Answer:
15.7 m
Explanation:
m = mass of the sled = 125 kg
v₀ = initial speed of the sled = 8.1 m/s
v = final speed of sled = 0 m/s
F = force applied by the brakes in opposite direction of motion = 261
d = stopping distance for the sled
Using work-change in kinetic energy theorem
- F d = (0.5) m (v² - v₀²)
- (261) d = (0.5) (125) (0² - 8.1²)
d = 15.7 m
Quoting from the article itself:
"Since it is above Earth's atmosphere, it gives us clearer pictures of space than telescopes on Earth can."
Answer:
Force, F = 20240 N
Explanation:
It is given that,
Pressure exerted by the four tires of an automobile, 
Area of each tire, 
Area of 4 tires, 
We know that the pressure exerted by an object is equal to the force per unit area. Its formula is given by :
F = 20240 N
So, the weight of the automobile is 20240 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
Hello! I can help you with this!
4. For this problem, we have to write and solve a proportion. We would set this proportion up as 12/15 = 8/x. This is because we're looking for the length of the shadow and we know the height of the items, so we line them up horizontally and x goes with 8, because we're looking for the shadow length. Let's cross multiply the values. 15 * 8 = 120. 12 * x = 12. You get 120 = 12x. Now, we must divide each side by 12 to isolate the "x". 120/12 is 10. x = 10. There. The cardboard box casts a shadow that is 10 ft long.
5. For this question, you do the same thing. This time, you're finding the height of the tower, so you would do 1.2/0.6 = x/7. Cross multiply the values in order to get 8.4 = 0.6x. Now, divide each side by 0.6x to isolate the "x". 8.4/0.6 is 14. x = 14. There. The tower is 14 m tall.
