A gasoline tank has the shape of an inverted right circular cone with base radius 4 meters and height 5 meters. Gasoline is bein
RSB [31]

Answer:

h'=0.25m/s

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we need to start by drawing a diagram of the given situation. (See attached image).

So, the problem talks about an inverted circular cone with a given height and radius. The problem also tells us that water is being pumped into the tank at a rate of 8m^{3}/s. As you  may see, the problem is talking about a rate of volume over time. So we need to relate the volume, with the height of the cone with its radius. This relation is found on the volume of a cone formula:

V_{cone}=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2}h

notie the volume formula has two unknowns or variables, so we need to relate the radius with the height with an equation we can use to rewrite our volume formula in terms of either the radius or the height. Since in this case the problem wants us to find the rate of change over time of the height of the gasoline tank, we will need to rewrite our formula in terms of the height h.

If we take a look at a cross section of the cone, we can see that we can use similar triangles to find the equation we are looking for. When using similar triangles we get:

\frac {r}{h}=\frac{4}{5}

When solving for r, we get:

r=\frac{4}{5}h

so we can substitute this into our volume of a cone formula:

V_{cone}=\frac{1}{3} \pi (\frac{4}{5}h)^{2}h

which simplifies to:

V_{cone}=\frac{1}{3} \pi (\frac{16}{25}h^{2})h

V_{cone}=\frac{16}{75} \pi h^{3}

So now we can proceed and find the partial derivative over time of each of the sides of the equation, so we get:

\frac{dV}{dt}= \frac{16}{75} \pi (3)h^{2} \frac{dh}{dt}

Which simplifies to:

\frac{dV}{dt}= \frac{16}{25} \pi h^{2} \frac{dh}{dt}

So now I can solve the equation for dh/dt (the rate of height over time, the velocity at which height is increasing)

So we get:

\frac{dh}{dt}= \frac{(dV/dt)(25)}{16 \pi h^{2}}

Now we can substitute the provided values into our equation. So we get:

\frac{dh}{dt}= \frac{(8m^{3}/s)(25)}{16 \pi (4m)^{2}}

so:

\frac{dh}{dt}=0.25m/s

The mixture you separated was a mixture of iron filings, sand, and salt. Based on your understanding of matter, is this mixture
V125BC [204]

Answer: Heterogeneous mixture - the parts are not uniformly mixed.

A mixture contains components having distinct chemical properties. There are two types of mixtures: homogeneous and heterogeneous. In a homogeneous mixture there is uniform distribution of components. we cannot distinguish one portion of the mixture from another. for example salt mixed in water. In heterogeneous mixture, the components are not uniformly mixed. hence, we are able to distinguish different parts of a mixture, like the mixture of iron, sand and salt given in this question.

If the volume on your TV is low, turning the volume up one click of the remote control will make the TV seem louder than if the
marusya05 [52]

From what we know, we can confirm that this ratio (turning up the volume by one click relative to the TV's overall volume) can be quantified as the Weber fraction.

<h3>What is the Weber fraction?</h3>

This fraction describes the ratio needed for change to a stimulus in which the change is just barely noticeable. This question is a prime example in that it seeks to find out just how low of a difference is needed in TV volume in order for the difference to be noticeable.

Therefore, we can confirm that this ratio (turning up the volume by one click relative to the TV's overall volume) can be quantified as the Weber fraction.

what do you mean by momentum? avehicle is runing with a velocity of 5m/s. it the momentum of the vehicle is 5000kg m/s. what is
Fantom [35]
Momentum is simply a quantity that measures the impact of a moving body over something is due to the mass it posseses or the velocity with which it is moving. Mathematically,ut is the product of mass and velocity of a body. It is represented by capital p...(P) P=mv Solution to the problem: we know P=mv For mass,eliminate m from the equation, m=P/v Put values, m=5000/5=1000kg
