Two brothers are digging a drainage ditch for a french drain around their home. The ditch is to be 2 feet deep, 1 foot wide, and

40 feet long. The older brother can dig the ditch in 14 hours. The younger brother can dig the ditch in 17 hours. How long will the two brothers working together take to dig the ditch? (Round your answer to the nearest tenth.)

Answer:

The two brothers working together will take 7.7 hours to dig the entire ditch.

Explanation:

Assuming T to be the total amount of time taken by both brothers working together, we can say

  • 1/T ditch/hour to be the rate at which both brothers dig the ditch  together
  • 1/14 ditch/hour to be the rate at which the older brother digs the ditch
  • 1/17 ditch/hour to be the rate at which the younger brother digs the ditch

So the rate at which both brothers dig the ditch can be calculated by the equation,

1/T = 1/14 + 1/17

T = 238/31 = 7.7 (rounded off to the nearest tenth)

A uniform rod is 2. 0 m long and has mass 15 kg. What is most nearly the rod's mass moment of inertia?
trapecia [35]

The rod's mass moment of inertia is 5kgm².

<h3>Moment of Inertia:</h3>

The "sum of the product of mass" of each particle with the "square of its distance from the axis of rotation" is the formula for the moment of inertia.

The Parallel axis Theorem can be used to compute the moment of inertia about the end of the rod directly or to derive it from the center of mass expression. I = kg m². We can use the equation for I of a cylinder around its end if the thickness is not insignificant.

If we look at the rod we can assume that it is uniform. Therefore the linear density will remain constant and we have;

or = M / L = dm / dl

dm = (M / L) dl

I =  \int\limits^M_0 {r^2} \, dm

I = \int\limits^\frac{L}{2} _\frac{-L}{2}  {I^2 (M/L)} \, dl

Here the variable of the integration is the length (dl). The limits have changed from M to the required fraction of L.

I = \int\limits^\frac{L}{2} _\frac{-L}{2}  {I^2 (M/L)} \, dl

I = \frac{M}3L}[(\frac{L^3}{2^3}   - \frac{-L^3}{2^3} )]\\\\I = \frac{1}{12}ML^2

Mass of the rod = 15 kg

Length of the rod = 2.0 m

Moment of Inertia, I = \frac{1}{12}15 (2)^2

                               = 5 kgm²

Therefore, the moment of inertia is 5kgm².

Which of the following represents an upright image? <br> A. -do<br> B. +m<br> C. -m<br> D. +do
Tom [10]

Answer:

B. +m

Explanation:

The magnification of an image is defined as the ratio between the size of the image and of the object:

m = \frac{y'}{y}

where we have

y' = size of the image

y = size of the object

There are two possible situations:

- When m is positive, y' has same sign as y: this means that the image image is upright

- When m is negative, y' has opposite sign to y: this means that the image is upside down

Therefore, the correct option representing an upright image is

B. +m

What do you notice about the wavelength versus the frequency of the wave?
Dominik [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

The number of complete wavelengths in a given unit of time is called frequency (f). As a wavelength increases in size, its frequency and energy (E) decrease. From these equations you may realize that as the frequency increases, the wavelength gets shorter. As the frequency decreases, the wavelength gets longer.
