Answer;

= 4 m is the length of the man's shadow.

Explanation;

2/x=6/(8+x) cross multiply.

6x=2(8+x)

6x=16+2x

6x-2x=16

4x=16

x=2=16/4

x=4 m. is the length of the man's shadow.

The speed of sound in air is 331 m/s. what is the plane's speed in terms of the speed of sound?
Zina [86]
<span>The initial speed, u of plane in terms of velocity of sound which may be taken as U
u=142/331=0.429*U
It crosses the sound barrier after says t seconds then we have 331-142=23.1*t or t is given 8.18 s exactly t=9/11s.
After 18 seconds the plane will traveling with velocity V
V=142+18*23.1=557.8 m/s==1.685*U</span>
