Aspotlight on the ground shines on a wall 12 m away. if a man 2 m tall walks along the x-axis from the spotlight toward the building at a speed of 2 m/s, which is taken as the given dx/dt, how fast is the length of his shadow on the building decreasing when he is 4 m from the building?

An airplane flying parallel to the ground undergoes two consecutive displacements. the first is 76 km at 39.8◦ west of north, and the second is 156 km at 59.9◦ east of north. what is the magnitude of the plane’s total displacement? answer in units of km. 020 (part 2 of 2) 10.0

While studying chemical reactions and conservation of matter, sarah's class conducted a variety of experiments. sarah and her lab partner found the mass of a wax candle and placed the candle in a flask. the students lit the candle and let it burn to completion. all that was left was wax and charred candle wick. per their teacher's instructions, the students found the mass of the products. their data can be seen in the data table. formulate a hypothesis the students could test to explain why the experiment did not support the law of conservation of matter. a) the students could repeat the experiment using different candles; there might have been a flaw in the candle. b) the experiment should be repeatable. the students should run several trials and then take an average of the after mass in each trial. c) the students should have someone in the class check their measurement skills as they repeat the experiment. they may have made an error using the balance. d) the students should burn the candle in a container that has some type of lid so that any gas that is a product of the reaction can be contained and massed. submit
