To find this simply draw a triangle with the hypotenuse being 15 and the angle between the hypotenuse and bottom leg is 20. The horizontal component is the horizontal leg. to find this you would use cos and then solve for the bottom leg.

When you do, you get 15cos(20)

A space shuttle orbits Earth at a speed of 21,000 km/hr. How far does it go in 3.5 hrs?
inn [45]
Since it travels at 21,000 kilometers per hour, you'd just multiply that with 3.5 to get 73,500. So your answer is 73,500.

A major artery with a cross sectional area of 1.00cm^2 branches into 18 smaller arteries, each with an average cross sectional a
dybincka [34]

Here we can say that rate of flow must be constant

so here we will have

A_1v_1 = 18 A_2v_2

now we know that

A_1 = 1 cm^2

A_2 = 0.4 cm^2

now from above equation

1 cm^2 v_1 = 18(0.400 cm^2)v_2

\frac{v_2}{v_1} = \frac{1}{18\times 0.4}

\frac{v_2}{v_1} = 0.14

so velocity will reduce by factor 0.14

Estimate the mass of water that must evaporate from the skin to cool the body by 0.45 ∘C. Assume a body mass of 95 kg and assume
hram777 [196]

Answer:

0.0757 kg

Explanation:

m = mass of the body = 95 kg = 95000 g

ΔT = change in the temperature of the body = 0.45 °C

c = specific heat capacity of the body = 4.0 J/(g °C)

M = mass of water evaporated

L = latent heat of vaporization of water = 2260 J/g

Using conservation of heat

Heat gained by water = heat lost by body

ML = m c ΔT

M (2260) = (95000) (4.0) (0.45)

M = 75.7 g

M = 0.0757 kg
