Answer:

D. Meters/Seconds

Explanation:

The time period of a wave is measured in seconds.

A typical wave involves both time and distance. Consider a sound wave, which is basically a periodic modulation of the local air pressure. We "hear" the sound because our ears respond to the variations of pressure.

The most common metric of a sound wave is frequency. This is the rate at which the change in pressure occurs, and is measured in cycles per second, formally known as "hertz". The period is the inverse of frequency andl has the units of seconds per cycle, commonly stated simply as seconds.

A ladder 10 ft long rests against a vertical wall. If the bottom of the ladder slides away from the wall at a rate of 1.4 ft/s,

Art [367]

Answer:

$\dfrac{d\theta}{dt} =-0.233\ rad/s$

Explanation:

given,

length of ladder = 10 ft

let x be the distance of the bottom and y be the distance of the top of ladder.

x² + y² = 100

differentiating with respect to time we get

$2 x\dfrac{dx}{dt}+2y\dfrac{dy}{dt} = 0$ ..............(1)

when x = 8 and y = 6 and when \dfrac{dx}{dt} = 1.4ft/s

from equation (1)

now,

$16\times 1.4 + 12\dfrac{dy}{dt} = 0$

$\dfrac{dy}{dt} = -\dfrac{5.6}{3}$

let the angle between the ladders be θ

$tan\theta = \dfrac{y}{x}$

y = xtan θ

$\dfrac{dy}{dt} =\dfrac{dy}{dt} tan\theta + x sec^2\theta\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}$

$-\dfrac{5.6}{3} =1.4\times \dfrac{6}{8} + 8 (1+\dfrac{9}{16})\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}$

$\dfrac{25}{2} \dfrac{d\theta}{dt} =\dfrac{-17.5}{6}$

$\dfrac{d\theta}{dt} =-0.233\ rad/s$

Help!!! Line B touches the circle at a single point. Line A extends through the center of the circle.

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

If I understand correctly. Line B is parallel to the circle. Also, the angle is less than 90.

The size of the circle determines.
The diameter should not be fixed either.

Plants make food through photosynthesis, and photosynthesis takes place mostly in plant leaves, but when plants lose their leave

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

The answer is not B or D because they need light co2 and water to make their food so B and D are out. and unless someone is walking during winter to feed it. It will not be A so the answer is C.
