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.

Are the two displacements equal? Explain your answer.
Sergeu [11.5K]
From the information given in the drawing, it's not possible
to tell whether the displacements are equal, because we
don't know what the vectors represent.

If the vectors are distances, then the displacements are not
equal, because the distance between the start and end points
are not equal.

If the vectors are speeds, then they don't tell us anything about
the distance between the start and end points, so we can't calculate
the displacements.

Part complete How long must a simple pendulum be if it is to make exactly one swing per five seconds?
shtirl [24]

Answer:

L=6.21m

Explanation:

For the simple pendulum problem we need to remember that:

\frac{d^{2}\theta}{dt^{2}}+\frac{g}{L}sin(\theta)=0,

where \theta is the angular position, t is time, g is the gravity, and L is the length of the pendulum. We also need to remember that there is a relationship between the angular frequency and the length of the pendulum:

\omega^{2}=\frac{g}{L},

where \omega is the angular frequency.

There is also an equation that relates the oscillation period and the angular frequeny:

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T},

where T is the oscillation period. Now, we can easily solve for L:

(\frac{2\pi}{T})^{2}=\frac{g}{L}\\\\L=g(\frac{T}{2\pi})^{2}\\\\L=9.8(\frac{5}{2\pi})^{2}\\\\L=6.21m

A stone is thrown horizontally from the top of an inclined plane (angle of inclination θ). How would I find the initial speed of
Katen [24]

Answer:

S = V t     where S is the horizontal distance traveled

1/2 g t^2 = H       where H is the vertical distance traveled

t^2 = 2 H / g

V^2 = S^2 / t^2 = S^2 g / (2 H) combining equations

tan theta = H / S

V^2 = S g / (2 tan theta)

Using S = L cos theta

V^2 = L g cos theta / (2 tan theta)

Giving V in terms of L and theta
