Ask Your Teacher A trough is 16 ft long and its ends have the shape of isosceles triangles that are 2 ft across at the top and h

ave a height of 1 ft. If the trough is being filled with water at a rate of 9 ft3/min, how fast is the water level rising when the water is 8 inches deep?

Answer:0.210 ft/min

Explanation:

Given

Length of trough L=16 ft

width of base b=2 ft

height of triangleh=1 ft

From Similar triangles property

\frac{4}{2x}=\frac{1}{y}

2y=x

volume of water in time t

V=\frac{1}{2}\times (2x\cdot y)\cdot

V=16xy

V=32y^2

differentiating

\frac{\mathrm{d} V}{\mathrm{d} t}=32\times 2\times y\times \frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}

at y=8 in.\approx 0.667 ft

9=64\times 0.667\times \frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}

\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{9}{64\times 0.667}

\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=0.210 ft/min

Lorico [155]

Answer:2.6 h

Explanation:

Given

Total Trip distance=450 miles

Meeting starts after 10.8 hours

safe Fastest speed is  55 mi/h

so if he drives all the to the meeting with max speed then it takes =\frac{450}{55}=8.181 h

and total allowable time is 10.8

Therefore longest time he can spend over dinner is 10.8-8.181 \approx 2.6 hours

A sample contains 36 g of a radioactive isotope. How much radioactive isotope remains in the sample after 3 half-lives?
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

<u>Option "C":</u> "4.5 g"

Explanation:

N0 = 36 g, Let half-life is T.

t = 3 T, n is number of half lives = t / T = 3

<u>By using the decay law of radioactivity</u>

N / N0 = (1 / 2)^n

where

"N0" be the "initial amount"

"N" be the "amount left"

"n" be the "number of half-lives"

N / 36 = (1/2)^3

N / 36 = 1 / 8

N = 36 / 8 = 4.5 g
