It’s mid-afternoon on a lovely, sunny day; it’s 60°F, and the sun is 60° above the horizon. Rays from the sun strike the still s

urface of a shallow pond that is 20 cm deep. The rays of sun cast a shadow of a stick that is completely submerged, and stuck in the sandy bottom of the pond. If 10 cm of the stick is above the sand, what is the length of the shadow?

Answer:

The correct answer is 5.77 cm

Explanation:

Solution

From the question given, let us recall the following,

A sunny day = 60°F and

The sun  above the horizon is = 60°

The surface of a shallow pond is = 20 cm deep

The stick above sand = 10 cm

The next step is to find the length of the shadow

Now,

let CD = stick

BC= Length of shadow

Thus,

CD/BC = Tan 60°

BC = CD/Tan 60°

= 10/√3 = 5.77 cm

Therefore, the length of the shadow is 5.77 cm

xenn [34]

Answer:

The maximum speed will be 26.475 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given mass of the toy m = 0.50 kg

radius of the light string r = 1 m

Tension on the string T = 350 N

We have to find the maximum speed without breaking the string  

For without breaking the string tension must be equal to the centripetal force

So T=\frac{mv^2}{r}

So 350=\frac{0.5\times v^2}{1}

v^2=700

v = 26.475 m /sec

So the maximum speed will be 26.475 m/sec

Katen [24]

Answer:

Microphones are a type of transducer - a device which converts energy from one form to another. Microphones convert acoustical energy (sound waves) into electrical energy (the audio signal). Different types of microphone have different ways of converting energy but they all share one thing in common: The diaphragm.

Aliun [14]

Answer:570.54 N

Explanation:

Given

mass of man=76 kg

\theta =50^{\circ}

As man is standing over inclined building therefore

its weight has two components i.e. sin and cos component

Force perpendicular to inclined wall

F=mgcos\theta =76\times 9.8\times \sin 50

F=570.54 N
