A suspension bridge has twin towers that are 1300 feet apart. Each tower extends 180 feet above the road surface. The cables are

parabolic in shape and are suspended from the tops of the towers. The cables touch the road surface at the center of the bridge. Find the height of the cable at a point 200 feet from the center of the bridge.

Answer:

y = 17.04 ft

Explanation:

Since the cable touches the road at the mid point of two towers

so here we have vertex at that mid point taken to be origin

now the maximum height on the either side is given as

y = 180 ft

horizontal distance of the tower from mid point is given as

x = \frac{1300}{2} = 650 ft

now from the equation of parabola we have

y = k x^2

180 = k(650^2)

k = 4.26 \times 10^{-4}

now we have

y = (4.26 \times 10^{-4})x^2

now we need to find the height at distance of 200 ft from center

so we have

y = (4.26 \times 10^{-4})(200^2)

y = 17.04 ft

Explain how waves, energy, and matter are related
Stels [109]

Answer:

Mechanical waves need matter to transfer energy while electromagnetic waves do not. ... Waves change direction when they move from one material into another (matter) through the process of refraction. The wave will change direction when the speed of the wave changes.

What is the correct equation for calculating the average atomic mass for 3 isotopes? (pls be 100%of your answer pls no guessing)
mariarad [96]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The correct equation for measuring the average microscopic weight  for 3 isotopes is multiply the rate of abundance by each weight and add them.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the average microscopic mass of element using weights and relative abundance we have to follow the following steps.

  • Take the correct weight of each isotope (that will be in decimal form)
  • Multiply the weight of each isotope by its abundance
  • Add each of the results together.

<em>This gives the required  average microscopic weight of the three isotopes.</em>
