Answer:

The wire meet the ground at an angle of 56.4 degrees

Explanation:

It is given that,

To support a tree damaged in a storm, a 12-foot wire is secured from the ground to the tree at a point 10 feet off the ground.

The hypotenuse is, H = 12 foot

The perpendicular distance is, P = 10 feet

The angle between the tree and the ground is 90 degrees

Using Pythagoras theorem as :

sin\theta=\dfrac{P}{H}

sin\theta=\dfrac{10}{12}

\theta=56.4^{\circ}

So, the wire meet the ground at an angle of 56.4 degrees. Hence, the correct option is (d).

Estimate (a) the maximum, and (b) the minimum thermal conductivity values (in W/m-K) for a cermet that contains 83 vol% carbide
velikii [3]

Answer:

  k_max = 31.82 w/mk

  k_min  = 17.70 w/mk

Explanation:

a) the maximum thermal conductivity is given as

k_{max} = k_m*v_m + k_p*v_p

where k_m is thermal conductvitiy of metal

k_p is thermal conductvitiy of carbide

v_m = proportion of metal in the cement = 0.17

v_p = proportion of carbide in the cement = 0.83

            = 66*0.17 + 28*0.83

           k_max = 31.82 w/mk

b) the minimum thermal conductivity is given as

k_{min} = \frac{k_{carbide}* k_{metal}}{k_{metal} v_{carbide} +k_{metal} v_{carbide}}

          = \frac{28+66}{28*0.17 +66*0.83}

       k_min  = 17.70 w/mk

How do you graph distance and time for an object that moves at a constant speed?
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

It would be a straight line

Explanation:

On a distance-time graph, an object that moves at constant speed would be represented by a straight line.

In fact, in a distance-time graph, the slope of the line corresponds to the speed of the object. We can demonstrate that. In fact:

- The speed of the object is equal to the ratio between the distance covered (\Delta s) and the time taken (\Delta t):

v=\frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}

On a distance-time graph, the distance is on the y-axis while the time is on the x-axis. The slope of the line is defined as:

m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}

But the variation on the y-axis (\Delta y) is equal to the distance covered (\Delta s), while the variation on the x-axis (\Delta x) corresponds to the time taken (\Delta t), so the slope can also be rewritten as

m=\frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}

which is equal to the speed of the object. Therefore, an object moving at constant speed would be represented by a line with constant slope, which means a straight line.

What does the straight line in a transverse wave represent
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Straight line in a transverse wave represents the mean position of oscillating energy parameter at which the instantaneous amplitude is zero.

Explanation:

  • A transverse wave is one in which the direction of propagation is perpendicular to the direction of oscillating energy vector.
  • The transverse wave having a horizontal straight line represents the line of zero amplitude of oscillation.
  • <em>When in graphical representation the curve intercepts this horizontal line then the amplitude of the oscillation and the phase of the wave becomes whole number multiple of 2π and as we know that the periodic oscillations are represented as a sinusoidal function which leads the amplitude to zero.</em>
