Answer:

h = 30.57 m

Explanation:

given,

angle made with horizon, θ= 27°

Length of the shadow,L = 60 m

now,

the height of the tree would be equal to

$tan \theta = \dfrac{height\ of tree}{shadow\ length}$

$tan 27^0 = \dfrac{h}{60}$

h = 60 x tan 27°

h = 30.57 m

hence, height of the tree is equal to 30.57 m

A car is pushed with a force of 450 N for 19.4 seconds. What impulse was applied to the car?

harina [27]

Answer:

impulse = 8820 kg· $\frac{m}{s}$ or 8820 N·s

Explanation:

Impulse J is equal to the average force $F_{av}$ multiplied by the elapsed time Δt or in equation form, J = $F_{av}$ Δt

As long as your force of 450 N is constant then that value is your average force $F_{av}$ and your elapsed time is 19.4 seconds.

Multiply these values.

You will get an impulse of 8820 kg· $\frac{m}{s}$ or 8820 N·s.

Consider a block on a spring oscillating on a frictionless surface. The amplitude of the oscillation is 11 cm, and the speed of

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

The angular frequency of the block is ω = 5.64 rad/s

Explanation:

The speed of the block v = rω where r = amplitude of the oscillation and ω = angular frequency of the oscillation.

Now ω = v/r since v = speed of the block = 62 cm/s and r = the amplitude of the oscillation = 11 cm.

The angular frequency of the oscillation ω is

ω = v/r

ω = 62 cm/s ÷ 11 cm

ω = 5.64 rad/s

So, the angular frequency of the block is ω = 5.64 rad/s

Indiana jones (83.5 kg) is running 3.75 m/s when he jumps in a stationary 312 kg mine cart. what is their joint velocity afterwa

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

.7917 m/s

Explanation:

This is a conservation of momentum question. You have an object initially at rest (cart) so that object is initially at 0 momentum. Indiana Jones is 83.5 kg and running 3.75 m/s so he starts with a momentum of 313.125 kg * m/s because momentum is equal to mass * velocity. Once the person jumps in the cart, the cart and the person can be considered one object and by conservation of momentum, the momentum of the Indiana-cart system is equal to 313.125 kg * m/s. By that, we can set that momentum equal to the combined mass * joint velocity. So 313.125 = (83.5kg + 312kg) * joint velocity. Then just solve for the velocity. The answer should be smaller than the intial velocity of the person of 3.75 m/s because the mine cart is HUGE at 312kg.
