3 0

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.

What is the minimum tangential velocity a space station would need to simulate earth gravity if the radius is 50 meters ?
Aneli [31]

Explanation:

angular velocity is given by

w =  \sqrt{ \frac{g}{r} }

w =  \sqrt{ \frac{9.8}{25} }

w = 0.626

now tangential velocity is

V = rw

= 25 x 0.626

= 15.65 m/s

1. A student is biking to school. She travels 0.7 km north, then realizes something has fallen out of her bag.
Snezhnost [94]

Explanation:

(a) Displacement of an object is the shortest path covered by it.

In this problem, a student is biking to school. She travels 0.7 km north, then realizes something has fallen out of her bag.  She travels 0.3 km south to retrieve her item. She then travels 0.4 mi north to arrive at school.

0.4 miles = 0.64 km

displacement = 0.7-0.3+0.64 = 1.04 km

(b) Average velocity = total displacement/total time

t = 15 min = 0.25 hour

v=\dfrac{1.04\ km}{0.25\ h}\\\\v=4.16\ km/h

Hence, this is the required solution.

A stone is dropped from rest from the top of a building. It takes Δt = 2.2 s for it to reach the ground.
NeTakaya

Answer:

Value of magnitude of acceleration will be 9.8m/sec^2

Explanation:

It is given that when a stone is dropped it takes 2.2 sec to reach the ground

(a) As the stone is dropped from the top of building

So its initial velocity u_i will be 0 m /sec

(b) As the stone is free falling and there is no external force applied on it so its acceleration will be equal to acceleration due to gravity

So value of magnitude of acceleration will be equal to 9.8m/sec^2

What is the difference between a homogeneous mixture and heterogeneous mixture?
Semenov [28]
Homogenous mixtures don't have visible constituents. An example of this would be water.

Heterogenous ones have visible constituents and an example would be if you put some dirt in water and then it wouldn't mix properly and you could see the dirt in it.
