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

#See attached photo for illustration

A proton is moved from a position where the electric potential is 125 V to a position where the electric potential is 275 V. The
kakasveta [241]
We determine the electric potential energy of the proton by multiplying the net electric potential to the charge of the proton. The net electric potential is the difference of the final state to the that of the initial state. So, it would be 275 - 125 = 150 V.

electric potential energy = 150 (<span>1.602 × 10-19) = 2.4x10^-17 J</span>

A 17 kg box sitting on a shelf has a potential energy of 350 J. How high is the shelf? Round your answer to the nearest whole nu
Free_Kalibri [48]
Potential energy is mass * gravity * height. (m*g*h).

350 = 17*9.8*h   <--350 is its energy, 17kg is its mass, and 9.8 is gravity's acceleration on the object. We now just need to solve for h.

h = 350/(17 * 9.8) =  2.1 meters, which, when rounded to the nearest whole meter, is 2 meters.

The shelf is 2 meters high.

What is the Validity measures of a basketball bouncing
kykrilka [37]

This study was aimed at testing the construct validity of the basketball basic motion skills test instrument (ITK GDBB). The research used descriptive method of 3 basketball experts in the city of Cimahi; 3 experts are the expert in basketball. The instrument used was the ITB GDBB developed by Silvy (2019) consisting of top passing, bottom passing, top service, bottom service, chest passing, bounding passing, overhead passing, and leading ball (dribbling). This instrument consists of 76 items that cover 4 domains in basketball, namely chest pass, overhead pass, bound pass, and dribbling. The validity method used the construct validity of different power types. For the reliability method, it used the Kuder Ricardson (KR) and Objectivity analysis. The results of the construct validity analysis of a total of 76 items show that the score is ranged from 0.67 to 1.00. The construct validity value of 71 items in the basketball game is in the high category (= 1.00), 5 items are in the sufficient category, the relativity score is ranged from 0.75 to 0.98, and the objectivity score is ranged from 0.89 to 0.95. The conclusion is that this test instrument can be used as a standardized basic motion skill test for standardized large ball games for validity in basic motion skills in basketball games for grade VII junior high school students.
