Answer:

  30.22°.          

Explanation:

Given that

height of the bridge ,h= 12 ft

The distance of the lake from bridge ,L= 7 m

 Lets take angle = θ

Now by using diagram

We can say that

tan\theta =\dfrac{L}{h}

tan\theta =\dfrac{7}{12}

tan\theta=0.583

\theta=30.22^{\circ}

That is why the angle will be 30.22°.

When a body of mass 0.25 kg is attached to a vertical massless spring, it is extended 5.0 cm from its unstretched length of 4.0
lora16 [44]

Answer:

d=0.165m

Explanation:

Given

m=0.25kg,x_{1}=5cm*\frac{1m}{100cm}=0.05m,x_{2}=4cm*\frac{1m}{100cm}=0.04m,v=2\frac{rev}{s}

The tension of the spring is

F_{k}=K*x_{1}=m*g

K=\frac{m*g}{x_{1}}

K=\frac{0.25kg*9.8m/s^2}{0.05m}=49N/m

The force in the spring is equal to centripetal force so

F_{c}=\frac{m*v^2}{r}

v=w*r=2\pi*r

But Fc is also

Fc=KxΔr

F_{c}=K*(r-x_{2})

Replacing

m*4\pi^2*r=K*(r-x_{2})

0.25kg*4\pi^2*r=49*(r-0.04m)

r=0.205m

total distance is

d=0.205-0.04=0.165m

A tomato of mass 0.18 kg is dropped from a tall bridge. If the tomato has a speed of 11 m/s just before it hits the ground, what
kondor19780726 [428]
The kinetic energy of the tomato is : 

K.E =  1/2 mv^2

K.E = 1/2 x 0.18 kg x 11 m/S^2

K.E = 0.99

Hope this helps

State Newton's three laws of motion.​
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Newton's first law states that, if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force.

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is directly related to the net force and inversely related to its mass. Acceleration of an object depends on two things, force and mass.

Newton's third law states that if an object A exerts a force on object B, then object B must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object A. This law represents a certain symmetry in nature: forces always occur in pairs, and one body cannot exert a force on another without experiencing a force itself.
