a street light is mounted at the top of a 15 foot pole. A man 6 ft tall walks away from the pole wit a speed of 7 ft/s along a s

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

16.3 ft/s

Explanation:

Let d=distance

and

x = length of shadow.

Therfore,

x=(d + x)

= 6/15

So,

15x = 6x + 6d

9x = 6d.

x = (2/3)d.

As we know that:

dx=dt

= (2/3) (d/dt)

Also,

Given:

d(d)=dt

= 7 ft/s

Thus,

d(d + x)=dt

= (7/3)d (d/dt)

Substitute, d= 7

d(d + x) = 49/3 ft/s.

Hence,

d(d + x) = 16.3 ft/s.

If an object is thrown in an upward direction from the top of a building 160 ft. High at an initial speed of 21.82 mi/h what is

viktelen [127]

To solve this problem we are going to use tow kinematic equations for falling objects.
1. Kinematic equation for final velocity: $V_{f}=V_{i}+gt$
where
$V_{f}$ is the final velocity
$V_{i}$ is the initial velocity
$g$ is the acceleration due to gravity $32 \frac{ft}{s^2}$
$t$ is the time
2. Kinematic equation for distance: $d=V_{i}t+ \frac{1}{2} gt^2$
where
$d$ is the distance
$V_{i}$ is the initial velocity
$V_{f}$ is the final velocity
$g$ is the acceleration due to gravity $32 \frac{ft}{s^2}$
$t$ is the time

First, we are going to convert 21.82 mi/h to ft/s:
$21.82 \frac{mi}{h} =31.21 \frac{ft}{s}$

Next, we are going to use the first equation to find how long it takes for the rock to reach its maximum height.
We know for our problem that the object is thrown in upward direction, so its velocity at its maximum height (before falling again) will be zero; therefore: $V_{f}=0$ . We also know that it initial speed is 31.21 ft/s, so $V_{i}=31.21$ . Lets replace those values in our formula to find $t$ :
$V_{f}=V_{i}+gt$
$0=31.21+(-32)t$
$-32t=-31.21$
$t= \frac{-31.21}{-32}$
$t=0.98$ seconds

Next, we are going to use that time in our second kinematic equation to find the distance the object reach at its maximum height:
$d=V_{i}t+ \frac{1}{2} gt^2$
$d=31.21(0.98)+ \frac{1}{2} (-32)(0.98)^2$
$d=15.22$ ft

Now we can add the height of the building and the maximum height of the object:
$d=160+15.22=175.22$ ft

Next, we are going to use that height (distance) in our second kinematic equation one more time to fin how long it takes for the object to fall from its maximum height to the ground:
$d=V_{i}t+ \frac{1}{2} gt^2$
$175.22=31.21t+ \frac{1}{2} (32)t^2$
$16t^2+31.21t-175.22=0$
$t=2.47$ or $t=-4.43$
Since time cannot be negative, $t=2.47$ is the time it takes the object to fall to the ground.

Finally, we can use that time in our first kinematic equation to find the final speed of the object when it hits the ground:
$V_{f}=V_{i}+gt$
$V_{f}=31.21+(32)(2.47)$
$V_{f}=110.25$ ft/s

We can conclude that the speed of the object when it hits the ground is 110.25 ft/s

A 75-kg refrigerator is located on the 70th floor of a skyscraper (300meters a over the ground) What is the potential energy of

Nata [24]

Formula for potential energy is V=mgh, where m is mass in KG, g is earth acceleration (10 m/s^2), and h its height in meters. We know mass, acceleration is constant and also known, we know height also. Lets substitute
V=75*10*300=225000[J]=225[kJ] - its the answer
