Answer: 93ft

Explanation: Martha's eyesight make an angle with the fence, this is solved as a triangle problem.

We first convert all the dimensions to inches using the fact that 12 inches make 1 ft.

To solve for the angle

Tan § = 18/48 = 0.375

§ = tan^-1 of 0.375 = 20.55°

This same angle elevates to the edge of the building

Tan 20.55 = 399/x

x = 399/tan 20.55

x = 1040 inches

Height of building = x + height of fence

Height of building = 1040 + 78 = 1118 inches

Converting back to ft it becomes

1118/12 = 93 ft 2 inches

Approximately 93ft

If it requires 8.0 J of work to stretch a particular spring by 2.0 cm from its equilibrium length, how much more work will be re
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The amount of work done required to stretch spring by additional 4 cm is 64 J.

Explanation:

The energy used for stretching spring is given by the relation :

E = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2}           .......(1)

Here k is spring constant and x is the displacement of spring from its equilibrium position.

For stretch spring by 2.0 cm or 0.02 m, we need 8.0 J of energy. Hence, substitute the suitable values in equation (1).

8 = \frac{1}{2}\timesk\times k \times(0.02)^{2}

k = 4 x 10⁴ N/m

Energy needed to stretch a spring by 6.0 cm can be determine by the equation (1).

Substitute 0.06 m for x and 4 x 10⁴ N/m for k in equation (1).

E = \frac{1}{2}\times4\times10^{4}\times (0.06)^{2}

E = 72 J

But we already have 8.0 J. So, the extra energy needed to stretch spring by additional 4 cm is :

E = ( 72 - 8 ) J = 64 J

How much energy (in Joules) is released when 12.0 g of water cools from 20.0 °C to 11.0 °C? This is a grade 10 question from the
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer: - 452.088joule

Explanation:

Given the following :

Mass of water = 12g

Change in temperature(Dt) = (11 - 20)°C = - 9°C

Specific heats capacity of water(c) = 4.186j/g°C

Q = mcDt

Where Q = quantity of heat

Q = 12g × 4.186j/g°C × - 9°C

Q = - 452.088joule

Planets move around the sun in elliptical orbits.<br> A. true<br> B. false
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:All planets move in elliptical orbits, with the sun at one focus. This is one of Kepler's laws. The elliptical shape of the orbit is a result of the inverse square force of gravity. The eccentricity of the ellipse is greatly exaggerated here.

so it is true

A chair of mass 12.0 kg is sitting on the horizontal floor; the floor is not frictionless. You push on the chair with a force F
yarga [219]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass, m = 12 kg

Force, F = 40 N

θ = 37° below the horizontal

(a)

Diagram is attached

(b) Let N be the normal reaction

According to the diagram

N + F Sin θ = m g

N = mg - F Sin θ

N = 12 x 9.8 - 40 x Sin 37

N = 117.6 - 24.07

N = 93.53
