An 8 foot metal guy wire is attached to a broken stop sign to secure its position until repairs can be made. Attached to a stake

in the ground, the guy wire makes an angle of 51º with the ground. How far from the foot of the stop sign is the stake, to the nearest tenth of a foot?

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 .

A 1090 kg car moving +11.0 m/s
stiks02 [169]

The mass of the second car is 1434.21 kg

<u>Explanation:</u>

Using law of conservation of momentum,

          m_{1} u_{1}+m_{2} u_{2}=\left(m_{1}+m_{2}\right) v

Given:

m_{1} = 1090 kg

u_{1} = 11 m/s

u_{2} = 0

v = 4.75 m/s

We need to find m_{2}

When substituting the given values in the above equation, we get

(1090 \times 11)+\left(m_{2} \times 0\right)=\left(1090+m_{2}\right) 4.75

11990=5177.5+4.75 m_{2}

4.75 m_{2}=11990-5177.5

4.75 m_{2}=6812.5

m_{2}=\frac{6812.5}{4.75}=1434.21 \mathrm{kg}

Which of the following methods has led to the earliest discoveries of massive planets orbiting near their parent stars a. detect
Mrac [35]

Answer:

c. detecting the gravitational effect of an orbiting planet (The Wobble"") by looking for the Doppler shifts in the star's spectrum

Explanation:

In a solar system the mass of the star and planets affect each other's orbital  movements. The center of gravity of a star and a planet is inside the star. This causes the star to be closer and farther from the Earth at different times. Due to this wobble the star appears to be red shifted when it is farther and blue shifted when it is closer.

When the mass of the planet is high, like a hot Jupiter it causes more wobble i.e., change in radial velocity. This makes it easier to detect the planet. The earliest hot Jupiter found by this method is the planet 51 Pegasi b.
