Answer:

0.08 ft/min

Explanation:

To get the speed at witch the water raising at a given point we need to know the area it needs to fill at that point in the trough (the longitudinal section), which is given by the height at that point.

So we need to get the lenght of the sides for a height of 1 foot. Given the geometry of the trough, one side is the depth <em>d</em> and the other (lets call it <em>l</em>) is given by:

l=\frac{3-2}{2}\,ft+2\,ft\\l=2.5\,ft

since the difference between the upper and lower base is the increase in the base and we are only at halft the height.

Now we can calculate the longitudinal section <em>A</em> at that point:

A=d\times l\\A=5\,ft \times 2.5\, ft\\A=12.5\, ft^{2}

And the raising speed <em>v </em>of the water is given by:

v=\frac{q}{A}\\v=\frac{1\, \frac{ft^3}{min}}{12.5\, ft^2}\\v=0.08\, \frac{ft}{min}

where <em>q</em> is the water flow (1 cubic foot per minute).

A large body collides with a stationary small body from the rear end. How do the bodies behave if the collision is inelastic?.
alexdok [17]
If the collision is inelastic, there is every possibility that the large body will drag the small stationary body along with it in the direction of the collision. Some amount of heat, light and sound energy will also be produced due to the kinetic energy of the large body. I hope the answer helps you.

In what regions of the electromagnetic spectrum is the atmosphere transparent enough to allow observations from the ground?
MissTica

Answer:

Visible Light and Radio waves

Explanation:

The earth's atmosphere is transparent to a few windows in the electromagnetic spectrum. it is completely transparent to allow observation from the ground in visible light rang 380 to 740 nano meters. Also in the range of radio wave as communication are done from space to ground in the form of radio waves.

it is Partially transparent to Microwave and infrared range.

Water is drawn from a well in a bucket tied to the end of a rope whose other end wraps around a solid cylinder of mass 50 kg and
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

\alpha=78.4\ rad.s^{-2}

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of solid cylinder, m=50\ kg
  • diameter of cylinder, d=0.25\ m
  • mass of bucket of water, m_w=20\ kg

<em>When the bucket is released to fall in the well, it fall under the acceleration due to gravity.</em>

We have formula for angular acceleration as:

\alpha=\frac{g}{r}

where:

g = acceleration due to gravity

r = radius of the cylinder

\aplha=\frac{9.8}{0.125}

\alpha=78.4\ rad.s^{-2}
