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 ball is projected horizontally from the top the building.One second later another ball is projected horizontally from the same
stellarik [79]

The point In the motion that the balls will be closest to each other is as at the time as the second ball is thrown or lunched.

<h3>Will the first ball always be travelling faster than the second ball?</h3>

No, The two motions are said to be parallel to one another, so they that they both the same timing. Hence, the time it takes for both balls to be able to fall to the ground is said to be the same.

Yes, the both balls have the same speed because of  two balls are said to hit the ground, they are said to be done at the same height as well as the same energy and so they have the same speed.

Note that balls will take about 2 seconds to be able to hit the ground.

The horizontal projection velocity of the second ball can be changed so that the balls arrive at the ground at the same time and so the balls will be closest to one another if the second ball is thrown.

How quickly a leaf grows is proportional how big [ie the surface area] the leaf is. If the area of the leaf grows from 2cm2 to 3
marusya05 [52]

Answer: 9 days

Explanation:

  • Step 1

Let the rate of Leaf growth <em>r</em> be defined as, \frac{Increase  in  area}{time taken} = \frac{A1 - A}{t}

where <em>A</em> is initial area of the leaf, <em>A1</em> is the final area of the leaf and<em> t</em> is the time taken for the increase in Area.

  • Express the proportional relationship in equation.

Given that rate of leaf growth, r is proportional to the surface area of the leaf A. we have r ∝ A.

r = kA, where k is the rate constant.

therefore, k = \frac{r}{A}

when A = 2cm^{2}, A1 = 3

so k = \frac{\frac{3 - 2}{3}}{2}

= \frac{1}{3} ÷ 2

= 0.33 ÷ 2

k = 0.167

  • After calculating the rate constant k, we then find the time t when A1 is 5cm^{2}
  • we have r = k × A1 = \frac{A1 - A}{t}

so, 0.167 × 2 = \frac{5 - 2}{t}

0.33 = \frac{3}{t}.

t = 3/0.33

Therefore, t = 9 days.

Why are springs made of steel and not of copper.​
torisob [31]

Answer:

Springs are made of a variety of materials including copper and various forms of steel. The most common is high carbon steel as it is cheap, easy to work and a couple of other important properties.

Copper springs exist as well, but copper is more expensive than steel. However, in an environment where corrosion resistance is important, copper springs are a good alternative.
