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

A parachutist of mass 100 kg falls from a height of 500 m. Under realistic conditions, she experiences air resistance. Based on
antoniya [11.8K]
Given:
mass: 100 kg
height: 500 m
1 kJ = 1000 J
gravity = 9.8 m/s²

velocity before impact: v = √2gh ; v = √2 * 9.8 m/s² * 500 m ; v = 98.99494 m/s

KE = 1/2 m v²
KE = 1/2 * 100 kg * (98.99494 m/s)²
KE = 490,000 J

Pls. see attachment.

The uncertainty in the position of an electron along an x axis is given as 5 x 10-12 m. What is the least uncertainty in any sim
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

The least uncertainty in the momentum component px is 1 × 10⁻²³ kg.m.s⁻¹.

Explanation:

According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, the uncertainty in the position of an electron (σx) and the uncertainty in its linear momentum (σpx) are complementary variables and are related through the following expression.

σx . σpx ≥ h/4π

where,

h is the Planck´s constant

If σx = 5 × 10⁻¹²m,

5 × 10⁻¹²m . σpx ≥ 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ kg.m².s⁻¹/4π

σpx ≥ 1 × 10⁻²³ kg.m.s⁻¹
