For this case, the first thing you should know is that density is defined as the quotient between mass and volume.
 d = m / v
 We have then for this case that the density is:
 d = 103 Kg / m ^ 3
 The volume is given by:
 V = A * d
 Where
 A: area of the city
 d: height of the rain
 Also, for calculation purposes, you must know the following measure:
 1Km = 1000m
 1 inch = 0.0254 meters
 Calculating the volume we have:
 V = (22 * (1000/1) ^ 2) * (2 * (0.0254 / 1)) = 1117600 m ^ 3
 Then, calculating the mass we have:
 m = d * v
 m = (103) * (1117600) = 115112800 Kg
 Equivalently
 m = 1.15 * 10 ^ 8 Kg
 answer
 mass of water fell on the town was 1.15 * 10 ^ 8 Kg

We want to convert everything to meters so we can calculate cubic meter volume and use the given mass information.  
2 inches = 5.08 centimeters = .0508 meters.  
22 square kilometers = 22,000,000 sq meters.  
The product of these gives the number of cubic meters of water that rained. .0508 * 22,000,000 = 1,117,600 cubic meters.  
Multiply by the mass to arrive at final answer. 1,117,600 m^3 * 103kg/m^3 = 115,112,800 kg  
115,112,800 kg of water fell.

Dr. Potter provides vaccinations against polio and measles.
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

hi zzayn i will solve this later

Explanation:

Let's establish that x= number of polio vaccinations and y=number of measles vaccinations.

Since Dr. P gave a total of 60 VACCINATIONS, we know that x+y=60. (This is equation #1)

We also know that Dr. P gave a total of 184 DOSES of the vaccinations and that the polio vaccine has 4 doses, while the measles vaccine has 2 doses. This means that our second equation is 4x+2y=184. (This is equation #2)

You can get either variable (x or y) by itself from equation #1. I always choose x.

x+y=60

-y.     -y

x=60-y

Now we can plug our x value into equation #2.

4x+2y=184

4(60-y)+2y=184

240-4y+2y=184

240-2y=184

-240    -240

-2y=-56

/-2 /-2

y=28 measles vaccines

So we know that Dr. P administered 28 measles vaccines. We need to plug our y value back into equation #1 (or, to make it easier, our switched around equation) to find the number of polio vaccines.

x=60-y

x=60-28

x=32 polio vaccines

A pulley has an initial angular speed of 12.5 rad/s and a constant angular acceleration of 3.41 rad/s2. Through what angle does
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Angle turn pulley is 113 rad

Explanation:

given data

angular speed w = 12.5 rad/s

angular acceleration a 3.41 rad/s²

time t = 5.26 s

to find out

what angle does the pulley turn

solution

we get here angle by this equation that is here

angle  turn = w × t + 0.5 × a × t²     ......................1

put here value we get

angle  turn = w × t + 0.5 × a × t²

angle  turn = 12.5 × 5.26 + 0.5 × 3.41 × 5.26²

Angle turn =  65.75 + 47.17

Angle turn = 112.92 rad = 113 rad
