Answer:

height of house to ladder reach is 14 ft

Explanation:

Given data

ladder = 15 ft

base  = 4 ft

to find out

height of house

solution

we know this is triangle shape so we apply here

so we consider here x is ladder and y is base and z is height

so

by pythagoras theorem

z² + y² = x²

so here

z² = x² -y²

put value

z² = 15² - 4²

z² = 209

z = 14.45 = 14

so height of house to ladder reach is 14 ft

Calculate the acceleration of a car if it's velocity increases from 15 m/s to 75m/s in 5 seconds. ​
Andreas93 [3]
  • initial velocity=u=15m/s
  • Final velocity=v=75m/s
  • Time=t=5s

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{75-15}{5}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{60}{5}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=12m/s^2

Rock X is released from rest at the top of a cliff that is on Earth. A short time later, Rock Y is released from rest from the s
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

C) True. S increases with time, v₁ = gt and v₂ = g (t-t₀)  we see that for the same t v₁> v₂

Explanation:

You have several statements and we must select which ones are correct. The best way to do this is to raise the problem.

Let's use the vertical launch equation. The positive sign because they indicate that the felt downward is taken as an opponent.

Stone 1

    y₁ = v₀₁ t + ½ g t²

    y₁ = 0 + ½ g t²

Rock2

It comes out a little later, let's say a second later, we can use the same stopwatch

     t ’= (t-t₀)

    y₂ = v₀₂ t ’+ ½ g t’²

    y₂ = 0 + ½ g (t-t₀)²

    y₂ = + ½ g (t-t₀)²

Let's calculate the distance between the two rocks, it should be clear that this equation is valid only for t> = to

    S = y₁ -y₂

    S = ½ g t²– ½ g (t-t₀)²

    S = ½ g [t² - (t²- 2 t to + to²)]  

    S = ½ g (2 t t₀ - t₀²)

    S = ½ g t₀ (2 t -t₀)

This is the separation of the two bodies as time passes, the amount outside the Parentheses is constant.

For t <to.  The rock y has not left and the distance increases

For t> = to.  the ratio (2t/to-1)> 1 therefore the distance increases as time

passes

Now we can analyze the different statements

A) false. The difference in height increases over time

B) False S increases

C) Certain s increases with time, v₁ = gt and V₂ = g (t-t₀) we see that for the same t   v₁> v₂
