Answer:

Explanation:

Given

volume V=16 ft^3

Suppose base is square with side L

height of crate is h

Volume V=L^2\times h

16=L^2\times h

Cost of top and bottom area c_1=3L^2

Cost of Side area c_2=4Lh\times 2=8Lh=8L\times \frac{16}{L^2}=\frac{128}{L}

Total Cost C=c_1+c_2

Total Cost C=3L^2+\frac{128}{L}

Differentiate C w.r.t Length

\frac{dC}{dL}=6L-\frac{128}{L^2}

L^3=\frac{128}{6}

L=2.75 ft

h=\frac{16}{2.75^2}=11.46 ft

Dimensions are L\times L\times h=2.75\times 2.75\times 11.46

siniylev [52]

Answer:

11.3 m/s

Explanation:

KE₁ = KE₂

½m₁v₁² = ½m₂v₂²

½ (2 kg) v² = ½ (4 kg) (8 m/s)²

v ≈ 11.3 m/s

Lonnie pitches a baseball of mass 0.20 kg. The ball arrives at home plate with a speed of 40 m/s and is batted straight back to
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

B) 20N.s is the correct answer

Explanation:

The formula for the impulse is given as:

Impulse = change in momentum

Impulse = mass × change in speed

Impulse = m × ΔV

Given:

initial speed  = 40m/s

Final speed = -60 m/s (Since the the ball will now move in the opposite direction after hitting the bat, the speed is negative)

mass = 0.20 kg

Thus, we have

Impulse = 0.20 × (40m/s - (-60)m/s)

Impulse = 0.20 × 100 = 20 kg-m/s or 20 N.s
