In order to make a ramp that is 3ft high and covers4ft of ground how long must the ramp be

1 answer:

6 0

This seems like a right angle triangle situation
the height is 3ft
the base is 4ft
so we're looking for the hypothenus
so we can use the Pythagoras Theorem
which is
the square of the hypothenus is equal to the sum of the square of the two other sides
hyp^2 is equal to opp^2+ adj^2
hyp^2 equals to 3^2 + 4^2
9+16
25
hyp^2 equals to 25
$\sqrt{25}$
equals to 5
the ramp has to be 5ft long

1). The equation is: (speed) = (frequency) x (wavelength)

Speed = (256 Hz) x (1.3 m) = 332.8 meters per second

2). If the instrument is played louder, the amplitude of the waves increases.
On the oscilloscope, they would appear larger from top to bottom, but the
horizontal size of each wave doesn't change.

If the instrument is played at a higher pitch, then the waves become shorter,
because 'pitch' is directly related to the frequency of the waves, and higher
pitch means higher frequency and more waves in any period of time.

If the instrument plays louder and at higher pitch, the waves on the scope
become taller and there are more of them across the screen.

3). The equation is: Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength)
(Notice that this is exactly the same as the equation up above in question #1,
only with each side of that one divided by 'wavelength'.)

Frequency = 300,000,000 meters per second / 1,500 meters = 200,000 per second.

That's ' 200 k Hz ' .

Note:
I didn't think anybody broadcasts at 200 kHz, so I looked up BBC Radio 4
on-line, and I was surprised. They broadcast on several different frequencies,
and one of them is 198 kHz !

A. An automobile mass is 3.5 x103 kg. If the forward thrust (Fnet)

katrin [286]

Answer:

a = 0.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

Force equation: F = ma

F = ma -> a = F/m = 2.8*10^3 N / 3.5*10^3 kg = 0.8 m/s^2
