Tutorial Exercise A rectangular box which is open at the top can be made from an 24-by-30-inch piece of metal by cutting a square from each corner and bending up the sides. Find the dimensions of the box with greatest volume, where h = height, l = length, and w = width. (Note: let the width be determined by the 24-inch side and the length by the 30-inch side.)

Answer:

The maximum volume is 1417.87 inch^3

Explanation:

<u>Optimization Using Derivatives</u>

We have a 24x30 inch piece of metal and we need to make a rectangular box by cutting a square from each corner of the piece and bending up the sides. The width of the piece is 24 inches and its length is 30 inches

When we cut a square of each corner of side x, the base of the box (after bending up the sides) will be (24-2x) and (30-2x), width and length respectively. The volume of the box is

V=(24-2x)(30-2x)x

Operating

V=4x^3-108x^2+720x

To find the maximum value of V, we compute the first derivative and equate it to zero

V'=12x^2-216x+720=0

Simplifying by 12

x^2-18x+60=0

Completing squares

x^2-18x+81-81+60=0

(x-9)^2=21

We have two values for x

x=9+\sqrt{21}=13.58\ inch

x=9-\sqrt{21}=4.42\ inch

The first value is not feasible because it will produce a negative width (24-2(13.58))=-6.16

We'll keep only the solution

x=4.42\ inch

The width is

w=(24-2(4.42))=15.16\ inch

The length is

l=(30-2(4.42))=21.16\ inch

And the height

x=4.42\ inch

The maximum volume is

V=(15.16)(21.16)(4.42)=1417.87\ inch^3

Velocity can best be described by which of the following statements?
pogonyaev

Answer: Velocity can best be described as, the speed in a given direction.

Explanation: To find the answer, we need to know more about the Velocity of a body.

<h3>What is Velocity of a body?</h3>
  • Velocity is the rate of change of displacement.
  • It's a vector quantity and is measured in m/s.
  • It can be positive, negative or zero.
  • A body is said to be in uniform motion, then its velocity remains constant.
  • Change in velocity can be a change in speed.
  • The magnitude of velocity is less than or equal to speed.

Thus, we can conclude that, the option C is best describing velocity.

If the Earth and distant stars were stationary (motionless) in space, what would we observe about the wavelength from these star
dangina [55]
1) In the first case, the correct answer is
<span>A.Wavelengths measured would match the actual wavelengths emitted.
In fact, the stars are not moving relative to Earth, so there is no shift in the measured wavelength.

2) In this second case, the correct answer is
</span><span>A.Wavelengths measured would be shorter than the actual wavelengths emitted.
</span>in fact, since the stars in this case are moving towards the Earth, then apparent frequency of their emitted light will be larger than the actual frequency, because of the Doppler effect, according to the formula:
f'= \frac{c}{c+v_s} f_0
where f0 is the actual frequency, f' the apparent frequency, c the speed of light and vs the velocity of the source (the stars) relative to the obsever (Earth). Vs is negative when the source is moving towards the observer, so the apparent frequency f' is larger than the actual frequency f0. But the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency, so the apparent wavelength will be shorter than the actual wavelength.

Can we use momentum to see how fast the earth is going?
Kisachek [45]

Yes, if we know the Earth's mass

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is a vector quantity given by the equation

p=mv

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its velocity

In this case, we are asked if we can find the velocity of the Earth by starting from its momentum. Indeed, we can. In fact, we can rewrite the equation above as

v=\frac{p}{m}

Therefore, if we know the momentum of the Earth (p) and we know its mass as well (m), we can solve the formula to find the Earth's velocity.

HELP PLS
melomori [17]

If the field is in a vacuum, the magnetic field is the dominant factor determining the motion. Since the magnetic force is perpendicular to the direction of travel, a charged particle follows a curved path in a magnetic field. The particle continues to follow this curved path until it forms a complete circle. Another way to look at this is that the magnetic force is always perpendicular to velocity, so that it does no work on the charged particle. The particle’s kinetic energy and speed thus remain constant. The direction of motion is affected but not the speed.

A negatively charged particle moves in the plane of the paper in a region where the magnetic field is perpendicular to the paper (represented by the small × ’s—like the tails of arrows). The magnetic force is perpendicular to the velocity, so velocity changes in direction but not magnitude. The result is uniform circular motion.
