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 parallel circuit has a total current of 4 Amperes and an equivalent resistance of .5 Ohms. What is the power in this circuit?
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

=8.0 Watts

Explanation:

Power is a ratio of work done over time. The power in an electric circuit is calculated using the following formula:

P=I²R

P is power, I is  current, R is resistance

Therefore,  Power= 4²ₓ 0.5Ω

=8.0 Watts

Two friends, barbara and neil, are out rollerblading. with respect to the ground, barbara is skating due south at a speed of 5.9
Semmy [17]
<span>As seen by Barbara, Neil is traveling at a velocity of 6.1 m/s at and angle of 76.7 degrees north from due west. Let's assume that both Barbara and Neil start out at coordinate (0,0) and skate for exactly 1 second. Where do they end up? Barbara is going due south at 5.9 m/s, so she's at (0,-5.9) Neil is going due west at 1.4 m/s, so he's at (-1.4,0) Now to see Neil's relative motion to Barbara, compute a translation that will place Barbara back at (0,0) and apply that same translation to Neil. Adding (0,5.9) to their coordinates will do this. So the translated coordinates for Neil is now (-1.4, 5.9) and Barbara is at (0,0). The magnitude of Neil's velocity as seen by Barbara is sqrt((-1.4)^2 + 5.9^2) = sqrt(1.96 + 34.81) = sqrt(36.77) = 6.1 m/s The angle of his vector relative to due west will be atan(5.9/1.4) = atan(4.214285714) = 76.7 degrees So as seen by Barbara, Neil is traveling at a velocity of 6.1 m/s at and angle of 76.7 degrees north from due west.</span>

A man standing on a scale in an elevator notices that the scale reads 30 newtons greater than his normal weight. Which type of m
damaskus [11]
An upwards acceleration of the elevator would cause this greater reading since the scale displays the Normal Force of the object on it. The inertia of the person would prefer to stay stationary, so the scale must push up on the person to accelerate him upward along with the elevator. This results in the following equation:

W = mg + ma

Where mg represents the weight reading without external acceleration and ma as the weight reading due to the external acceleration.
