pentagon [3]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Given dish width= 48ft

Depth = 4ft

Using equation of a parabola

x²= 4py

48² = 4p 4

4p = 576

P= 144ft

Thus the the receiver should be placed 144ft from t the vertex

A force F~ = Fx ˆı + Fy ˆ acts on a particle that
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

W = 46 J

Explanation:

We need to find the angle between the two vectors Force vector and displacement vector.

First we will find the angle α of the force vector

tan\alpha =\frac{1}{8} \\\\\\alpha =7.125 deg\\

Then we find the angle β of the displacement vector

tan\beta=\frac{2}{6} \\\\beta = 18.43 deg\\

With these two angles we can find the angle between the two vectors

∅ = α + β = 25.56 deg

The definition of work is given by the expression

W=F*d*cos (theta)

The absolute value of F will be:

F=\sqrt{8^{2}+1^{2}  } \\F= 8.06 N

The absolute value of d will be:

d=\sqrt{(6 )^{2}+(2)^{2}  } \\d= 6.32m\\

Now we have:

W=8.06*6.32*cos(25.56)\\W=46 J

A person holds a portable fire extinguisher that ejects 1.0kg of water per second horizontally at a speed of 6.0 m/s. What newto
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

6 N

Explanation:

\dfrac{m}{t} = Mass flow rate = 1 kg/s

v = Final velocity = 6 m/s

u = Initial velocity = 0 m/s

Force is obtained when we divide change in momentum by time

F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{t}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{m}{t}(v-u)\\\Rightarrow F=1(6-0)\\\Rightarrow F=6\ N

The force the person exert on the extinguisher in order to prevent it from accelerating is 6 N

a large truck has a mass of 20000kg. it is traveling at 28m/s along a staright road . calculate the kinetic energy ​
Semmy [17]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>7,840,000 J</h2>

Explanation:

The kinetic energy KE of an object given it's mass and velocity can be found by using the formula

KE =  \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2}  \\

where

m is the mass

v is the velocity

From the question

m = 20000kg

v = 28 m/s

It's kinetic energy is

KE =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 20000 \times  {28}^{2}  \\  = 10000 \times 784

We have the final answer as

<h3>7,840,000 J</h3>

Hope this helps you
