Answer

given,

discharge rate from pipe = 1000 gallons/minutes

now,

flow rate in cubic meters per second

1 gallon = 0.00378541 m³

1 min = 60 s

Q = $1000\times \dfrac{0.00378541\ m^3}{1\ gallon}\times \dfrac{1\ min}{60\ s}$

Q = 0.063 m³/s

flow rate in liters per minute

1 gallon = 3.78541 L

Q = $1000\times \dfrac{3.78541\ m^3}{1\ gallon}$

Q = 3785.41 m³/min

flow rate in cubic feet per second

1 gallon = 0.133681 ft³

1 min = 60 s

Q = $1000\times \dfrac{0.133681\ ft^3}{1\ gallon}\times \dfrac{1\ min}{60\ s}$

Q = 2.23 ft³/s

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Decreases by $3.6 \times 10^{-3}$ times

Explanation:

The intensity of a sound is defined as the energy of the sound that is flowing in an unit time through the unit area which is in the direction that is perpendicular to the direction of the sound waves movement.

The intensity of energy is described by the inverse square law. It states that the intensity varies inversely with the distance square of the distance.

In other words, the sound intensity decreases as inversely proportional to the squared of the distance. i.e. $\frac{1}{r^2}$

In the context when the distance was 3 m, the intensity of the sound was = $\frac{1}{9}$

But when the distance became 6 cm or 0.06 m, the sound intensity decreases by = $\frac{1}{0.06^2}$

= $3.6 \times 10^{-3}$ times

A projectile is launched straight up from a height of 960 feet with an initial velocity of 64 ft/sec. Its height at time t is h(

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

a) $t=2s$

b) $h_{max}=1024ft$

c) $v_{y}=-256ft/s$

Explanation:

From the exercise we know the initial velocity of the projectile and its initial height

$v_{y}=64ft/s\\h_{o}=960ft\\g=-32ft/s^2$

To find what time does it take to reach maximum height we need to find how high will it go

b) We can calculate its initial height using the following formula

Knowing that its velocity is zero at its maximum height

$v_{y}^{2}=v_{o}^{2}+2g(y-y_{o})$

$0=(64ft/s)^2-2(32ft/s^2)(y-960ft)$

$y=\frac{-(64ft/s)^2-2(32ft/s^2)(960ft)}{-2(32ft/s^2)}=1024ft$

So, the projectile goes 1024 ft high

a) From the equation of height we calculate how long does it take to reach maximum point

$h=-16t^2+64t+960$

$1024=-16t^2+64t+960$

$0=-16t^2+64t-64$

Solving the quadratic equation

$t=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$

$a=-16\\b=64\\c=-64$

$t=2s$

So, the projectile reach maximum point at t=2s

c) We can calculate the final velocity by using the following formula:

$v_{y}^{2}=v_{o}^{2}+2g(y-y_{o})$

$v_{y}=±\sqrt{(64ft/s)^{2}-2(32ft/s^2)(-960ft)}=±256ft/s$

Since the projectile is going down the velocity at the instant it reaches the ground is:

$v=-256ft/s$
