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

Which measurement is a potential difference?
balu736 [363]

Answer:

Potential difference (V) – is measured in volts (V).

A potential difference of 1 V means that 1 joule of work is done per coulomb of charge. ( 1 V = 1 J C-1) Potential difference in a circuit is measured using a voltmeter which is placed in parallel with the component of interest in the circuit.

A 10-kg mass slides down a flat hill that makes an angle of 10° with the horizontal. If friction is negligible, what is the resu
slega [8]

Answer:

Resultant force = 17.02 N

Explanation:

As we assume the coefficient of friction is negligible, the normal force won't affect the resultant force.

As a result of this, the sine of the angle times the force of gravity on the 10 kg mass is equal to the resultant force, which is, force due to gravity = m × a = 10 kg × 9.8 m/s² = 98 N

98 sin(10)=?

Sin(10)= 0.1736

98 x 0.1736= 17.02 N.

Therefore, the resultant force = 17.02 N

when striking, the pike, a predatory fish, can accelerate from rest to a speed of 4.0 m/sm/s in 0.15 ss
Alina [70]

The distance covered will  be 0.301m.

firstly we will new to calculate acceleration (a).

we can do so using newtons first law of motion.

v=u + a × t

where

a is the acceleration

t is the time

from here we get

a=(v-u)/t

a=(4-0)/0.15

a=26.67m/s²

using newtons second law of motion

s=u.t+1/2at²

where s is distance travelled in t seconds.

we get,

s=0.301m
