A rain gutter is to be constructed from a metal sheet of width 30 cm by bending up one-third of the sheet on each side through a

n angle θ . How should θ be chosen so that the gutter will carry the maximum amount of water?

Answer:

60

Explanation:

The volume of the water carried will be proportional to the cross-sectional area. The cross-section is a trapezoid with height 10sint, where t represents theta. The top of the trapezoid is 10+(2)(10cost), i.e. 10 + 20cost. The base of the trapezoid is 10.

Area of trapezoid = (average of bases) times (height)

= ([10 + (10 +20cost)] / 2 ) 10 sint

= (10 + 10cost)(10sint)

= 100sint + 100sintcost, call this A(t). You need to maximize. So differentiate and set equal to zero.

dA/dt = -100sin(t)^2+100cos(t)+100cos(t)^2 = 0, divide by 100:

-sin(t)^2 + cos(t) + cos(t)^2 = 0, replace sin^2 by 1-cos^2

2cos(t)^2 + cos(t) - 1 = 0, factor

(1+cos(t))(2cos(t)-1)=0, so  

cos(t)=1, t=0 that give a min (zero area) not a max, or

cos(t) = 1/2, so t=60 degrees. This gives the max.

What is the kinetic energy of a 150 gram object moving at a velocity of 100 m/s?
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

750 J

Explanation:

lets convert mass into kg first , 150 /1000 = 0.15 kg

kinetic energy =  \frac{mv^{2} }{2} =  \frac{0.15*100^{2} }{2}  = 750 J

Particle 1 and particle 2 have masses of m1 = 2.2 × 10-8 kg and m2 = 4.8 × 10-8 kg, but they carry the same charge q. The two pa
Lorico [155]

Answer:r_2=11.81 cm

Explanation:

Given

m_1=2.2\times 10^{-8} kg

m_2=4.8\times 10^{-8} kg

same charge on both masses

potential Energy due to Magnetic Field =Kinetic Energy of Particle

qV=\frac{mv^2}{2}

v=\sqrt{\frac{2qV}{m}}

and we know

Force due to magnetic field will Provide centripetal Force

qvB=\frac{mv^2}{r}

B=\frac{\sqrt{\frac{2Vm}{q}}}{r}

and B is equal for both particles

thus \frac{m}{r^2}=constant

\frac{m_1}{r_1^2}=\frac{m_2}{r_2^2}

r_2^2=\frac{4.8}{2.2}\times 8^2

r_2=11.81 cm

Orlov [11]

The geosphere interacts with the hydrosphere when water causes rock to erode. The atmosphere provides the geosphere with heat and energy for erosion, and the geosphere reflects the sun's energy back into the atmosphere.
