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

Juan lives 100 m away from Bill.What is Juan's averege speed if he reaches Bill's home in 50 s?
Tom [10]
Juan lives a hundred miles away from Bill then the average speed that he reaches Bill's Home in 50 seconds means that Juan lives 50 seconds away from bill because 50 + 50 seconds equals 100 seconds so Juansorry my bad Juan lives 50 miles away from Belle but he probably how I must have run to get to bill in 50 seconds .

A pair of slits separated by 1 mm, are illuminated with monochromatic light of wavelength 411 nm. The light falls on a screen 1.
Ilya [14]

Answer:

t = 0.192 \mu m

Explanation:

Path difference due to a transparent slab is given as

\Delta x = (\mu - 1) t

here we know that

\mu = 1.79

now total shift in the bright fringe is given as

Shift = \frac{D(\mu - 1)t}{d}

Also we know that the fringe width of maximum intensity is given as

\delta x = \frac{\lambda D}{d}

now we have

\frac{D}{d} = \frac{\delta x}{\lambda}

now the shift is given as

Shift = \frac{(\mu - 1) t \delta x}{\lambda}

given that the shift is

Shift = 0.37 \delta x

here we have

0.37 \delta x = \frac{(\mu - 1) t \delta x}{\lambda}

now plug in all values in it

0.37 = \frac{(1.79 - 1) t}{411 \times 10^{-9}}

t = 0.192 \times 10^{-6} m

t = 0.192 \mu m

Density of water 1000kgper m^3 What will be the volume of 3500<br>kg water​
skad [1K]

Answer:

<em>The volume of water is 3.5 cubic meter</em>

Explanation:

<u>Density </u>

The density of a substance or material is the mass per unit volume. The density varies with temperature and pressure.

The formula to calculate the density of a substance of mass (m) and volume (V) is:

\displaystyle \rho=\frac{m}{V}

We are given the density of water as \rho=1,000\ kg/m^3.It's required to find the volume of m=3,500 kg of water. Solving for V:

\displaystyle V=\frac{m}{\rho}

\displaystyle V=\frac{3,500}{1,000}

V=3.5\ m^3

The volume of water is 3.5 cubic meter
