(1 point) A street light is at the top of a 25 ft pole. A 4 ft tall girl walks along a straight path away from the pole with a s

peed of 6 ft/sec. At what rate is the tip of her shadow moving away from the light (ie. away from the top of the pole) when the girl is 45 ft away from the pole?

Answer:

\frac{dx}{dt}=7.14m/s

Explanation:

As is showed at the figure annexed, we can solve this problem finding the relation between the girl displacement and the shadow displacement.

Relation the triangles (see figure annexed):

\frac{x}{H}=\frac{x-y}{h}\\x=\frac{H}{H-h}y

We derive in order to find the speed of the shadow, because:

dx/dt: shadow's speed

dy/dt: girl's speed

\frac{dx}{dt} =\frac{25}{25-4}*6=7.14m/s

In the simulation above, as the projectile travels upward, how does the vertical velocity change? Question 9 options:
enot [183]

Answer:

Vertical velocity decreases.

Explanation:

The motion of the ball is a projectile ball, which consists of two independent motions:

- a horizontal motion, with constant velocity

- a vertical motion, with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground

In the vertical motion, there is a constant acceleration directed downward: this means that the vertical velocity decreases as the ball goes higher. In fact, it decreases following the equation

v(t)=v_0 -gt

And it decreases until the ball reaches its maximum height, then it starts increasing again.

if you jump from a window that is 2 meters up you will most likely break the bones in your legs when you land however on a tramp
Gemiola [76]
<span>The de-acceleration or negative acceleration of stopping is what damages bones. The ground is rigid and therefore the change in momentum when striking the ground will be large. On the trampoline, the elasticity of the material means that the momentum changes more slowly, resulting in smaller accelerations.</span>

You have family members and the relationship you observed in childhood affects the quality of your current relationships?
Ghella [55]

Answer:

Yes, the relationships you observe in childhood affects the quality of your current relationships.

Explanation:

The saying,<em> "Children see, children do,"</em> is evidently true. A child's lifestyle and future relationships are greatly affected by the kind of relationships you allow him to see. Thus, it is very important that parents become role models for their kids.

For example, when your parents handle stress by shouting at each other, then most likely you'd also handle stress the same way in the future. So,<em> it is essential that the role models will show the child how to handle stress positively.</em> The experiences that children have at a young age affects their adult life.<u> It influences them and shapes them into who they will become.</u>

If people at home show positive relationships with each other and also supports a child regarding his education, then the child will most likely set positive relationships with his peers and achieve higher degree standards.

Thus, this explains the answer.

suggest an experiment to prove that the rate of evaporation of a liquid depends on its surface area vapour already present in su
gulaghasi [49]
That's two different things it depends on:

-- surface area exposed to the air
AND
-- vapor already present in the surrounding air.

Here's what I have in mind for an experiment to show those two dependencies:

-- a closed box with a wall down the middle, separating it into two closed sections;

-- a little round hole in the east outer wall, another one in the west outer wall,
and another one in the wall between the sections;
So that if you wanted to, you could carefully stick a soda straw straight into one side,
through one section, through the wall, through the other section, and out the other wall.

-- a tiny fan that blows air through a tube into the hole in one outer wall.

<u>Experiment A:</u>

-- Pour 1 ounce of water into a narrow dish, with a small surface area.
-- Set the dish in the second section of the box ... the one the air passes through
just before it leaves the box.
-- Start the fan.
-- Count the amount of time it takes for the 1 ounce of water to completely evaporate.
=============================
-- Pour 1 ounce of water into a wide dish, with a large surface area.
-- Set the dish in the second section of the box ... the one the air passes through
just before it leaves the box.
-- Start the fan.
-- Count the amount of time it takes for the 1 ounce of water to completely evaporate.
=============================
<span><em>Show that the 1 ounce of water evaporated faster </em>
<em>when it had more surface area.</em></span>
============================================
============================================

<u>Experiment B:</u>

-- Again, pour 1 ounce of water into the wide dish with the large surface area.
-- Again, set the dish in the second half of the box ... the one the air passes
through just before it leaves the box.
-- This time, place another wide dish full of water in the <em>first section </em>of the box,
so that the air has to pass over it before it gets through the wall to the wide dish
in the second section.  Now, the air that's evaporating water from the dish in the
second section already has vapor in it before it does the job.
-- Start the fan.
-- Count the amount of time it takes for the 1 ounce of water to completely evaporate.
==========================================
<em>Show that it took longer to evaporate when the air </em>
<em>blowing over it was already loaded with vapor.</em>
==========================================
