Answer:

Explanation:

Total length of the wire is 29 m.

Let the length of one piece is d and of another piece is 29 - d.

Let d is used to make a square.

And 29 - d is used to make an equilateral triangle.

(a)

Area of square = d²

Area of equilateral triangle = √3(29 - d)²/4

Total area,

A = d^{2}+\frac{\sqrt3}{4}\left ( 29-d \right )^{2}

Differentiate both sides with respect to d.

\frac{dA}{dt}=2d- \frac{\sqrt3}{4}\times 2(29-d)

For maxima and minima, dA/dt = 0

d = 8.76 m

Differentiate again we get the

\frac{d^{2}A}{dt^{2}}= + ve

(a) So, the area is maximum when the side of square is 29 m

(b) so, the area is minimum when the side of square is 8.76 m

What is the force of gravity for a 12 kg turkey?<br><br> Please help asap
pogonyaev

Answer: 117.6N

Explanation:

By the second Newton's law, we know that:

F = m*a

F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

We know that in the surface of the Earth, the gravitational acceleration is g = 9.8m/s^2.

Then we just can input that acceleration in the above equation, and also replace m by 12kg, and find that the force due the gravity is:

F = 12kg*9.8m/s^2 = 117.6N

Describe how sound waves are produced
Delvig [45]

Answer:

Sound waves are produced when something vibrates.  

Explanation:

The vibrating body causes the medium (water, air, etc.)  Vibrations in air are called traveling longitudinal waves, which we can hear. Sound waves consist of areas of high and low pressure called compressions and rarefactions, respectively.

Sorry if this if  wrong

In physics, a field refers to a quantity that has a value for every point in a space. In a sense, a field is like a function in
enyata [817]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Temperature at ground level is a field and it is scalar field .At any point in space near ground level  , the temperature is specific so it is a field .  It is scalar  because temperature has no direction .

b )

 Wind velocity at 100 feet above the ground is also a field but it is a vector field . At any point in space , the wind velocity is specific so it is a field .  It is vector   because velocity  has a particular  direction at any point .

c )

Gravitational force on Roessler Hall is a vector field because gravitational force also depends on location in space and it has direction.

d )

Height of a person in your group is not a space because it does not depend upon  location is space . It is same for all location .

e )

Height (above sea level) of the ground is a field  because it also depends upon location in space . It is scalar field .

f )

Slope of the surface of the earth is a scalar field .
