Answer:

1. Installing solar panels on the roof. This is an example of renewable energy, and solar panels help provide electricity for a home.

2. Using LED lights instead of traditional lightbulbs. The modern LED lights use much less electricity and function up to 90% more efficiently than the traditional lightbulbs.

3. Using rain barrels to collect water from the roof. Installing rain barrels to collect rainwater to water your plants and garden is a great way to save water and cut down on your water bill.

Hope this helps! :)

The height of a typical playground slide is about 1.8 m and it rises at an angle of 30 ∘ above the horizontal.

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

$5.94\ \text{m/s}$

$1.7$

$0.577$

Explanation:

g = Acceleration due to gravity = $9.81\ \text{m/s}^2$

$\theta$ = Angle of slope = $30^{\circ}$

v = Velocity of child at the bottom of the slide

$\mu_k$ = Coefficient of kinetic friction

$\mu_s$ = Coefficient of static friction

h = Height of slope = 1.8 m

The energy balance of the system is given by

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gh}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 1.8}\\\Rightarrow v=5.94\ \text{m/s}$

The speed of the child at the bottom of the slide is $5.94\ \text{m/s}$

Length of the slide is given by

$l=h\sin\theta\\\Rightarrow l=1.8\sin30^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow l=0.9\ \text{m}$

$v=\dfrac{1}{2}\times5.94\\\Rightarrow v=2.97\ \text{m/s}$

The force energy balance of the system is given by

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+\mu_kmg\cos\theta l\\\Rightarrow \mu_k=\dfrac{gh-\dfrac{1}{2}v^2}{gl\cos\theta}\\\Rightarrow \mu_k=\dfrac{9.81\times 1.8-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2.97^2}{9.81\times 0.9\cos30^{\circ}}\\\Rightarrow \mu_k=1.73$

The coefficient of kinetic friction is $1.7$ .

For static friction

$\mu_s\geq\tan30^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow \mu_s\geq0.577$

So, the minimum possible value for the coefficient of static friction is $0.577$ .

The base of a hexagonal prism has an apothem measuring 10 inches and an area of 346.41 square inches. the prism is 12 inches tal

tigry1 [53]

The approximate lateral area of the prism is determined as 831 square inches.

<h3>What is lateral area of the hexagonal prism?</h3>

The lateral area of the hexagonal prism is calculated as follows;

LA = PH

where;

P is perimeter of the prism
H is height

A = ¹/₂Pa

where;

a is apothem = 10 inches
A is base area = 346.41 in²

346.41 = ¹/₂(10)P

346.41 = 5P

P = 346.41/5

P = 69.282 inches

LA = PH

LA = 69.282 x 12

LA = 831.38 in²

"A short-wave radio antenna is supported by two guy wires, 150 ft and 170 ft long. Each wire is attached to the top of the anten

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The anchor points are 78.37 ft and 111.99 ft

Explanation:

If you look at the attached (Fig 1) you will find that the union of antenna and its guy wires forms two right triangles. To solve problems that involve this kind of triangles, you can apply trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, etc) and Pythagoras Theorem. Trigonometric functions states the relation between angles, sides and hypotenuse of a right triangle. If you look Fig2, considering α angle, "b" is the opposite side, "a" the adjacent side and "c" the hypotenuse. Then

a) Sine (α) = b/c it means opposite side/hypotenuse

b) Cosine (α)= a/c, it means adjacent side/hypotenuse

c) Tangent (α) = b/a opposite side/adjacent side.

Pythagoras theorem states that if you called "a" and "b", the sides of the right triangle, and "c" the hypotenuse, then:

a² + b² = c²

As the problem states the lengths 150 ft and 170 ft represents the value of the hypotenuse of each triangle and 65° is one of the angles of the triangle with 150 ft hypotenuse. So you can solve this using sin (65°) to find the height of the antenna (h) and then the two distances (x and y,).

Sine (65°) = h/ 150 ft ⇒ Sine (65°) x 150ft = h ⇒ h = 127.9 ft.

To find x : Cosine (65°) = x/ 150 ft ⇒ Cosine (65°) x 150 ft = x

⇒ x = 78.37 ft.

And finally, to find y we can apply Pythagoras theorem

(170 ft)² = (127.9 ft)² + y² ⇒ y² = (170 ft)² - (127.9 ft)² ⇒ y = 111.99 ft

Summarizing, the anchor points are 78.37 ft and 111.99 ft

skad [1K]

Answer:

It's probably the Redshift and Blueshift

Explanation:

The light shifting towards shorter or longer wavelengths as objects in space (stars or galaxies) move closer or farther away from us. This phenomenon is known as the Redshifts and Blueshifts. The concept indicates us that the Universe is expanding.

Hope this helps you!

Bye!
