Answer:

s=(15-x)m

Explanation:

Let the distance from spotlight to wall be 15m, and distance from the man to the building be x.

#Therefore the height of the shadow as a function of the above is s=(15-x )m

Hence, height of the shadow is expressed as s=(15-x)m

A 150 kg car hits a wall with 45 N of force, what was its acceleration?​
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

a = 0.3 m/s²

Explanation:

Given: 45 N, 150 kg

To find: a

Formula: a = \frac{F}{m}

Solution: To find a, divide the force by the weight  

A = F ÷ m

=  45 ÷  150

= 0.3 m/s²

Newtons are derived units, equal to 1 kg-m/s². In other words, a single Newton is equal to the force needed to accelerate one kilogram one meter per second squared.

What is the refractive index of air if light travels through it at 3.0 108 m/s?
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

n = c/v = (3.00 x 108 m/s)/(2.76 x 108 m/s) = 1.09. This does not equal any of the indices of refraction listed in the table.

The distance from Earth to the star Epsilon Eridani is about 10.5 light years. Which of the following statements is true?
Simora [160]
<span>The correct answer is B. - It would take a ray of light 10.5 light years to travel from Earth to Epsilon Eridani, or vice-versa. Using our current technology it would take far longer than 21.0 years for a space ship from Earth to travel that far - I would have to guess many hundreds of years.</span>
