Suppose you are climbing a hill whose shape is given by the equation z = 2000 − 0.005x2 − 0.01y2, where x, y, and z are measured

in meters, and you are standing at a point with coordinates (60, 40, 1966). The positive x-axis points east and the positive y-axis points north. (a) If you walk due south, will you start to ascend or descend? ascend descend Correct: Your answer is correct. At what rate? Correct: Your answer is correct. vertical meters per horizontal meter (b) If you walk northwest, will you start to ascend or descend? ascend descend Correct: Your answer is correct. At what rate? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) Correct: Your answer is correct. vertical meters per horizontal meter (c) In which direction is the slope largest? What is the rate of ascent in that direction? vertical meters per horizontal meter At what angle above the horizontal does the path in that direction begin? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Answer:

(a) Ascend at 0.8 vertical meter/meter

(b) Descend at -0.2·√2 vertical meter/meter

(c) In the (-0.6, -0.8) direction. The path begins at 45° to the horizontal

Explanation:

The given equation of the shape of the hill is z = 2000 - 0.005·x² - 0.01·y²

The current location = (60, 40, 1966)  

The direction of the positive x-axis = east

The direction of the positive y-axis = north

(a) Walking due south = Reducing the y-value 40

From the equation, the elevation varies inversely with the motion towards the north

Therefore, walking south increases the elevation, and we ascend

The rate is given by the partial derivative at in the -j direction, which is 0.02

The rate is therefore 40 × 0.02 = 0.8

(b)The unit vector in the northwest direction u = 1/√2·(-1, 1)

∴ The rate = (-0.01(60), -0.02(40))·u = (-0.6, -0.8)·1/√2·(-1, 1) = -0.2·√2

Therefore we descend

(c) The slope is largest in the grad of the function at the point (60, 40) which is given as follows;

d(2000 - 0.005·x² - 0.01·y² )/dx, d(2000 - 0.005·x² - 0.01·y² )/dy = (-0.6, -0.8)

Therefore, the direction is tan⁻¹(-0.8/-0.6) ≈ S 36.87° W

The slope =(√((-0.4)² + (-0.8)²) = 1

Therefore, the angle is 45° to the horizontal.

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

C=2.32\times 10^{-4}\ Ns^2/m^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the golf ball, m = 46 g = 0.046 kg

Terminal speed of the ball, v = 44 m/s

The drag force, F_r=Cv^2

Where, C is the drag coefficient. At terminal speed, the weight of the ball is balanced by the drag force.

Cv^2=mg

C=\dfrac{mg}{v^2}

C=\dfrac{0.046\times 9.8}{(44)^2}

C=2.32\times 10^{-4}\ Ns^2/m^2

Hence, this is the required solution.

Examine the lightbulbs in the circuit below. Write a sentence explaining what would happen if lightbulb A burned out. Repeat thi
tatiyna

If the lightbulb A in the circuit shown in the image burned out, the path for the  current to flow is disrupted because one of its terminals is connected direct to the source. So, there will be no current through the lightbulbs B, C, and D, and they will turn off. Similarly it will happen, if the lightbulb D burned out.

If the lightbulb B burned out the current will continue circulating through the lightbulbs A, C, and D, because lightbulb B is connected in parallel. Similarly it will happen, if the lightbulb C burned out.

Which of these statements is true about endothermic reactions, but not about exothermic reactions?
sashaice [31]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. For endothermic reactions, the reactants have less energy than the products. Which would mean that energy should be added to the reaction for it to proceed. Hope this answers the question.

Estimate the mass of the Great Pyramid of Giza, in tons. You make may use of the following information: the Great Pyramid is in
postnew [5]

Answer:

6005803.83105 short tons

Explanation:

The definition of density is \rho = \frac{m}{V}, and the volume of a pyramid is (confusingly written on the proposal) V=\frac{1}{3} Ah, so we can write:

m=\rho V=\rho V \frac{1}{3} Ah=\rho V \frac{1}{3} s^2h

Where s is the side of the base, being s^2 the area of that square.

We will write everything in S.I., and the best way to convert units is using conversion factors, for example, since 1m=100cm, we know that \frac{1m}{100cm}=1, and we can use this factor to convert anything written in cm to anything written in m. Example:

500cm=500cm\frac{1m}{100cm}=5m

Here we just multiplied 500cm by something that is equal to 1 (as every conversion factor must), so <em>it's not doing anything but changing the units</em>.

We can use this tool like this:

2.1\frac{g}{cm^3}=2.1\frac{g}{cm^3}(\frac{1Kg}{1000g})(\frac{100cm}{1m})^3=2100Kg/m^3

Where we have used the fact that 1^3=1 (<u>we can elevate any conversion factor to any number and they still will be 1</u>) and where we have placed strategically what is the numerator and what in the denominator so the units we don't want cancel out and the units we want appear.

Substituting then our values:

m=\rho V \frac{1}{3} s^2h=(2100Kg/m^3)\frac{1}{3} (230.34m)^2(146.7m)=5448373586.96Kg

And now we will convert to short tons using two conversion factors at the same time:

m=5448373586.96\ Kg(\frac{1\ lb}{0.45359237\ Kg})(\frac{1\ short\ ton}{2000\ lb} )=6005803.83105\ short \ tons

Remember, their value is 1, and we place the units to cancel the ones we don't want and keep the ones we want, here Kg cancel out, and lb cancel out, leaving the short tones.
