Answer:

Objects between the source and observer produce possible shadows known as the umbra and the penumbra.

The umbra is a totally shadowed area, no light travels directly from the source to the observer.

The penumbra is a partially shadowed are where some of the source light travels directly to the observer an some of the source light is blocked from the observer (the object blocking the light is not a point object).

The question apparently refers to the differences seen by the observers.

The sales price of a product is $2 per unit; the variable cost is $1 per unit; and fixed costs total $1,000. how many units must

irakobra [83]

Answer:

<u><em>1000 units for breakeven</em></u>

Explanation:

Let x be the number of units sold at breakeven.

The total sales at the point would be $2x.

Variable costs would be $1x and fixed costs are $1000.

Total costs are = $1x + $1000

At breakeven: Sales = Costs

Sales =m Costs

$2x = $1x + $1000

$1x = $1000

x = 1000 units.

At 1000 units the sales are equal to the costs ("breakeven").

A disk rotates freely on a vertical axis with an angular velocity of 50 rpm . An identical disk rotates above it in the same dir

True [87]

Answer:

Final angular velocity is 35rpm

Explanation:

Angular velocity is given by the equation:

I1w1i + I2w2i = I1w1f -I2w2f

But the two disks are identical, so Ii =I2

wf can be calculated using

wf = w1i - w2i/2

Given: w1i =50rpm w2i= 30rpm

wf= (50 + 20) / 2

wf= 70/2 = 35rpm

A team of dogs accelerates a 290kg dogsled from 0 to 6.0m/s in 3.0 s. Assume that the acceleration is constant.Part AWhat is the

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

(a) $a=2m/sec^2$

(b) 5220 j

(d) 3446.66 watt

Explanation:

We have given mass m = 290 kg

Initial velocity u = 0 m/sec

Final velocity v = 6 m/sec

Time t = 3 sec

From first equation of motion

v = u+at

So $a=\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{6-0}{3}=2m/sec^2$

(a) We know that force is given by

F = ma

So force will be $F=290\times 2=580N$

(b) From second equation of motion we know that

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2=0\times 3+\frac{1}{2}\times 2\times 3^2=9m$

We know that work done is given by

W = F s = 580×9 =5220 j

We know that power is given as

$P=\frac{W}{t}=\frac{5220}{3}=1740Watt$

(d) Time t = 1.5 sec

So $P=\frac{W}{t}=\frac{5220}{1.5}=3466.66Watt$
