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 source is considered a primary source of scientific information? an original research article in a scientific journal a re
Nitella [24]
The primary source would be the original article published in a scientific journal. All other choices would be based on information from the original article.

Newspapers would only pick up the information from the journal itself, or from the authors. Books follow after the original article, after it has gained momentum among the research community. The public lecture at a museum would be based on work from the journal article.

A foot player runs 1.6m/s and has a KE of 790 J. What is his mass?
Mariana [72]
The equation for kinetic energy is,

Ke = (1/2)mv^2.

You're given a kinetic energy of 790 joules, and a speed of 1.6 m/s. Plugging these values into the equation, we get,

790 = (1/2)(1.6)^2(m).

Solving for m, we get,

m = (790)/(0.5(1.6)^2).

I'll let you crunch out those numbers for yourself :D

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Hope this helps!

What happens when air from the balloon has exited the balloon? <br><br><br> How will motion change?​
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

When you release the opening of the balloon, gas quickly escapes to equalize the pressure inside with the air pressure outside of the balloon. The escaping air exerts a force on the balloon itself. ... That opposing force—called thrust, in this case—propels the rocket forward.

What are all stars made of
ivolga24 [154]
Stars are huge celestial bodies made mostly of hydrogen and helium that produce light and heat from the churning nuclear forges inside their cores. Aside from our sun, the dots of light we see in the sky are all light-years from Earth. They are the building blocks of galaxies, of which there are billions in the universe. It’s impossible to know how many stars exist, but astronomers estimate that in our Milky Way galaxy alone, there are about 300 billion.
