Well, you could easily sow that for every full meter of height of the object, the length of the corresponding shadow would be 50 centimeters longer. therefore, you can multiply 8.50 meters by 1.5 and you would get an answer of 12.75 meters

You push against a steamer trunk with a force of 800 n at an angle alpha with the horizontal . the trunk is on a flat floor and
galina1969 [7]
The formula for this problem that we will be using is:
F * cos α = m * g * μs where:F = 800m = 87g = 9.8
cos α = m*g*μs/F= 87*9.8*0.55/800= 0.59 So solving the alpha, find the arccos above.
α = arccos 0.59 = 54 ° is the largest value of alpha

A loaded barge has a mass of 1 500 000 kg and is traveling at 3 m/s. If a tugboat applies an opposing force of 12 000 N for 10 s
yan [13]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial momentum is 1.5e6(3) = 4.5e6 kg•m/s

An impulse results in a change of momentum

The tug applied impulse is 12000(10) = 120000 N•s or 0.12e6 kg•m/s

The remaining momentum is 4.5e6 - 0.12e6 =  4.38e6 kg•m/s

The barge velocity is now 4.38e6 / 1.5e6 = 2.92 m/s

The tug applies 0.012e6 N•s of impulse each second.

The initial barge momentum will be zero in

t = 4.5e6 / 0.012e6 = 375 s or 6 minutes and 15 seconds

To stop the barge in one minute(60 s), the tug would have to apply

4.5e6 / 60 = 75000 N•s /s or 75 000 N

What must happen to the temperature of a material for thermal expansion to occur.
Aloiza [94]
In most cases the temperature must increase for thermal expansion to occur. Most substances expand as temperature increases because the atoms or molecules vibrate faster as temperature increases and experience greater separation.

The gravitational force strength on the moon is 1.63N/Kg if the rock on the moon weighs 200N how much does the same rock weigh o
FromTheMoon [43]

m = Q(on moon) * G(on moon) = 200N * 1.63N/kg = 326kg

Q(Earth)= g * m = 10m/s2 * 326kg = 3260N
