Put the value in the equation

$\sin\dfrac{20}{29}\times2.0=\dfrac{210}{(290)^2}\dfrac{dx}{dt}$

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=\sin\dfrac{20}{29}\times2.0\times\dfrac{290^2}{210}$

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=9.64\ ft/s$

Hence, The length of the beam increasing is 9.64 ft/s.

As your hand moves back and forth to generate longitudinal pulses in a spiral spring, your hand completes 3.19 back-and-forth cy

lesantik [10]

Explanation:

Since, it is given that one hand completes 3.19 vibrations in 8.46 sec. Therefore, in one second the number of vibrations will be as follows.

$\frac{3.19}{8.46}$

= 0.377 vibrations

Hence, frequency (f) = 0.38 Hz

Now, formula to calculate the speed is as follows.

v = $f \times \lambda$

or, $\lambda = \frac{v}{f}$

= $\frac{0.6 cm/s}{0.38}$

= 1.57 cm

Thus, we can conclude that the wavelength is 1.57 cm.

a 15kg television sits on a shelf at a height of 0.3 m how much gravitational potential energy is added to the television when i

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

<h2>103 Joules</h2>

Explanation:

In this problem we are required to find the potential energy possessed by the television

Given data

mass of television m = 15 kg

height added above the ground, h= 1-0.3 = 0.7 m

acceleration due to gravity g = 9.81 m/s^2

apply the formula for potential energy we have

P.E= m*g*h

P.E = 15*9.81*0.7 = 103 Joules

You are working as an assistant to an air-traffic controller at the local airport, from which small airplanes take off and land.

Alika [10]

Answer:

d = 2021.6 km

Explanation:

We can solve this distance exercise with vectors, the easiest method s to find the components of the position of each plane and then use the Pythagorean theorem to find distance between them

Airplane 1

Height y₁ = 800m

Angle θ = 25°

cos 25 = x / r

sin 25 = z / r

x₁ = r cos 20

z₁ = r sin 25

x₁ = 18 103 cos 25 = 16,314 103 m = 16314 m

z₁ = 18 103 sin 25 = 7,607 103 m= 7607 m

2 plane

Height y₂ = 1100 m

Angle θ = 20°

x₂ = 20 103 cos 25 = 18.126 103 m = 18126 m

z₂ = 20 103 without 25 = 8.452 103 m = 8452 m

The distance between the planes using the Pythagorean Theorem is

d² = (x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)² + (z₂-z₁)²2

Let's calculate

d² = (18126-16314)² + (1100-800)² + (8452-7607)²

d² = 3,283 106 +9 104 + 7,140 105

d² = (328.3 + 9 + 71.40) 10⁴

d = √(408.7 10⁴)

d = 20,216 10² m

d = 2021.6 km
