A man 2 meters tall walks at the rate of 2 meters per second toward a streetlight that's 5 meters above the ground. At what rate

is the tip of his shadow moving? We've already set this up part of the way. We know that dx/dt=-2 meters per secon

8 0

Answer:

It changes at a rate of 4/3 meter per second

Explanation:

In the given figure below we have

\Delta OBD\simeq \Delta ABC\\\\\therefore \frac{5}{X+Y}=\frac{2}{Y}\\\\

Solving for Y given  X=2m/s we get

\frac{5}{2+Y}=\frac{2}{Y}\\\\5Y=4+2Y\\\\Y=\frac{4}{3}m/s

A nucleus with a mass number of 64 has a mean radius of about: _________.
dangina [55]

Answer:

The correct option is A

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass number is A= 64

Generally the mean radius is mathematically evaluated as

R  =  R_o A^{\frac{1}{3} }

Here R_o is a constant with a value  R_o =1.2*10^{-15}

So  

     R  =  1.2*10^{-15} *  64^{\frac{1}{3} }

      R  =   4.8 *10^{-15}

        R  =   4.8\ fm

QC In ideal flow, a liquid of density 850 kg / m³ moves from a horizontal tube of radius 1.00cm into a second horizontal tube of
kvv77 [185]

The  volume flow rates for ∆P is 6.81m³/s .

<h3>What is pressure?</h3>

The amount of force applied on perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area. The unit of it is pascal.

According to bernaulli's theorem theorem

P+1/2pV²+pgy = constant

where p fluid density

g is acceleration due to gravity, pressure at elevation,v is Velocity at elevation ,y is height of elevation.

As there are two tubes then the height of tube 1 is equal to height of tube two .

P1-P2=1/2p(Vd²-Vl²)

The flow rate of liquid is  A1V1=A2V2 .
