A closed box with square base is to be built to house an ant colony. the bottom of the box and all four sides are to be made of

material costing $2/ft2, and the top is to be constructed of glass costing $4/ft2. what are the dimensions of the box of greatest volume that can be constructed for $72? (enter the dimensions (in feet) as a comma separated list.)

Box has all sides same leinght(a). Area of that box is 6*a^2.
Cost of material for bottom and 4 sides is 2$/ft^2. Area of bottom and sides is A=5*a^2
Cost of material for top is 4$/ft^2. Area of top of the box is T=a^2

A*2+T*4=72
5*a^2*2+a^2*4=72
a^2*(10+4)=72
a^2*14=72, a^2=72/14, a=root(72/14), a=2.267ft
Dimensions of the box: leinght of sides 2.2ft. Area of hole box 30.835ft^2
Area of the bottom and sides: A=5*a^2=25.696ft^2
Area of the top : T=a^2=5.139ft^2
Check: A*2$+T*4$=71.95$

Answer:

90 meters

Explanation:

Given:

x₀ = 0 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 30 m/s

t = 6 s

Find:

x

x = x₀ + ½ (v + v₀)t

x = 0 + ½ (30 + 0)(6)

x = 90

The car travels 90 meters.

What are the similarities & differences between a thermistor and a light dependent resistor in physics?
viva [34]

An LDR's resistance changes with light intensity, while a thermistor's resistancce changes with temperature.

In dark, LDR's resistance is large and in the day/light LDR's resistance is small.

At low temperature, thermistor's resistance is large, while at large temperature it resistance is small.

In an LDR Resistance increases as light intensity falls, while in a thermistor resistance falls as temperature falls.
