Answer:

Explanation:

The guy wire is making a right angled triangle  with the ground and stop sign . It makes an angle of 51 degree with the ground. In this triangle stop sign is the perpendicular and distance from the base on the ground forms the base of the triangle . Wire forms the hypotenuse.

base / hypotenuse = cos51

base = hypotenuse x cos51

= 8 x cos51

= 5.03 ft .

The distance of the stake with which guy wire was attached from the foot of the stop sign is 5.03 ft .

Estimate how long it took King Kong to fall straight down from the top of the Empire State Building (380 m high). Express your a
ankoles [38]

Answer:

It will take 8.80 sec to fall from the building

Explanation:

We have given height pf the state building h = 380 m

Initial velocity will be 0 m /sec

So u = 0 m/sec

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

We have to find the fall time

According to second equation of motion h=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

So 380=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times t^2

t^2=77.55

t = 8.80 sec

Two waves with amplitudes of 75 units and 74 units arrive at a point in a medium simultaneously. If the two waves are out of pha
avanturin [10]
If the two waves have the SAME FREQUENCY and are exactly
out of phase (180° apart), then the resultant wave will have the
same frequency and an amplitude of 1 unit.

If the two waves do not have the SAME FREQUENCY, then their
relative phase is meaningless.
