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 function​ s(t) represents the position of an object at time t moving along a line. Suppose s (2 )equals 146and s (6 )equals
sineoko [7]

Answer:

v(t) = 27 units

Explanation:

The function s(t) represents the position of an object at time t moving along a line such that,

s(2)=146

and

s(6)=254

We need to find the average velocity of the object over the interval of time [2,6]. The velocity of the object is equal to the total distance divided by time. It is given by :

v(t)=\dfrac{s(6)-s(2)}{6-2}

v(t)=\dfrac{254-146}{6-2}

v(t) = 27 units

So, the  average velocity of the object is 27 units. Hence, this is the required solution.

A box is pushed horizontally with constant speed across a rough horizontal surface. Which of the following must be true?
Pavel [41]
D

Because if an object is moving at a constant speed the force of friction must equal the applied (horizontal) force, and for it to be accelerating or decelerating, the force of friction and the applied force must be unequal

Arunner starts from rest and accelerates uniformly to a speed of 8.0 meters per
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

2.0 m/s/s

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is the rate of change of velocity of the object.

Mathematically, it is given by:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time taken for the velocity to change from u to v

Acceleration is a vector, so it has both a magnitude and a direction.

For the runner in this problem, we have:

u = 0 is the initial velocity (he starts from rest)

v = 8.0 m/s is the final velocity

t = 4.0 s is the time taken

Substituting, we find

a=\frac{8.0-0}{4.0}=2.0 m/s^2

A plane is flying east when it drops some supplies to a designated target below. The supplies land after falling for 10 seconds.
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

solution:

As Given plane is flying in east direction.

It throws back some supplies to designated target.

Time taken by the supply to reach the target =10 seconds

g = Acceleration due to gravity = - 9.8 m/s²[Taken negative as object is falling Downwards]

As we have to find distance from the ground to plane which is given by d.

d = \frac{1}{2}\times g\times t^2

 = \frac{1}{2}\times (9.8) \times(100) =50\times 9.8=490 meters

Distance from the ground where supplies has to be land  to plane  =  Option B =490 meters
