Answer:

<em>Volume = 36.4 m^3 or 9616.6 gallon</em>

<em>weight = 18025.47 N or 80213.33 lbs</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

A small family home in Tucson, Arizona, has a rooftop area of 1967 square feet, and it is possible to capture rain falling on about 56% of the roof. A typical annual rainfall is about 14 inches. If the family wanted to install a tank to capture the rain for an entire year, without using any of it, what would be the required volume of the tank in m3 and in gallons? How much would the water weigh when the tank was full (in N and in lbf)?

The area of the roof = 1967 ft^2

Area of water to be possibly captured = 56% of 1967 ft^2 = 0.56 x 1967 = 1101.52 ft^2

Rainfall depth = 14 inches = 14/12 ft = 1.167 ft

Volume of water = (area of water) x (depth of water) = 1101.52 ft^2 x 1.167 ft = <em>1285.47 ft^3</em>

<em></em>

35.315 ft^3 = 1 m^3

1285.47 ft^3 = x m^3

==> 1285.47/35.315 = <em>36.4 m^3</em>

<em></em>

1 ft^3 = 7.481 gallon

1285.47 ft^3 = x gallon

==> 1285.47 x 7.481 = <em>9616.6 gallon</em>

<em></em>

Weight of water W = ρv

where ρ is the density of water = 62.4 lbs/ft^3

v is the volume of water = 1285.47 ft^3

substituting values,

W = 62.4 x 1285.47 = <em>80213.33 lbs</em>

but,

1 lb = 4.45 N

therefore,

80213.33 lbs = 80213.33/4.45 = <em>18025.47 N</em>

bulgar [2K]
The 1.8 s is the time for the signal to reach the ocean floor and return to the ship so the time to reach ocean floor = 1.8 / 2 = 0.90 seconds.
depth of ocean = speed * time

=  1498 * 0.90  =  1348.2 m  Answer

The function h(t) = -16t^2 + 16t represents the height (in feet) of a horse (t) seconds after it jumps during a steeplechase.
Vladimir79 [104]
A.) To find the maximum height, we can take the derivative of h(t). This will give us the rate at which the horse jumps (velocity) at time t.

h'(t) = -32t + 16

When the horse reaches its maximum height, its position on h(t) will be at the top of the parabola. The slope at this point will be zero because the line tangent to the peak of a parabola is a horizontal line. By setting h'(t) equal to 0, we can find the critical numbers which will be the maximum and minimum t values.

-32t + 16 = 0

-32t = -16

t = 0.5 seconds

b.) To find out if the horse can clear a fence that is 3.5 feet tall, we can plug 0.5 in for t in h(t) and solve for the maximum height.

h(0.5) = -16(0.5)^2 + 16(-0.5) = 4 feet

If 4 is the maximum height the horse can jump, then yes, it can clear a 3.5 foot tall fence.

c.) We know that the horse is in the air whenever h(t) is greater than 0. 

-16t^2 + 16t = 0

-16t(t-1)=0

t = 0 and 1

So if the horse is on the ground at t = 0 and t = 1, then we know it was in the air for 1 second.

Given the volume is 105 inches³ for an 8 pound bowling ball, find the radius of the bowling ball,
mariarad [96]

Answer:

2.92

Step-by-step explanation:

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 \\ \\ 105=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 \\ \\ r^3=\frac{105}{\frac{4}{3}\pi} \\ \\ r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{105}{\frac{4}{3}\pi}}  \\ \\ r \approx 2.92

valentina_108 [34]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  316 lumens/m²

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume your intensity function is ...

  f(x) = 50,000(0.975^x) . . . . x meters below the surface

__

Use 200 for x and do the arithmetic.

  f(200) = 50,000(0.975^200) ≈ 316 . . . . lumens/m²
