Answer:In order for object to be accelerating, the net force (sum of all forces) acting on the object has to be non-zero. According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, Force = Mass x Acceleration. ... If the object is sitting motionless on the ground, then the net force (sum of all forces) acting on it is zero.

A street light is at the top of a 13.0 ft. tall pole. A man 6.3 ft tall walks away from the pole with a speed of 3.5 feet/sec al
amm1812

Answer:

\dfrac{dL}{dt}=5.82 \ ft/s

Explanation:

given,

street light height = 13 ft

man height = 6.3 ft

speed of the man = 3.5 ft/sec

\dfrac{H}{L} = \dfrac{h}{l}

\dfrac{H}{L} = \dfrac{h}{L-x}

\dfrac{L}{H} = \dfrac{L-x}{h}

hL = H(L-x)

hL = HL-Hx

L = \dfrac{Hx}{H-h}

L = \dfrac{13x}{13-6.3}

L = 1.94 x

\dfrac{dL}{dt}=\dfrac{dL}{dx}\dfrac{dx}{dt}

\dfrac{dL}{dt}=1.94\times 3

\dfrac{dL}{dt}=5.82 \ ft/s

A person is listening with his ear against the rail for an oncoming train. When the train is 1.65 km away, how long will it take
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Time = 0.317 seconds.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance = 1.65km to meters = 1.65 * 1000 = 1650 meters

We know that the speed of sound in steel is equal to 5200m/s

To find the time to hear the sound of the whistle;

Time = distance/speed

Substituting into the equation, we have

Time = 1650/5200

Time = 0.317 seconds.

Therefore, it will take him 0.317 seconds to hear the sound of the whistle.

Identify one type of electromagnetic energy that has a shorter wave length than green light
11111nata11111 [884]
When you look at the acronym ROY G. BIV, you get the wavelengths from longest to shortest.  Since Green is in the middle of ROY G. BIV, anything to the right of it would have a shorter wavelength.  You can choose in the visible range Blue, Indigo, or Violet.

Rarefaction occurs only in a _______ wave.
Olenka [21]

<u>Answers
</u>

1) B. longitudinal.

2) B. air is cooler than the ground.

<u>Explanation
</u>

Q1

There are two categories of a wave. That is transverse and longitudinal waves. Transverse waves forms crests and troughs while longitudinal forms compressions and rarefaction as they travel. Rarefactions are regions where the wavelengths are longer than other regions.

Q2

As the ray of light moves from an optically less dense to a more dense region it bends towards the normal.

If the sound is bending away from the earth's surface, then the ground must be warmer than the air. As the sound travels it moves from optically dense medium to a less dense medium. For this reason it bends away from the normal. This can only happen when, B. air is cooler than the ground.
