THE GREEN HOSE:
Define the (x,y) coordinate at a height of 4 feet up from the ground to match where Majra is holding the green hose.
This means that the equation for the green hose is of the form
y = a(x - h)² + 4 (1)
Because water from the green hose lands on the ground 10 feet from where Majra is standing, therefore
y(10) = -4 (2)
Because the curve passes through (0,0), therefore
ah² + 4 = 0
ah² = - 4 (3)
To satisfy (2), obtain
a(10 - h)² + 4 = -4
a(10 - h)² = - 8 (4)
Divide (3) by (4).
h²/(10-h)² = 1/2
2h² = (10 - h)² = 100 - 20h + h²
h² + 20h - 100 = 0
Solve with the quadratic formula.
x = 0.5[-20 +/- √(8400)] = 4.142, - 24.142
Reject the negative solution.
The vertex is at (4.142, 4).
From (3), obtain
a = -4/4.142² = -0.2332
The equation for the green hose is
y = 0.2332(x - 4.142)² + 4
THE RED HOSE
The red hose has a vertex at (3,7), according to the equation y = -(x-3)² + 7.
A graph of y(x) for both hoses is shown in the attached figure.
Answers:
a. The red hose will throw the water higher.
b. The equation for the green hose is
y = -0.2332(x - 4.124)² + 4,
with the origin at a height of 4 feet above ground level.
c. The domain for the green hose that makes sense is 0 ≤ x ≤ 10 feet.
The corresponding range is -4 ≤ y ≤ 4 feet.

The minimum power is 490 W
Explanation:
The work that needs to be done by the robot in order to climb the shelves is equal to the gain in gravitational potential energy of the robot + object, therefore:
where
m = 15 kg + 5 kg = 20 kg is the total mass of the system
is the acceleration of gravity
is the change in height
Substituting,
Now we can calcualte the power (wattage) that the robot must have, using the equation
where
W = 3,920 J is the work done
t = 8 s is the time interval
Substituting,

Answer:
Right Hand Rule
Explanation:
When a charged particle travels in a magnetic field, it experiences a force whose magnitude is given by:
where
q is the charge of the particle
v is the velocity
B is the magnetic field strength
is the angle between the directions of v and B
The direction of the force can be determined by using the Right Hand Rule, as follows:
- index finger: this should be put in the direction of the velocity
- middle finger: this should be put in the direction of the magnetic field
- thumb: this will give the direction of the force -> however, for a negative charge (as the electron) the direction must be reversed, so it will be opposite.
