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

Which statement is true?
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

A. Speed is a scalar quantity and velocity is a vector quantity.

Explanation:

A scalar quantity is one that consists of only a numerical value.

Speed is a scalar quantity because only the instantaneous value is indicated, for example the speedometer of a car that tells you your speed at the moment but not where you are going or in what direction are you going.

On the other hand, velocity is a vector quantity. Because it is composed of a <u>magnitude and a direction</u>, for example 10m/s to the south is a velocity, and 10m/s is a speed.

Newton's law of gravity was inconsistent with Einstein's special relativity because
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Mass and thus force depends on the reference frame chosen

Explanation:

This can be explained as Newton's law of gravity provides action which are instantaneous at a distance and involves the evaluation of all the quantities at present time or at the instant they occur.

If the body undergoes a change in its mass distribution there will be an immediate change in its gravitational force without any lag.

Now, if we talk about special relativity, it would be absurd to say that an information can travel faster than light. The effect is in synchronization with the cause in one reference frame where the effect occurs after the cause for some observer in some other reference frame.

In order to observe Newton's law of gravity all the observer's in different reference frames must observe the same phenomena which could only be possible if time were absolute and in special relativity, time is not absolute.

Therefore, Newton's law of gravity was inconsistent with the Einstein's Special Relativity.
