A rectangular study area is to be enclosed by a fence and divided into two equal parts, with the fence running along the divisio

n parallel to one of the sides. If the total area is 384 square feet, find the dimensions of the study area that will minimize the total length of the fence. How much fencing will be required?

Answer:

Explanation:

Let l be the length of the study area and w be the width of study area.

Area of rectangular part = l x w

A = l x w

384 = l x w

w = 384 / l .... (1)

length of the fence is equal to the perimeter.

P = 2 ( l + w)

P = 2\left ( l +\frac{384}{l} \right )   from equation (1)

Differentiate with respect to l

\frac{dP}{dl} = 2\left ( 1 -\frac{384}{l^{2}} \right )

for maxima and minima, it is equal to zero

\left ( 1 -\frac{384}{l^{2}} \right )=0

l = 19.6 ft

so w = 19.6 ft

So, the required fencing = 2 ( 19.6 + 19.6) = 78.4 ft

What is a Non-Example of Newton's 1st law?
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Say a 14 year old girl was at a construction site and she was asked to move something like a 10,000 pound brick( one brick). She would be acting on it as the unbalanced force but they would still not change their position.

so to say the girl would be doing everything she could to move that brick but the brick would still be in that same spot so the unbalanced force (the girl) would be acting on the thing that was at rest but it wouldn't move.

so the unbalanced force would not really be acting on the thing at rest; even though the unbalanced force was doing something to the brick.

( just think about it and you will eventually get it...just imagine in your head...)

A ball is dropped from an aircraft flying at an altitude of 8,848 meters assuming gravity is 9.8m/s what is the total amount of
Dafna11 [192]
In this question, you're determining the time (t) taken for an object to fall from a distance (d).

The equation to represent this is:
Time equals the square root of 2 times the distance divided by the gravitational force of earth.
In equation from it looks like this (there isn't an icon to represent square root so just pretend like there's a square root there):
t = 2d/g (square-rooted)

d = 8,848m and g = 9.8m/s

Now plug in the information we have:
t = 2 x 8,848m/9.8m/s (square-rooted)

The first step is to multiply 2 times 8,848m:
t = 17,696m/9.8m/s (square-rooted)

Now divide 9.8m/s by 17,696m (note that the two m's (meters) cancels out leaving you with only s (seconds):
t = 1805.72s (square-rooted)

Now for the last step, find the square root of the remaining number:
t = 42.5s

So the time it takes the ball to drop from the height (distance) of 8,848 meters, and falling with the gravitational pull of 9.8 meters per second is 42.5 seconds.

I hope this helps :)
