I'm basically making a triangle, and I know (or at least I'm hoping) that the shadow is the horizontal component of the vector that is the hawk's flight. If it's 60 degrees below the "horizontal" or, the way I see it, the "line of sight", the direction is equivalent to 300 degrees if making an imaginary coordinate grid at the point before she descends, making the h.c. = 5.00cos300. Or, actually, the entire thing is a 30-60-90 triangle, so the velocity of her shadow is 2.5 m/s.

The shadow that will be protected on the ground will represent the hawk's horizontal position. therefore it will move at the hawk's horizontal velocity component, which is:
5*cos(60) = 2.5 m/s

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

A = 2.36m/s

B = 3.71m/s²

C = 29.61m/s2

Explanation:

First, we convert the diameter of the ride from ft to m

10ft = 3m

Speed of the rider is the

v = circumference of the circle divided by time of rotation

v = [2π(D/2)]/T

v = [2π(3/2)]/4

v = 3π/4

v = 2.36m/s

Radial acceleration can also be found as a = v²/r

Where v = speed of the rider

r = radius of the ride

a = 2.36²/1.5

a = 3.71m/s²

If the time of revolution is halved, then radial acceleration is

A = 4π²R/T²

A = (4 * π² * 3)/2²

A = 118.44/4

A = 29.61m/s²

vaieri [72.5K]
We know, Potential Energy = m * g * h
Here, mass & gravity would be same, but their height will change so it will be:

ΔU = U₂ - U₁
ΔU = mgh₂ - mgh₁
ΔU = mg (h₂ - h₁)

Hope this helps!

Q1. After three half-lives of an isotope, 1 billion of the original isotope's atoms still remain in a certain amount of this ele
77julia77 [94]
 <span>If 1 eighth equals 1 billion 7 eighth equals 7 billion. 

The asker of the second question needs a tutorial in radiometric dating. There is little likelihood that the daughter isotope has the same atomic weight as the parent isotope. To measure the mass isotopes doesn't tell us how many atoms of each exist. To get around that let's pretend — which will likely serve the purpose ineptly intended — that the values give an the particle ratio, 125:875. 

The original parent isotope count was 125 + 875 = 1000. The remaining parent isotope is 125/1000 or 1/8. 1/8 = (1/2)^h, where h is the number of half-lives. 

h = log (1/8) ÷ log(1/2) = 3 

And 3 half-lives • 150,000 years/half-life = 450,000 years.</span>
