Answer:

3 units

Solution:

V=539 cubic units

Square base, with edge a=7 units

Slanted edge length: s=14 units

V=Ab h

Ab=49 square units

539 cubic units = (49 square units) h

h= 11 units

s-h=14 units-11 units

s-h=3 units

Answer:

3 units

Explanation :

Volume of an oblique rectangular prism with a square base = A×B×h

Where h = perpendicular height

From the question, Volume of an oblique rectangular prism with a square base = 539 cubic units

We were asked from the question to find how many units longer the slanted edge length of the prism, 14 is compared to its perpendicular height.

The first step is : Find the perpendicular height

Edges A = 7 units

Edges B = 7 units

Perpendicular height ?

Hence,

539 = 7 × 7 × h

539 = 49h

h = 539 ÷ 49

h = 11 units

Therefore, perpendicular height of the prism = 11 units

To find how many units longer, we would subtract the perpendicular height of the prism from the slanted edge length of the prism

= 14 units - 11 units

= 3 units .

Therefore the slanted edge length of the prism , 14, is 3 units longer compared to its perpendicular height.

A small branch is wedged under a 200 kg rock and rests on a smaller object. The smaller object is 2.0 m from the large rock and
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

a

  F  =326.7 \ N

b

  M  = 6

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

          The mass of the rock is  m_r  =  200 \ kg

          The  length of the small object from the rock is  d  =  2 \ m

          The  length of the small object from the branch l  =  12 \ m

An image representing this lever set-up is shown on the first uploaded image

Here the small object acts as a fulcrum

The  force exerted by the weight of the rock is mathematically evaluated as

      W =  m_r *  g

substituting values

     W =   200 *  9.8

     W =   1960 \ N

 So  at  equilibrium the sum  of the moment about the fulcrum is mathematically represented as

         \sum  M_f  =  F * cos \theta *  l  -  W cos\theta  *  d =  0

Here  \theta is very small so  cos\theta  *  l  =  l

                               and  cos\theta  *  d  =  d

Hence

       F *   l  -  W  * d =  0

=>    F  = \frac{W * d}{l}

substituting values

        F  = \frac{1960 *  2}{12}

       F  =326.7 \ N

The  mechanical advantage is mathematically evaluated as

          M  = \frac{W}{F}

substituting values

        M  = \frac{1960}{326.7}

       M  = 6

Two identical closely spaced circular disks form a parallel-plate capacitor. Transferring 1.4×109 electrons from one disk to the
allsm [11]

Answer:

r = 6.5*10^-3 m

Explanation:

I'm assuming you meant to ask the diameters of the disk, if so, here's it

Given

Quantity of charge on electron, Q = 1.4*10^9

Electric field strength, e = 1.9*10^5

q = Q * 1.6*10^-19

q = 2.24*10^-10

E = q/ε(0)A, making A the subject of formula, we have

A = q / [E * ε(0)], where

ε(0) = 8.85*10^-12

A = 2.24*10^-10 / (1.9*10^5 * 8.85*10^-12)

A = 2.24*10^-10 / 1.6815*10^-6

A = 1.33*10^-4 m²

Remember A = πr²

1.33*10^-4 = 3.142 * r²

r² = 1.33*10^-4 / 3.142

r² = 4.23*10^-5

r = 6.5*10^-3 m

You are in charge of designing a movie stunt for a new Fast and Furious film. In this scene a stunt person has to jump from a br
blondinia [14]

Answer:

103.5 meters

Explanation:

Given that a stunt person has to jump from a bridge and land on a boat in the water 22.5 m below. The boat is cruising at a constant velocity of 48.3 m/s towards the bridge. The stunt person will jump up at 6.45 m/s as they leave the bridge.

The time the person will jump to a certain spot under the bridge can be calculated by using the formula below:

h = Ut + 1/2gt^2

since the person will fall under gravity, g = 9.8 m/s^2

Also, let assume that the person jump from rest, then, U = 0

Substitute h, U and g into the formula above

22.5 = 1/2 * 9.8 * t^2

22.5 = 4.9t^2

22.5 = 4.9t^2

t^2 = 22.5/4.9

t^2 = 4.59

t = \sqrt{4.592}

t = 2.143 seconds

From definition of speed,

speed = distance /time

Given that the boat is cruising at a constant velocity of 48.3 m/s towards the bridge, substitute the speed and the time to get the distance.

48.3 = distance / 2.143

distance = 48.3 * 2.143

distance = 103.5 m

Therefore,  the boat should be 103.5m away from the bridge at the moment the stunt person jumps?
