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

MAVERICK [17]
Protons do not move out of the nucleus of atoms although they repel each other.

Remember that protons are particles with positive charge and they held together in the nucleus of the atom which is a tiny tiny region. As you know, like charges repel each other, which means that the protons exert a repulsion force.

<h2>~<u>Solution</u> :-</h2>
  • Here, the <u>moment arm</u> is defined as follows;

The magnitude of two forces, which when acting at right angle produce resultant force of VlOkg and when acting at 60° produce resultant of Vl3 kg. These forces are D. gravitational force of attraction towards the centre of the earth. A sample of metal weighs 219 gms in air, 180 gms in water, 120 gms in an <em>unknown fluid</em>.

Masja [62]

According to the kinetic molecular theory, the pressure of a gas in a container will increase if the number of collisions with the container wall increases.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Keeping the volume of the vessel constant, if we increase the amount of gas in it; the pressure will increase. This is because when the number of gas particles increases in that limited volume, they hit the walls of the container with more energy and hence, the overall pressure of the gas increases.

If we decrease the amount of gas in the vessel or increase the volume for the same amount of gas, the pressure decreases. As the pressure inside the vessel depends upon the gas supplied in the container.
