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

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

(a) θ1 = 942.5rad, (b) θ2 = 13195 rad

Explanation:

(a) Given

ωo = 0 rad/s

ω = 3600rev/min = 3600×2(pi)/60 rad/s

ω = 377rad/s

t1 = 5s

θ1 = (ω + ωo)t/2

θ1 = (377 +0)×5/2

θ1 = 942.5 rads

(b) ωo = 377rad/s

ω = 0 rad/s

t2 = 70s

θ2 = (ω + ωo)t/2

θ2 = (377 +0)×70/2

θ2 = 13195 rad

Please help find the total resistance of these circuits!! I will mark brainliest if right!!
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

If you know the total current and the voltage across the whole circuit, you can find the total resistance using Ohm's Law: R = V / I. For example, a parallel circuit has a voltage of 9 volts and total current of 3 amps. The total resistance RT = 9 volts / 3 amps = 3 Ω.

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

14.4kJ

Explanation:

Work = Force x distance

W × h = mgh

Given that,

mass m, = 59.5kg

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

height ,h = 16.2cm

convert to m is 0.162m

How much work = m x g x h

height is 0.162 x 152 steps

h = 24.624m

work = 59.5 x 9.8 x 24.624

= 14,358.25Joule

= 14.4kJ
