A trough is 16 ft long and its ends have the shape of isosceles triangles that are 4 ft across at the top and have a height of 1

ft. If the trough is being filled with water at a rate of 15 ft3/min, how fast is the water level rising when the water is 5 inches deep?

Answer:

\frac{dh}{dt} = 0.562

Explanation:

given data:

rate of filling  = 15 ft3/min

determine dh\dt  when height is water is 5 inch

as from the similar triangle

\frac{4}{1} = \frac{b}{h}

b =4 h

we know that

volume = (area of base of trough){height of trough)

           = \frac{1}{2}* (base of triangle of water* height of triangle of water)(16)

           = \frac{1}{2}*4h*h*16

            = 32h^{2}

Differentiate w.r.t to t

v(t) =32h^{2}

\frac{d}{dt} v(t) = \frac{d}{dt} 32h^{2}

\frac{dv}{dt} = 64h\frac{dh}{dt}

we know h = 5 inch = 0.4166 ft

\frac{dv}{dt} = 15

15 = 64*0.4166\frac{dh}{dt}

\frac{dh}{dt} = 0.562

Applying the Law of Conservation of Energy. If a car was released down the track from a height what happens to the potential ene
erastova [34]

Answer:

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created or destroyed,  although it can be changed from one form to another.    KE + PE = constant. A simple example involves a stationary car at the top of a hill.  As the car coasts down the hill, it moves faster and so it’s kinetic energy increases and it’s potential energy decreases.  On the way back up the hill, the car converts kinetic energy to potential energy.  In the absence of friction, the car should end up at the same height as it started.

This law had to be combined with the law of conservation of mass when it was determined that mass can be inter-converted with energy.

One can also imagine the energy transformation in a pendulum.  When the ball is at the top of its swing, all of the pendulum’s energy is potential energy.   When the ball is at the bottom of its swing, all of the pendulum’s energy is kinetic energy.   The total energy of the ball stays the same but is continuously exchanged between kinetic and potential forms

A transverse wave on a string is described by the wave functiony(x, t) = 0.350 sin (1.25x + 99.6t)where x and y are in meters an
ella [17]

The time interval that is between the first two instants when the element has a position of 0.175 is 0.0683.

<h3>How to solve for the time interval</h3>

We have y = 0.175

y(x, t) = 0.350 sin (1.25x + 99.6t) = 0.175

sin (1.25x + 99.6t) = 0.175

sin (1.25x + 99.6t) = 0.5

99.62 = pi/6

t1 = 5.257 x 10⁻³

99.6t = pi/6 + 2pi

= 0.0683

The time interval that is between the first two instants when the element has a position of 0.175 is 0.0683.

b. we have k = 1.25, w = 99.6t

v = w/k

99.6/1.25 = 79.68

s = vt

= 79.68 * 0.0683

= 5.02

A transverse wave on a string is described by the wave function y(x, t) = 0.350 sin (1.25x + 99.6t) where x and y are in meters and t is in seconds. Consider the element of the string at x=0. (a) What is the time interval between the first two instants when this element has a position of y= 0.175 m? (b) What distance does the wave travel during the time interval found in part (a)?
