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)

An astronaut drops a rock from the top of a crater on the moon. When the rock is halfway down to the bottom of the crater, its s
Alexxx [7]

Answer: vf1/vf2= 1/ sqrt(2)

Explanation :on the moon no drag force so we have only the  force of gravity. aceleration is g(moon)= 1.62m/s2.the rest is basic kinematics

if the rock travels H to the bottom we can calculate velocity:

vo=0m/s (drops the rock)  , yo=0

vf*vf= vo*vo+2g(y-yo)

when the rock is halfway  y = H/2 so:

vf1*vf1=2*g*H/2 so vf1 = sqrt(gH)

when the rock reach the bottom y=H so:

vf2*vf2=2*g*H so vf2 = sqrt(2gH)

so vf1/vf2= 1/ sqrt(2)

good luck from colombia

A charge of 0.91 C is spread uniformly throughout a 25 cm rod of radius 4 mm. What are the volume and linear charge densities
Oxana [17]

The volume of the rod is 1.26×10⁻⁵ m³, and the linear charge density of the rod is 3.64 C/m

<h3>What is volume?:</h3>

This is the product of the height of a solid object and its crossectional area.

The Volume of the rod is can be calculated using the formula below.

Note: A rod has the shape of a cylinder.

Formula:

  • V = πr²h............... Equation 1

Where:

  • V = Volume of the rod
  • r = radius of the rod
  • h = height of the rod.

From the question,

Given:

  • r = 4mm = 0.004 m
  • h = 25 cm = 0.25 m
  • π = 3.14

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • V = 3.14(0.004²)(0.25)
  • V = 1.26×10⁻⁵ m³

<h3>What is linear charge density:</h3>

This is the ratio of the charge on an object to the length of the object.

The linear charge density of the rod can be calculated using the formula below.

  • D = Q/h.................... Equation 2

Where:

  • D = Linear charge density of the rod
  • Q = Charge on the rod.
  • h = height or length of the rod

From the question

Given:

  • Q = 0.91 C
  • h = 25 cm = 0.25 m

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • D = 0.91/0.25
  • D = 3.64 C/m

Hence, The volume of the rod is 1.26×10⁻⁵ m³, and the linear charge density of the rod is 3.64 C/m

Walt ran 5 km in 25 minutes going east to what was his average velocity
goldenfox [79]

distance d = 5 km = 5 x 1000 m = 5000 m

time taken = 25 minute = 25 x 60 sec = 1500 sec

average velocity V = d/t

V = 5000/1500

V = 3.33 m/s towards east
