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 .

What are some ways that electric fields are similar to magnetic fields?
sattari [20]

Answer:

The correct answers are the proportionality of the fields concerning distance, vector fields, and forces at a distance.

Explanation:

The similarities between magnetic fields and electric fields are that electric fields are produced by two charges that can be positive and negative. Magnetic fields are associated with two magnetic poles, although they are also produced by moving charges. Both fields are inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the sources, both fields are vectorial and both act by distant forces.

Have a nice day!

Where must an object be placed to form an image 30.0 cm from a diverging lens with a focal length of 43.0 cm?
Schach [20]
Using lens equation;

1/o + 1/i = 1/f; where o = Object distance, i = image distance (normally negative), f = focal length (normally negative)

Substituting;

1/o + 1/-30 = 1/-43 => 1/o = -1/43 + 1/30 = 0.01 => o = 1/0.01 = 99.23 cm

Therefore, the object should be place 99.23 cm from the lens.

After getting a haircut, Joey’s barber spins him around in his barber’s chair 2 times per second. Is period or frequency given?
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

This figure given is the frequency; 2 times per second represents frequency.

What is frequency?

  • It is the number of times per seconds something goes past or around another.

 it is expressed as:

            Frequency  = \frac{n}{t}

                  where n is the number of turns

                              t is the time taken

  Therefore, the Barber spinned him 2 times in 1 second.

The period is the inverse of frequency. It is the time taken for a body to go through a point;

              Period  = \frac{t}{n }   = \frac{1}{f}    = \frac{1}{2}s
