A rotating light is located 13 feet from a wall. The light completes one rotation every 3 seconds. Find the rate at which the li

ght projected onto the wall is moving along the wall when the light's angle is 15 degrees from perpendicular to the wall.

Answer:

29.2 ft/s

Explanation:

The distance of the light's projection on the wall

y = 13 tan θ

where θ is the light's angle from perpendicular to the wall.

The light completes one rotation every 3 seconds, that is, 2π in 3 seconds,

Angular speed = w = (2π/3)

w = (θ/t)

θ = wt = (2πt/3)

(dθ/dt) = (2π/3)

y = 13 tan θ

(dy/dt) = 13 sec² θ (dθ/dt)

(dy/dt) = 13 sec² θ (2π/3)

(dy/dt) = (26π/3) sec² θ

when θ = 15°

(dy/dt) = (26π/3) sec² (15°)

(dy/dt) = 29.2 ft/s

A ball is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 19.0 m/s. (a) How high does it rise? m (b) How long does it take to reach its

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Initial speed= $u=19 m/s$

a. $g=9.8m/s^2$

Final velocity of ball= $v=0$

$v=u-gt$

g is negative because the ball is going against to gravity.

$0=19-9.8t$

$9.8t=19$

$t=\frac{19}{9.8}=1.94 s$

$s=ut-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Using the formula

$s=19(1.94)-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(1.94)^2$

$s=18.4 m$

a.The ball rise upto height 18.4 m

b.It take 1.94 s to reach its highest point.

c.Initial velocity=0,s=18.4 m

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$18.4=0(t)+\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2$

$18.4=4.9t^2$

$t^2=\frac{18.4}{4.9}$

$t=\sqrt{\frac{18.4}{4.9}}$

$t=1.94 s$

$v=u+gt$

Using the formula

$v=0+9.8(1.94)=19 m/s$

Multiply the following numbers, using scientific notation and the correct amount of significant digits. 1.003 m⋅3.09 = _____ 3.0

lozanna [386]

Answer

correct answer is 3.10

Explanation:

in this question we have to multiply two numbers 1.003 and 3.09.

1.003 has 4 significant digits and 3.09 has 3 significant digits so answer must have 3 significant digits.

$1.003\times 3.09=3.09927$

$1.003\times 3.09=3.10$

Hope it will help you

What would you say to a friend who made this statement, “The visible-light spectrum of the Sun shows weak hydrogen lines and str

Oliga [24]

Explanation:

spectral lines or signatures of elements depend on temperature, the temperature of the sun is about 5800 K.

at this temperature most calcium atoms are excited to higher energy states than hydrogen atoms and this means that calcium atoms are gonna have more signatures than the atoms of hydrogen.

the statement that the sun shows weak hyrogen lines and strong calcium line is wrong because at the sun's temperature most of the hydrogen atoms are in lower energy states while calcium atoms are in higher energy states hence calcium has more or ''strong'' lines than hydrogen.
