A man stands on his balcony, 130 feet above the ground. He looks at the ground, with his sight line forming an angle of 70° with

the building, and sees a bus stop. The function d = 130 sec θ models the distance from the man to any object given his angle of sight θ. How far is the bus stop from the man? Round your answer to the nearest foot.

Answer:

d =  380 feet

Explanation:

Height of man = perpendicular= 130 feet

Angle of depression = ∅ = 70 °

distance to bus stop from man = hypotenuse = d = 130 sec∅

As sec ∅ = 1 / cos∅

so d = 130 sec∅    or d = 130 / cos∅

d = 130 / cos(70°)

d =  380 feet

lidiya [134]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

The work done can be given by the mechanical energy used to do work, i.e., Kinetic energy and potential energy provided to do the work.

In all the cases, except option D, the energy provided to do the useful work is not zero and hence work done is not zero.  

In option D, the box is being pulled with constant velocity, making the acceleration zero and thus Kinetic energy of the system is zero. Hence work done in this case is zero.

Sylvia and Jadon now want to work a problem. Imagine a puck of mass 0.5 kg moving in a circular simulation. Suppose that the ten
leva [86]

Answer:

Tangential speed, v = 2.64 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the puck, m = 0.5 kg

Tension acting in the string, T = 3.5 N

Radius of the circular path, r = 1 m

To find,

The tangential speed of the puck.

Solution,

The centripetal force acting in the string is balanced by the tangential speed of the puck. The expression for the centripetal force is given by :

F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr}{m}}

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{3.5\ N\times 1\ m}{0.5\ kg}}

v = 2.64 m/s

Therefore, the tangential speed of the puck is 2.64 m/s.
