Answer:
8.85m/s
Explanation:
The potential energy the watermelon held before dropping is Ep=mgh=2*9.8*4=78.4J.
When it strikes the ground, all of its Ep will transfer into Ek, so 1/2*m*v^2=78.4.
We already knew that m=2, so insert that in, we will get the V^2=78.4 m/s, V=8.85 m/s
complete question:
An observer at the top of a 462-ft cliff measures the angle of depression from the top of the cliff to a point on the ground to be 5°. What is the distance from the base of the cliff to the point on the ground? Round to the nearest foot
Answer:
a ≈ 5281 ft
Explanation:
The observer at the top of a 462 ft cliff measures the angle of depression from the top of the cliff to a point on the ground to be 5°.
The angle of depression form the top of the cliff = 5°
The 5° is outside the triangle formed . To find the angle in the triangle we have to subtract 5° from 90°. 90° - 5° = 85° Note sum of an angle on a right angle is 90°.
using SOHCAHTOA principle we can solve for the distance from the base of the cliff to the point on the ground(a)
tan 85° = opposite / adjacent
tan 85° = a / 462
cross multiply
462 × tan 85° = a
a = 11.4300523 × 462
a = 5280.66 ft
a ≈ 5281 ft
Stars are huge celestial bodies made mostly of hydrogen and helium that produce light and heat from the churning nuclear forges inside their cores. Aside from our sun, the dots of light we see in the sky are all light-years from Earth. They are the building blocks of galaxies, of which there are billions in the universe. It’s impossible to know how many stars exist, but astronomers estimate that in our Milky Way galaxy alone, there are about 300 billion.
Answer:
3. Higher in some places and lower in other places
R1 + R4 = 1430 + 1350 = 2780 = R14 series combination of R1 & R4
R2 + R5 = 1350 + 1150 = 2500 = R25
The circuit has been reduced to 3 resistors in parallel
R314 = 2780 * 1100 / (2780 + 1100) = 788 this is the resistance of the parallel combination of R14 and R3
R31425 = 2500 * 788 / (2500 + 788) = 599 which is the equivalent of the circuit - you can also use the formula for 3 resistors in parallel but this seems simpler
