Which set of shapes contains members that are always similar to one another?

Colt1911 [192]

<span>The correct answer is option C. i.e.Equilateral triangles. All equilateral triangle have equal sides. Due to this these set of shapes will always be similar. Similarity in the sense that only the size of the triangles can change to large or smaller but the shape will be be similar always.</span>

A Carnot heat engine has an efficiency of 0.400. If it operates between a deep lake with a constant temperature of 298.0k and a

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

496.7 K

Explanation:

The efficiency of a Carnot engine is given by the equation:

$\eta = 1 - \frac{T_H}{T_L}$

where:

$T_H$ is the temperature of the hot reservoir

$T_C$ is the temperature of the cold reservoir

For the engine in the problem, we know that

$\eta = 0.400$ is the efficiency

$T_C = 298.0 K$ is the temperature of the cold reservoir

Solving for $T_H$ , we find:

$\frac{T_C}{T_H}=1-\eta\\T_H = \frac{T_C}{1-\eta} =\frac{298.0}{1-0.400}=496.7 K$

A hippo drives 42 km due East. He then turns and drives 28 km at 25° East of South. He turns again and drives 32 km at 40° North

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

a) Please, see the attched figure

b) Total displacement R = (78.3 km; -4.8 km)

c) R = (78.4 km * cos (-3.5°); 78.4 km * sin (-3.5°))

d) The hippo is 78.4 km from his starting point.

The total distance traveled is 102 km

Explanation:

a)Please, see the attached figure.

b) The vector A can be expressed as:

A = (magnitude * cos α; magnitude * sin α)

Where

magnitude = 42 km

α= 0

Then,

A = (42 km ; 0) or 42 km i

In the same way, we can proceed with the other vectors:

B = ( Bx ; By)

where

(apply trigonometry of right triangles: sen α = opposite / hypotenuse and

cos α = adjacent / hypotenuse. See the figure to determine which component of vector B is the opposite and adjacent side to α)

Bx = 28 km * sin 25 = 11.8 km

By = 28 km * cos 25 = -25.4 km (it has to be negative since it is directed towards the negative vertical region according to our reference system)

B = (11.8 km; -25.4 km) or 11.8 km i - 25.4 km j

C = (Cx; Cy)

where

Cx = 32 km * cos 40° = 24.5 km

Cy = 32 km * sin 40 = 20.6 km

C = (24.5 km; 20.6 km)

Then:

R = A+B+C = (42 km + 11.8 km + 24.5 km; 0 - 25.4 km + 20.6 km)

= (78.3 km; -4.8 km) or 78.3 km i -4.8 km j

c) R = (78.3 km; -4.8 km)

The magnitude of R is:

$magnitude = \sqrt{(78.3)^{2 }+ (-4.8)^{2}}= 78.4 km$

Using trigonometry, we can calculate the angle:

Knowing that

tan α = opposite / adjacent

and that

opposite = Ry = -4.8 km

adjacent = Rx = 78.3 km

Then:

tan α = -4.8 km / 78.4 km

α = -3.5°

We can now write the vector R in magnitude and direction form:

R = (78.4 km * cos (-3.5°); 78.4 km * sin (-3.5°))

d) The displacement of the hipo relative to the starting point is the magnitude of vector R calculated in c):

magnitude R = 78. 4 km

The total distance traveled is the sum of the magnitudes of each vector:

Total distance = 42 km + 28 km + 32 km = 102 km
