A man 2 meters tall walks at the rate of 2 meters per second toward a streetlight that's 5 meters above the ground. At what rate

GaryK [48]

Answer:

It changes at a rate of 4/3 meter per second

Explanation:

In the given figure below we have

$\Delta OBD\simeq \Delta ABC\\\\\therefore \frac{5}{X+Y}=\frac{2}{Y}\\\\$

Solving for Y given $X=2m/s$ we get

$\frac{5}{2+Y}=\frac{2}{Y}\\\\5Y=4+2Y\\\\Y=\frac{4}{3}m/s$

An atom in the ground state has a collision with an electron, then emits a photon with a wavelength of 1240 nm. What conclusion

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

attached below is the free body diagram of the missing illustration

Initial kinetic energy of the electron = 3 eV

Explanation:

The conclusion that can be drawn about the kinetic energy of the electron is

$E_{e} = E_{3} - E_{1}$

E $_{e}$ = initial kinetic energy of the electron

E $_{1}$ = -4 eV

E $_{3}$ = -1 eV

insert the values into the equation above

$E_{e}$ = -1 -(-4) eV

= -1 + 4 = 3 eV

julie is cycling at a speed of 3.4 meters/second. if the combined mass if the bicycle and julies is 30 kilograms. what is the ki

puteri [66]

You can solve this using the equation k=mv^2. k is the kinetic energy, m is the mass, and is the velocity. k=30(3.4)^2, so the answer is 346.8 J.

two horses are pulling a 325 kg wagon, initially at rest. The horses exert 250 N and 178 N forward forces, respectively. Ignorin

Dovator [93]

Answer:

AFter 3.5 s, the wagon is moving at: $4.62\,\,\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

Let's start by finding first the net force on the wagon, and from there the wagon's acceleration (using Newton's 2nd Law):

Net force = 250 N + 178 N = 428 N

Therefore, the acceleration from Newton's 2nd Law is:

$F=m\,*\,a\\a = \frac{F}{m} \\a= \frac{428}{325}\, \frac{m}{s^2} \\a\approx 1.32 \,\,\frac{m}{s^2}$

So now we apply this acceleration to the kinematic expression for velocity in an object moving under constant acceleration:

$v_f=v_i+a\,*\,t\\v_f=0+1.32\,*\,3.5\,\,\frac{m}{s} \\v_f=4.62\,\,\frac{m}{s}$
