A barge is carrying a load of gravel along a river.

1 answer:

sattari [20]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Shoveling gravel into the water will increase the buoyancy of the barge, which will make it float higher. Without data it is hard to tell if it will raise the barge enough to be counterproductive, but in any case throwing away the payload is not a good idea. Adding some weights would make the barge float lower, and then maybe the plie can make it under the bridge.

The water from a fire hose follows a path described by y equals 3.0 plus 0.8 x minus 0.40 x squared (units are in meters). If

ivanzaharov [21]

Explanation:

It is given that, the water from a fire hose follows a path described by equation :

$y=3+0.8x-0.4x^2$ ........(1)

The x component of constant velocity, $v_x=5\ m/s$

We need to find the resultant velocity at the point (2,3).

Let $\dfrac{dx}{dt}=v_x$ and $\dfrac{dy}{dt}=v_y$

Differentiating equation (1) wrt t as,

$\dfrac{dy}{dt}=0.8\times \dfrac{dx}{dt}-0.8x\times \dfrac{dx}{dt}$

$v_y=0.8\times v_x-0.8x\times v_x$

$v_y=0.8v_x(1-x)$

When x = 2 and $v_x=5\ m/s$

So,

$v_y=0.8\times 5\times (1-2)$

$v_y=-4\ m/s$

Resultant velocity, $v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}$

$v=\sqrt{5^2+(-4)^2}$

v = 6.4 m/s

So, the resultant velocity at point (2,3) is 6.4 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
