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.

Which best describes the relationship between humidity and air pressure?
spayn [35]
Answer:<span>Humid air is lighter, so it has lower pressure.

The reason is the molecules of water are H2O, whose molar mass is 18 g/mol.

These molecules displaces molecules of N2 and O2, whose molar masses are:

N2: 2*14g/mol = 28 g/mol, and
O2: 2*16g/mol = 32 g/mol.

Then molecules of 28g/mol and 32 g/mol are being replaced with molecules of 18g/mol, leading to a lower weight of the same volume of air, which results in lower pressure.

If my weight on Earth is 140lbs, what is my mass?
SashulF [63]

Answer:

63.57 kg

Explanation:

weight = 140 lbs

Let the mass  is m.

1 lbs = 4.45 N

The weight of an object is defined as the force with which our earth attracts the body towards its centre.

Weight is the product of mass of the body and the acceleration due to gravity of that planet.

W = m x g

On earth surface g = 9.8 m/s^2

Now convert lbs in newton

So, 140 lbs = 140 x 4.45 = 623 N

So, m x 9.8 = 623

m = 63.57 kg

Thus, the mass is 63.57 kg.

The lons entering the mass spectrometer have the same charges. After being accelerated through a potential difference of 8.20 kV
Ratling [72]

The calculated magnitude is  6.73 x 10³ V/m.

AMU is described as being one-twelfth the mass of a carbon-12 atom (12C). C makes up more than 98% of the carbon that can be found in nature, making it the most prevalent isotope. The magnitude of the field is the change in potential across a small distance in the indicated direction divided by that distance.

Potential difference = 8.20 kV= 8.20 x 10³ V

radius= 19.4/100=0.194 m

total distance that is circumference of the circle= 2πr =2 x 3.14 x 0.194

                                                                               = 1.218 m

therefore Magnitude= 8.20 x 10³ / 1.218

                                  =6.73 x 10³ V/m

which of the following safety harnesses is the safest and most recommended when hunting from a treestand?
Lyrx [107]

The best tree stand safety harness is the Hunter Safety System Hybrid Flex Safety Harness, with its awesome ElimiShield Scent Control Technology.

Moreover, These stands are designed to be attached directly to the tree. Hunters using a fixed or suspended stand must choose a method of climbing up and down from the platform. The safest and most used method is sectional ladders.
