How many seconds will light leaving Los Angeles take to reach the following locations (a) San Francisco (about 500km), (b) Londo

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

a) It takes 0.0017s for the light to reach San Francisco.

b) It takes 0.033s for the light to reach London.

c) It takes 1.334s for the light to reach Mars.

d) It takes 149.7s for the light to reach Venus.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we can solve this problem by using this following formula:

$s = \frac{d}{t}$

In which s is the speed(in km/s), d is the distance(in km) and t is the time(in s).

The light speed is 299 792 458 m / s = 299,792.458 km/s, so $s = 299,792.458$

(a) San Francisco (about 500km)

Find t when $d = 500$ . So

$s = \frac{d}{t}$

$299,792.458 = \frac{500}{t}$

$299,792.458t = 500$

$t = \frac{500}{299,792.458}$

$t = 0.0017s$

It takes 0.0017s for the light to reach San Francisco.

b) London(about 10,000km)

Find t when $d = 10,000$ . So

$s = \frac{d}{t}$

$299,792.458 = \frac{10,000}{t}$

$299,792.458t = 10,000$

$t = \frac{10,000}{299,792.458}$

$t = 0.033s$

It takes 0.033s for the light to reach London.

(c) the Moon (400,000km)

Find t when $d = 400,000$ . So

$s = \frac{d}{t}$

$299,792.458 = \frac{400,000}{t}$

$299,792.458t = 400,000$

$t = \frac{400,000}{299,792.458}$

$t = 1.334s$

It takes 1.334s for the light to reach Mars.

(d) Venus (0.3 A.U. from Earth at its closest approach).

Each A.U. has 149,59,7871 km.

So 0.3 A.U. = 0.3*(149,597,871) = 44,879,361.3. This means that $d = 44,879,361.3$ . So:

$s = \frac{d}{t}$

$299,792.458 = \frac{44,879,361.3}{t}$

$299,792.458t = 44,879,361.3$

$t = \frac{44,879,361.3}{299,792.458}$

$t = 149.7s$

It takes 149.7s for the light to reach Venus.

Which additional fact proves that ΔRST and ΔWXY are congruent if ∠T ≅ ∠Y and RT ≅ WY?

sergejj [24]

Answer:

Hence, option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the fact such that ΔRST and ΔWXY are congruent.

Since, we are given: ∠T ≅ ∠Y and RT ≅ WY.

we are given the following assumptions:

∠W = x + 5

∠X = 3x - 9

∠Y = 2x + 4

as we are given one angle congruent and one side congruent so in order to prove two triangles are congruent we just need to show that one more pair of angles are congruent.

so from the two triangle we could have that ∠W≅∠R

and ∠X≅∠S

Now we will go by options:

if ∠S=2x+20 then as ∠X≅∠S.

3x-9=2x+20

x=29

∠S=∠W=78°.

if ∠R = 2x + 20 then as ∠W≅∠R

⇒ x+5=2x+20

⇒ x= -15 which is not possible as it will make measure of angle W negative (x+5= -15+5= -10)

if ∠S=2x^2+5 then as ∠X≅∠S.

⇒ 3x-9=2x^2+5

⇒ 2x^2-3x+14=0

on solving this quadratic equation we will get complex zeros.

Hence, option (C) is not correct.

if ∠R = 2x

+ 5 then as ∠W≅∠R.

⇒ x+5=

+ 5

⇒ 2x^2-x=0

⇒ x(2x-1)=0

either x=0 or x=1/2 which is not possible.

because by putting this x value in all the angles we see that sum of all the angles of a triangle is not equal to 180°

Hence, option D is not possible.

Hence, option A is correct.

The sail on a boat is triangular and its area is 216 feet. If the length of the base of the sail is 18 feet, find its

finlep [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the triangle area formula: A=1/2 (base)(height)

Plug in what we know: 216=1/2(18)(h)

Solve for h: (1/2)(18)=9.

216/9=24.

So, h=24

To check, plug it into the formula: 1/2(18)(24)= 216
