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

A4 kg bowling ball begins rolling down a at bowling alloy at 6 m/s . When it strikes the pins, it is estimated to be moving at 5
Paul [167]

Answer:

Energy lost due to friction is 22 J      

Explanation:

Mass of the ball m = 4 kg

Initially velocity of ball v = 6 m/sec

So kinetic energy of the ball KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

KE=\frac{1}{2}\times 4\times 6^2=72J

Now due to friction velocity decreases to 5 m/sec

Kinetic energy become

KE=\frac{1}{2}\times 4\times 5^2=50J

Therefore energy lost due to friction = 72 -50 = 22 J

Photoelectrons with a maximum speed of 8.00 • 106 m/sec are ejected froma surface in the presence of light with a frequency of 6
Andru [333]

The kinetic energy is given by:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

We know the mass and the maximum speed, plugging their values in the expression above we have:

\begin{gathered} K=\frac{1}{2}(9.1\times10^{-31})(8\times10^6)^2 \\ K=2.91\times10^{-17}\text{ J} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer is d.

How much time does it take 9,560 joules of work with 860 watts of power
tia_tia [17]

Explanation:

use equation power=watts/time

to find time rearrange to make time = power/wats

so you have your equation substitute the numbers

so 9560J/860W is 11 minutes
