The volume of a cube is given by:

$V=L^3$

where L is the measure of each side (which corresponds to its width, since all sides of a cube are equal).

Plugging the data of the problem, L=32.1 cm, inside the equation, we find the volume:

$V=L^3 =(32.1 cm)^3 =33076.2 cm^3$

Hi myself Shrushtee.

Explanation:

The fuse is connected to the live wire so that the appliance will not become charged (have a potential difference of 230 V) after the fuse has melted due to excessive current. Fuses must be fitted onto the live wire so that when it blows, it will disconnect (isolate) the appliance from the high voltage live wire.

A street light is mounted at the top of a 15-ft-tall pole. A man 6 ft tall walks away from the pole with a speed of 4 ft/s along

babymother [125]

Answer:

Explanation:

height of pole = 15 ft

height of man = 6 ft

Let the length of shadow is y .

According to the diagram

Let at any time the distance of man is x.

The two triangles are similar

$\frac{y-x}{y}=\frac{6}{15}$

15 y - 15 x = 6 y

9 y = 15 x

$y=\frac{5}{3}x$

Differentiate with respect to time.

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{5}{3}\frac{dx}{dt}$

As given, dx/dt = 4 ft/s

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{5}{3}\times 4$

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{20}{3}$ ft/s

Anna Litical is practicing a centripetal force demonstration at home. She fills a bucket with water, ties it to a strong rope, a

dlinn [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Suppose when bucket is half full it has a mass of 2 m rotating in a circle of radius r

When Bucket is quarter full then it has a mass of m rotating in a circle of radius r.

When an object moves in a circular path then it experiences an inward force which is given by

$F_1=\frac{2mv^2}{r}$

where v=velocity of bucket

Force in case 2 is given by

$F_2=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

Thus $F_1=2F_2$

therefore force required in half bucket is more than force required in quarter bucket full.

A ball is dropped from rest from the top of a cliff that is 24 m high. From ground level, a second ball is thrown straight upwar

sesenic [268]

Answer:

6.0 m below the top of the cliff

Explanation:

We can find the velocity at which the ball dropped from the cliff reaches the ground by using the SUVAT equation

$v^2-u^2 = 2gd$

where

u = 0 (it starts from rest)

g = 9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration of gravity, we assume downward as positive direction)

h = 24 m is the distance covered

Solving for h,

$v=\sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(24)}=21.7 m/s$

So the ball thrown upward is launched with this initial velocity:

u = 21.7 m/s

From now on, we take instead upward as positive direction.

The vertical position of the ball dropped from the cliff at time t is

$y_1 = h - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

While the vertical position of the ball thrown upward is

$y_2 = ut - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

The two balls meet when

$y_1 = y_2\\h-\frac{1}{2}gt^2 = ut - \frac{1}{2}gt^2 \\h = ut \rightarrow t = \frac{h}{u}=\frac{24}{21.7}=1.11 s$

So the two balls meet after 1.11 s, when the position of the ball dropped from the cliff is

$y_1 = h -\frac{1}{2}gt^2 = 24-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(1.11)^2=18.0 m$

So the distance below the top of the cliff is

$d=24.0 - 18.0 = 6.0 m$
