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 .

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

293k

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the temperature to which the reaction must be heated to double the equilibrium constant.

To find this value, we will need to use the Van’t Hoff equation.

2. In the activities below indicate if friction is useful or not useful? Explain your answer. i. Writing yes it is useful becaus
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Please find the answer in the explanation

Explanation:

Friction is a force that opposes motion. One or two of the advantages of friction are break and ability of an object to walk.

Writing yes it is useful because when your writing because friction helps you see what your writing

ii. Rubbing. Yes, it is useful.

friction make it possible for two object to rub each other

iii. Skiing. No. It is not useful because With presence of friction, skiing will not be possible.

iv. Rotating a wheel No. It is not useful because Friction will oppose the rotation of the wheel.

A 7.36 g sample of copper is contaminated with a additional 0.51 g sample of zinc. Suppose an atomic mass measurement was perfor
yawa3891 [41]
The molar mass of the sample is equal to the summation of the molar mass of the elementas multiplied by the abundance of the elements by mole. In this case, copper has an abundance of 93.69 percent while zinc has 6.31 percent. In this case, the average molecular weight is 63.67 g/mol

What is number 30,31 in this picture?
Maslowich
On question 30, that is a displacement- time graph (DT). On this type of graph the gradient is equal to the velocity. B has the steepest gradient, then A and finally C

Now velocity is a vector quantity so it has a direction and speed ( speed doesn't have a fixed direction.)

on the DT graph im going to assume that movement B is a positive velocity with A and C being negative. 
So by ranking these: A is the most negative, C is the least negative and B has to be the greatest as it is the only positive velocity. 

Q31, The same type of graph is present, by looking at the gradients we can rank the largest and smallest velocities- speeds in the case of the question. 
i'll skip my working out as its the same as before:

C, B, A and then D

the same idea as on Q30 applies to Q31 part b, 

D,C,B then A
