Sarah, who lives in Australia notices that the length of the shadow of the flagpole is getting shorter every day when measured a

t noon. Paul, who lives in Canada, notices that the length of the shadow of the flagpole is getting longer everyday when measured at noon. Draw a model to explain how both students can be observing this at the same time. Include these in your model: Sun; earth; tilted axis; rotation and revolution.

Answer:

Time zone is one important factor in difference in location and this in turn affects the result of the resolution and rotation of shadow produced from the sun or other illumination.

Therefore someone at a place might see a clear large shadow due to shinny sun reflection and another a small or dull Shadow at same time if the intensity of the sun or lighting source is going down.

Explanation:

The closer a body/object is to a lighting source the larger the shadow it produces, and the farther the body the smaller the shadow produced.

kvasek [131]

Answer:

t = 106π / 30*2.1

Explanation:

w_{i} = 1.06*10^{2}    => 106

    => 106 x 2π/60

    => 106/30π

∝ = -2.1 rad/sec²

w_{f} => 0

w_{f} = w_{i} + ∝t

∴ (w_{f} - w_{i}) / ∝ = t

t = 106π / 30*2.1

The drag force pushes opposite your motion as you ride a bicycle. If you double your speed, what happens to the drag force?
timurjin [86]

Answer: The drag force goes up by a factor of 4

Explanation:

The <u>Drag Force</u> equation is:

F_{D}=\frac{1}{2}C_{D}\rho A_{D}V^{2} (1)

Where:

F_{D} is the Drag Force

C_{D} is the Drag coefficient, which depends on the material

\rho is the density of the fluid where the bicycle is moving (<u>air in this case) </u>

A_{D} is the transversal area of the body or object

V the bicycle's velocity

Now, if we assume C_{D}, \rho and A_{D} do not change, we can rewrite (1) as:

F_{D}=C.V^{2} (2)

Where C groups all these coefficients.

So, if we have a new velocity V_{n} , which is the double of the former velocity:

V_{n}=2V (3)

Equation (2) is written as:

F_{D}=C.V_{n}^{2}=C.(2V)^{2}

F_{D}=4CV^{2} (4)

Comparing (2) and (4) we can conclude<u> the Drag force is four times greater when the speed is doubled.</u>

what occurs when a swimmer pushes through the water to swim answers are (A) the water exerts a reaction force on the swimmer (B)
miv72 [106K]
When a swimmer pushes through water to swim they are propelled forward because of the water resistance against the hand and feet. It's A. The water doesn't automatically push the swimmer forward. It releases a reaction after the swimmer pushes through the water.

An alert driver can apply the brakes fully in about 0.5 seconds. How far would the car travel if it
dybincka [34]

Answer:

The car would travel after applying brakes is, d = 14.53 m

Explanation:

Given that,

The time taken to apply brakes fully is, t = 0.5 s

The velocity of the car, v = 29.06 m/s

The distance traveled by the car in 0.5 s, d = ?

The relation between the velocity, displacement, and time is given by the formula                

                                d = v x t    m

Substituting the values in the above equation,

                                  d = 29.06 m/s x 0.5 s

                                     = 14.53 m

Therefore, the car would travel after applying brakes is, d = 14.53 m
