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.

If vector C is added to vector D, the result is a third vector that is perpendicular to D and has a magnitude equal to 3D. What

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

(e) 3.2

Explanation:

We are given that vector C and D.

Let R be the magnitude of C+D.

According to question

R=3D

We have to find the ratio of the magnitude of C to that of D.

By using right triangle property

$C^2=R^2+D^2$

$C^2=(3D)^2+D^2$

$C^2=9D^2+D^2$

$C^2=10D^2$

$C=\sqrt{10D^2}=3.2D$

$\frac{C}{D}=3.2$

Hence, the ratio of the magnitude of C to that of D=3.2

(e) 3.2

A train travels due south at 25 m/s (relative to the ground) in a rain that is blown toward the south by the wind. The path of e

olasank [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Train travels towards south with a velocity if $v_t=25\ m/s$

Rain makes an angle of $\theta =66^{o}$ with vertical

If an observer sees the drop fall perfectly vertical i.e. horizontal component of rain velocity is equal to train velocity

suppose $v_r$ is the velocity of rain with respect to ground then

$v_r\sin\theta =v_t$

$v_r\times \sin (66)=25$

$v_r=27.36\ m/s$

Therefore velocity of rain drops is 27.36 m/s
