The position of a particle moving along a straight line is defined by the relation. s = t^3 – 6t^2 – 15t + 40, where s is expres

sed in feet and t in seconds. Determine:(a) s when t = 3 seconds.(b) v when t = 5 seconds. (c) a when t = 4 seconds.(d) the time when the velocity is equal to zero. What is important about this information?

Answer:

1) s(3) = -32 feet.

2)v(5) = 3 feet/sec

3)a(4) = 12feet/s^{2}

4) Velocity becomes zero at t = 5 seconds

Explanation:

Given that position as a function of time is

s(t)=t^{3}-6t^{2}-15t+40

Now by definition of velocity we have

v=\frac{ds}{dt}\\\\v=\frac{d}{dt}(t^{3}-6t^{2}-15t+40)\\\\\therefore v(t)=3t^{2}-12t-15

Now by definition of acceleration we have

a=\frac{dv}{dt}\\\\a=\frac{d}{dt}(3t^{2}-12t-15)\\\\\therefore a(t)=6t-12

Applying values of time in corresponding equations we get

1) s(3)=3^{3}-6\times (3)^{2}-15\times 3+40=-32feet

2)v(5)=3\times {5}^{2}-12\times 5-15=3feet/sec

3)a(4)=6\times 4-12=12ft/s^{2}

4)To obatin the time at which velocity is zero equate the velocity function with zero we get

3t^{2}-12t-15=0\\\\t^{2}-4t-5=0\\\\t^{2}-5t+t-5=0\\\\t(t-5)+1(t-5)=0\\\\(t-5)(t+1)=0\\\\\therefore t=5\\\\or\\\therefore t=-1

Thus the correct time is 5 seconds at which velocity becomes zero.

A company, studying the relation between job satisfaction and length of service of employees, classified employees into three le
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Below see details

Explanation:

A) It is attached. Please see the picture

B) First to calculate the overall mean,  

μ=65∗25/75+80∗25/75+95∗25/75  

μ=65∗25/75+80∗25/75+95∗25/75 = 80

Next to calculate E(MSTR) = σ2+(1/r−1) ∑ni(μi−μ)^2 = 5634

And E(MSE) = σ^2= 9

C) Yes, it is substantially large than E(MSE) in this case.

D) If we sampled 25 employees from each group, we are likely to get a F statistics to indicate differences of job satisfactions among three types of length of service of employees.

Which allows a user to run applications on a computing device? Group of answer choices Application software CSS Operating system
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

The operating system

Explanation:

The job of the operating system is to manage system resources allowing the abstraction of the hardware, providing a simple user interface for the user.  The operating system is also responsible for handling application's access to system resources.

For this purpose, the operating system allows a user to run applications on their computing device.

Cheers.

The dam cross section is an equilateral triangle, with a side length, L, of 50 m. Its width into the paper, b, is 100 m. The dam
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

In an equilateral trinagle the center of mass is at 1/3 of the height and horizontally centered.

We can consider that the weigth applies a torque of T = W*b/2 on the right corner, being W the weight and b the base of the triangle.

The weigth depends on the size and specific gravity.

W = 1/2 * b * h * L * SG

Then

Teq = 1/2 * b * h * L * SG * b / 2

Teq = 1/4 * b^2 * h * L * SG

The water would apply a torque of elements of pressure integrated over the area and multiplied by the height at which they are apllied:

T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {p(y) * sin(30) * L * (h-y)} \, dy

The term sin(30) is because of the slope of the wall

The pressure of water is:

p(y) = SGw * (h - y)

Then:

T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {SGw * (h-y) * sin(30) * L * (h-y)} \, dy

T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {SGw * sin(30) * L * (h-y)^2} \, dy

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * \int\limits^h_0 {(h-y)^2} \, dy

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * \int\limits^h_0 {(h-y)^2} \, dy

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * \int\limits^h_0 {h^2 - 2*h*y + y^2} \, dy

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^2*y - h*y^2 + 1/3*y^3)(evaluated between 0 and h)

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^2*h - h*h^2 + 1/3*h^3)

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^3 - h^3 + 1/3*h^3)

T1 = 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * h^3

To remain stable the equilibrant torque (Teq) must be of larger magnitude than the water pressure torque (T1)

1/4 * b^2 * h * L * SG > 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * h^3

In an equilateral triangle h = b * cos(30)

1/4 * b^3 * cos(30) * L * SG  > 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * b^3 * (cos(30))^3

SG > SGw * 4/3* sin(30) * (cos(30))^2

SG > 1/2 * SGw

For the dam to hold, it should have a specific gravity of at leas half the specific gravity of water.

This is avergae specific gravity, including holes.

A ductile hot-rolled steel bar has a minimum yield strength in tension and compression of Syt = 60 kpsi and Syc = 75 kpsi. Using
kow [346]

Answer:

2.135

Explanation:

Lets make use of these variables

Ox 16.5 kpsi, and Oy --14,5 kpsi

To determine the factor of safety for the states of plane stress. We have to first understand the concept of Coulomb-Mohr theory.

Mohr–Coulomb theory is a mathematical model describing the response of brittle materials such as concrete, or rubble piles, to shear stress as well as normal stress.

Please refer to attachment for the step by step solution.
