A rectangular reflecting pool is 56.5 ft wide and 141 ft long. What is the area of the pool in square meters

konstantin123 [22]

By definition, the area of the pool is 740.112 m².

<h3>Definition of area</h3>

The area is the measure of a space delimited by a contour which is called perimeter.

That is, the area gives an idea of how much surface a figure covers and is defined as the measure of the region or surface enclosed by a geometric figure.

<h3>Area of a rectangle</h3>

A rectangle is a flat geometric figure with four sides, of which two sides that are opposite parallel to each other have the same length and the remaining two have another length.

The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the lengths of two contiguous sides of the figure which are different from each other, that is, the length is multiplied by the width:

Area= length× width

A rectangular reflecting pool is 56.5 ft wide and 141 ft long. So, the area of the rectangular pool is calculated as:

Area= length× width

Area= 141 ft× 56.5 ft

Solving:

<u><em>Area= 7966.5 ft²= 740.112 m²</em></u> (being 1 ft²= 0.092903 m²)

So, the area of the pool is 740.112 m².

A lowly high diver pushes off horizontally with a speed of 2.00 m/s from the platform edge 10.0 m above the surface of the water

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

(a) 1.6m

(b) 6.86m

(c) 2.86s

Explanation:

This is a horizontal shooting problem, so we will use the following equations.

For horizontal distance x we use:

$x(t)=x_{0}+v_{0}t$

Where $x(t)$ is the horizontal distance at a time $t$ , $x_{0}$ is the initial horizontal position which in this case will be zero: $x_{0}=0$ . And $v_{0}$ is the initial speed: $v_{0}=2m/s$

So to solve (a):

(a) At what horizontal distance from the edge is the diver 0.800 s after pushing off?

we have that the time is: $t=0.8s$ so the horizontal distance is:

$x(0.8)=(2m/s)(0.8s)1.6m$

<u>The answer for (a) is 1.6m</u>

Now, to solve (b) we need the equation for vertical distance:

$y(t)=y_{0}-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Where $y(t)$ is the vertical distance at a time $t$ , $y_{0}$ is the initial vertical distance: $y_{0}=10m$ And $g$ is the gravitational acceleration: $g=9.81m/s^2$ }

(b) At what vertical distance above the surface of the water is the diver just then?

The time is the same as in the last question: $t=0.8s$

$y(0.8)=10m-\frac{1}{2}(9.81m/s^2)(0.8)^2$

$y(0.8)=10m-\frac{1}{2}(9.81m/s^2)(0.64s^2)$

$y(0.8)=10m-\frac{1}{2}(6.2784m)$

$y(0.8)=10m-(3.1392)$

$y(0.8)=6.86m$

<u>the answer to (b) is 6.86m</u>

(c) At what horizontal distance from the edge does the diver strike the water?

To solve (c) we first need to know how long it took to reach the height of the water, that is, for what time y = 0

Using $y(t)=y_{0}-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

if $y(t)=0$

$0=10-\frac{1}{2}gt^2\\-10=-\frac{1}{2}gt^2\\20=gt^2\\\frac{20}{g}=t^2\\ \sqrt{\frac{20}{g}}=t$

and since $g=9.81m/s^2$

$t=\sqrt{\frac{20}{9.81} } =\sqrt{2.039}=1.43s$

At $t=1.43s$ the car hits the water, so the horizontal distance at that time is:

$x(t)=x_{0}+v_{0}t$

$x(1.43)=(2m/s)(1.43s)=2.86m$

<u>the answer to (c) is 2.86s</u>

Explain the difference between a fuse and a circuit breaker if you were designing a circuit for a reading lamp would you include

sesenic [268]

The answer is Fuse. Circuit breakers and fuses are generally known as "Overload Protection Devices. The difference between a fuse and a circuit breaker is that a fuse is a one time circuit element while a circuit breaker is a multiple use device. If you were designing a circuit for a reading lamp, a fuse would do. Since almost all household installed a circuit breaker for outlets, etc,
