Hydraulic engineers often use, as a unit of volume of water, the "acre-foot", defined as the volume of water that will cover 1 a

cre of land to a depth of 1 ft. A severe thunderstorm dumps 1.7 in. of rain in 30 min on a town of area 29 km2. What volume of water, in acre-feet, fell on the town?

Answer:

Volume = 1,015 acre-feet (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Rain = 1.7 in

Time = 30 min

Area = 29 km²

Find:

Volume in acre-feet

Computation:

1 km = 1,000 m

1 m = 3.28 feet

1 km² = 247.105 acre

d = 1.7 in = 1.7 / 12 = 0.14167 ft

Area = 29 × 247.105 = 7,166.045 acre

Volume = 7,166.045 acre × 0.14167 ft

Volume = 1,015 acre-feet (Approx)

The orbits of all the planets in the solar system are slightly elliptical with the exception of _______.
aksik [14]

Answer:

There is no exception to this. all planets have some eccentricity. it is physically impossible to have an orbit without any eccentricity. However, venus's orbit has the lowest (0.007) eccentricity (closest to circular) so that could be your answer.

Mercury's orbit's eccentricity 0.2

Venus's orbit's eccentricity 0.007 (this is the lowest so it may be your answer)

Earth's orbit's eccentricity 0.0167

Mars's orbit's eccentricity 0.0934

Jupiter's orbit's eccentricity 0.0489

Saturn's orbit's eccentricity 0.0565

Neptune's orbit's eccentricity 0.009

Uranus's (yur,in,iss) orbit's eccentricity 0.0457

Pluto's (not really a planet) orbit's eccentricity 0.2444 (very high)

hope it helped.

A 56 kg sprinter, starting from rest, runs 49 m in 7.0 s at constant acceleration.what is the sprinter's power output at 2.0 s,
alexgriva [62]
The sprinter is in uniform accelerated motion, and its initial velocity is zero, so the relationship betwen space (S) and time (t) is
S= \frac{1}{2} a t^2
where a is the acceleration. Using the data of the problem, we can find a:
a= \frac{2S}{t^2} = \frac{2 \cdot 49 m}{(7.0 s)^2} =2.0 m/s^2
So now we can solve the 3 parts of the problem.

a) power output at t=2.0 s
The velocity at t=2.0 s is
v(t)=at=(2.0 m/s^2)(2.0 s)=4.0 m/s

the kinetic energy of the sprinter is
K= \frac{1}{2} mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(56 kg)(4.0 m/s)^2=448 J

and so the power output is
P= \frac{E}{t} = \frac{448 J}{2.0 s} =224 W

b) power output at t=4.0s 
The velocity at t=4.0 s is
v(t)=at=(2.0 m/s^2)(4.0 s)=8.0 m/s

the kinetic energy of the sprinter is
K= \frac{1}{2} mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(56 kg)(8.0 m/s)^2=1792 J

and so the power output is
P= \frac{E}{t} = \frac{1792 J}{4.0 s} =448 W

c) Power output at t=6.0 s
The velocity at t=2.0 s is
v(t)=at=(2.0 m/s^2)(6.0 s)=12.0 m/s

the kinetic energy of the sprinter is
K= \frac{1}{2} mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(56 kg)(6.0 m/s)^2=4032 J

and so the power output is
P= \frac{E}{t} = \frac{4032 J}{6.0 s} =672 W

Calculate the magnitude of the total angular momentum of the woman–disk system. (assume that you can treat the woman as a point.
Mrac [35]
 <span>I of disk = 1/2MR² = (0.5)(230)(4.0)² = 1840 kgm² 
I of disk-woman system = I = 1/2MR² + md² = (50)(4.0)² = 1840 + 800 = 2640 kgm² 
L = Iw = (2640)(0.80)(2π) = 13,270 ≈ = 13,000 kgm²/s ANS
