Answer:

<h2> 16 wheeler</h2>

Explanation:

<em>"Inertial mass is a measure of an object resistance to acceleration when a force is applied. the inertial is a function of the mass of a body.</em>

<em />

Given the following

1. Elephant

2. Ant sumo fighter

3. Toddler pickup truck

4. 16 wheeler.

<em />

The body of greater mass has greater inertia.

Of all the 4 items in the list, the 16 wheeler has the largest mass, hence it also has the greater inertial

The plane flight covers 400 miles in the first hour. As you approach the landing site, it takes you an hour to cover the last 20

9966 [12]

Miles per hour is velocity so I agree with you. Without seeing any associated question, though, it's hard to say. If the question is, find the average velocity, then velocity is correct. But since change in velocity is negative, that is also negative acceleration.

A street light is at the top of a 19 foot tall pole. A woman 5.25 feet tall walks towards the pole with a speed of 7ft/sec along

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

The tip of her shadow is moving at the speed of 9.66 ft/sec

Explanation:

The height of the street light = 19 feet

The height of the woman = 5.25 feet

Distance between the woman and the base of the pole, x = 35 ft

The speed of the woman towards the pole, dx/dt = 7ft/sec

The distance from the base of the streetlight to the tip of the woman's shadow = y

The distance from the woman to the tip of her shadow = y - x

The diagram illustrating this description is shown below

Using similar triangle:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{19}{5.25}=\text{ }\frac{y}{y-x} \\ 19(y-x)\text{ = 5.25y} \\ 19y-19x\text{ = 5.25y} \\ 19y-5.25y\text{ = 19x} \\ 13.75y\text{ = 19x} \\ y\text{ = }\frac{19}{13.75}x \\ y\text{ = }1.38x \end{gathered}$

Find the derivative of both sides with respect to time, t

$\begin{gathered} \frac{dy}{dt}=\text{ 1.38}\frac{dx}{dt} \\ \frac{dy}{dt}=\text{ 1.38(7)} \\ \frac{dy}{dt}\text{ = }9.66\text{ ft/sec} \end{gathered}$

The tip of her shadow is moving at the speed of 9.66 ft/sec

Answer:

Measurement is a comparison of an unknown quantity with a known fixed quantity of the same kind. The value obtained on measuring a quantity is called its magnitude. The magnitude of a quantity is expressed as numbers in its unit.
