A trough is 10 feet long and its ends have the shape of isosceles triangles that are 3 feet across at the top and 1 foot high. I

f the trough is filled with water at a rate of 12 feet cubed per minute, how fast is the water level rising when the trough is half a foot deep?

Answer:

1.6 ft/min

Explanation:

Since trough is 10 ft long and water is filled at the rate of 12ft3/min. We can calculate the rate of water filled with respect to area:

= 12 / 10 = 1.2ft2/min

As the water level rises, so does the water surface, or the bottom side of the isosceles triangles. In fact we can calculate the bottom side when the trough is half foot deep:

= 3 / 2 = 1.5 ft

The rate of change in water level would be the same as calculating the height of the isosceles triangles knowing its base

= 1.2 * 2 / 1.5 = 1.6 ft/min

E = <u>kQ</u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u>

(r + h)²

where,

k = 9 × 10^9Nm²C^-2

Q = total charge, 300uC = 300 × 10^ -6C

r = 8 × 10^ -2m

h = 16 × 10^ -2m

then,

E = <u>9</u><u>e</u><u>9</u><u> </u><u>*</u><u> </u><u>3</u><u>0</u><u>0</u><u>e</u><u>^</u><u>-</u><u>6</u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u>

(8e^-2 + 16e^-2)²

Identify and sketch all the external forces acting on the chair. because the chair can be represented as a point particle of mas
SOVA2 [1]

There are two external force acts on the chair.

1. The force due to earth gravity, acts in the downward direction.

2. Reaction force of the gravity, which acts in the Upward direction (Normal Force).

On every object, there is a force acts due to gravity of earth, which pulls the object towards the centre of earth, known as gravity force, always acts in the downward direction. Mathematically it's given as

F=mg

here, m is the mass of the object, and g is the acceleration of gravity.

To balance this gravity force, a counter force acts in the opposite direction, whose magnitude is equal to the force of gravity

What would happen if you tried to use a prism to disperse a beam that contained only green light?​
Margaret [11]

It is determined by the nature of the green light. Because lasers create light at almost a single frequency, green laser light would appear as a thin line of pure green. Other sources of "green" light emit light at a variety of frequencies, including yellow and blue, resulting in a strong green band in the center that fades into blue-green and yellow-green at the borders.

For example, here’s a graph of the spectrum of a green LED, showing the color range: Attachment #1

and here’s a graph of the transmission spectra of several standard photographic filters, including green: Attachment #2

If a bow holds 500J of potential energy as the arrow is pulled back, how much kinetic energy will the arrow have after it has be
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

500J

Explanation:

The arrow will have an energy of 500J after it has been released from its state of rest.

This is compliance with the law of conservation of energy which states that "in every system, energy is neither created nor destroyed but transformed from one form to another".

  • The energy at rest which is the potential energy is 500J
  • This energy will be converted to kinetic energy in total after the arrow has been released.
  • This way, no energy is lost and we can account for the energy transformations occurring.
