Let h = distance (m) to the water surface.
Initial velocity, u = 0 (because the stone was dropped).
Use the formula
h = ut + (1/2)gt^2
where g = 9.8 m/s^2 (acc. due to graity)
t = time (s)
h = (1/2)*(9.8)*(3^2) = 44.1 m
The stake, height and tether length of the tent form a right angle triangle where the tether length is the hypotenuse.
Applying Pythagoras theorem:
length² = height² + (stake distance)²
length = √(8² + 2²)
length = 8.5 feet
Answer:
783 grams
Explanation:
Here mass is given in kg
Some of the prefixes of the SI units are
1 gram = 10⁻³ kilogram
1 milligram = 10⁻⁶ kilogram
1 microgram = 10⁻⁹ kilogram
1 nanogram = 10⁻¹² kilogram
The number is 0.783
Here, the only solution where the number of significant figures is three is gram. If any other prefix is chosen then the significant figures will increase
So, 0.783 kg = 783 grams
Answer:
17. h = l − l cos θ
18. 1.40 m
Explanation:
Let's call d the height of the triangle. We can then say:
h = l − d
Using trig, we can write d in terms of l and θ:
d = l cos θ
h = l − l cos θ
If l = 6 m and l cos θ = 40°:
h = 6 − 6 cos 40
h ≈ 1.40
