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

An astronaut stands by the rim of a crater on the moon, where the acceleration of gravity is 1.62 m/. To determine the depth of
leva [86]

Answer;

=32.15 meters

Explanation;

Use the formula  

s= ut+ 0.5 a (t)^2 to find out 's'  

where s= distance traveled  

u=initial velocity which is zero in this case  

t= time taken to travel 's' distance  

a=acceleration (due to gravity on moon i.e 1.62 m/s^2 )  

Therefore;

S = 0.5 * 1.62 * 6.3 * 6.3

    = 32.1489 meters

Thus; the crater is 32.15 meters deep.

You are traveling at 14 m/s for 20 seconds. What is your displacement?
enyata [817]

Velocity = 14 m/s

Time = 20 s

Displacement = Velocity×Time = (14×20) m = 280 m

The displacement is 280 m towards the direction of motion.
