Answer: 0.516 ft/s

Explanation:

Given

Length of ladder L=20 ft

The speed at which the ladder moving away is v=2 ft/s

after 1 sec, the ladder is 5 ft away from the wall

So, the other end of the ladder is at

\Rightarrow y=\sqrt{20^2-5^2}=19.36\ ft

Also, at any instant t

\Rightarrow l^2=x^2+y^2

differentiate w.r.t.

\Rightarrow 0=2xv+2yv_y\\\\\Rightarrow v_y=-\dfrac{x}{y}\times v\\\\\Rightarrow v_y=-\dfrac{5}{19.36}\times 2=0.516\ ft/s

Suppose a star has the same apparent brightness as Alpha Centauri A ( 2.7×10−8watt/m2 ) but is located at a distance of 300 ligh
iragen [17]

For  a star that has the same apparent brightness as Alpha Centauri A ( 2.7×10−8watt/m2 is mathematically given as

L=2.7*10^30w

<h3> What is its luminosity?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the luminosity  is mathematically given as

L=4*\pi^2*b

Therefore

L=4*\pi^2*b

L=4* \pi *(2.83*10^{18})*2.7*10^{-8}

L=2.7*10^30

In conclusion, the luminosity

L=2.7*10^30w

You throw a ball upward with an initial speed of 4.3 m/s. When it returns to your hand 0.88 s later, it has the same speed in th
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The acceleration is -9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

Hi there!!

When you throw a ball upward, there is a downward acceleration that makes the ball return to your hand. This acceleration is produced by gravity.

The average acceleration is calculated as the variation of the speed over time. In this case, we know the time and the initial and final speed. Then:

acceleration = final speed - initial speed/ elapsed time

acceleration = -4.3 m/s - 4.3 m/s / 0.88 s

acceleration = -9.8 m/s²
