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

The speed of light in a material is found to be 2.07 x 108 m/s. What is the most likely material from the options below if the s
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

1.3636

Explanation:

Write the expression for the refractive index.

n=c/v

c= speed of light in air

v= speed of light in material

=(3×10^8 m/s)/(2.2×10^8 m/s)

 =1.3636

What is force??????<br> ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀​
Gwar [14]

Answer:

A force is a push or pull upon an object resulting from the object's interaction with another object. Whenever there is an interaction between two objects, there is a force upon each of the objects. ... Forces only exist as a result of an interaction.

in the figure shown, if the mass of the block is 4kg and the coefficient of static friction is 0.5 and the coefficient of kineti
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Ff = 19.6 N

Explanation:

So since its saying whats the minimum F to move the block, we will use static friction (0.5).

We will use the equation for force of friction, which is Ff = uFn

Ff = (0.5)(4)(9.8)

Ff = 19.6 N

this is the minumum force needed to move the block, as that is the frictional force. You would need to apply a minimum force of 19.6 N to move the block

A 6.0 kg mass is placed on a 20º incline which has a coefficient of friction of 0.15. What is the acceleration of the mass down
Leona [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

The form of Newton's 2nd Law that we use for this is:

F - f = ma where F is the Force pulling the mass down the ramp forward, f is the friction trying to keep it from moving forward, m is the mass and a is the acceleration (and our unknown).

We know mass and we can find f, but we don't have F. But we can solve for that by rewriting our main equation to reflect F:

wsin\theta-\mu F_n=ma That's everything we need.

w is weight: 6.0(9.8). Filling in:

6.0(9.8)sin20 - .15(6.0)(9.8) = 6.0a and

2.0 × 10¹ - 8.8 = 6.0a and

11 = 6.0a so

a = 1.8 m/s/s
