Coastal erosion has depleted a large portion of South Louisiana's wetlands along the coastline in swamps and marshes mainly due to storm surges. But other factors also contributed to this erosion. Canals and waterways dug through the marshes and swamps for the oil industry is one factor. Man-made levees erected to provide protection to residents living adjacent to the river is another major cause. Large scale logging especially in the early 1900's also damaged the wetlands.

A spring has a spring constant of 53N/m. How much elastic potential energy is stored in the spring in the spring when it is comp

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:11686.5 joules

Explanation:

elastic constant(k)=53N/m

extension(e)=21m

Elastic potential energy=(k x e^2)/2

Elastic potential energy=(53 x (21)^2)/2

Elastic potential energy=(53x21x21)/2

Elastic potential energy=23373/2

Elastic potential energy=11686.5

Elastic potential energy is 11686.5 joules

A square piece of tin has 12 inches on a side. An open box is formed by cutting out equal square pieces at the corners and bendi

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given a square Piece whose side is 12 inches

Now square pieces are cut from each corner to make it a open box

Suppose x is the length of square piece at each corner

then

base square has a length of $12-2x$

Dimension of new box is $(12-2x)\times (12-2x)\times x$

Volume $V=(12-2x)\times (12-2x)\times x$

$V=\left ( 12-2x\right )^2\cdot x$

For maximum volume differentiate with respect to x we get

$\Rightarrow\frac{\mathrm{d} V}{\mathrm{d} x}=2\times \left ( 12-2x\right )\times \left ( -2\right )\cdot x+\left ( 12-2x\right )^2=0$

we get x=6 and 4 but at x=6 volume becomes zero therefore x=4 is valid

$V=\left ( 12-2\cdot 4\right )^2\cdot 4$

$V=4^3$

$V=64\ in.^3$

A 2500 kg car traveling to the north is slowed down uniformly from an initial velocity of 20 m/s by a 5620 N braking force actin

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

the distance traveled by the car is 42.98 m.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the car, m = 2500 kg

initial velocity of the car, u = 20 m/s

the braking force applied to the car, f = 5620 N

time of motion of the car, t = 2.5 s

The decelaration of the car is calculated as follows;

-F = ma

a = -F/m

a = -5620 / 2500

a = -2.248 m/s²

The distance traveled by the car is calculated as follows;

s = ut + ¹/₂at²

s = (20 x 2.5) + 0.5(-2.248)(2.5²)

s = 50 - 7.025

s = 42.98 m

Therefore, the distance traveled by the car is 42.98 m.
