Answer:

4050 gallons

Explanation:

In first half and hour both pumps are working property . There for it give, 45

gallons per minute . Half and hour is equal to 30 minutes.After one pump was broken only one pump is working 30 minutes .

For 1st 30 minutes ,( 2 pumps are working )

Gallons = 45 * 30 *2 = 2700 gallons

2nd 30 minutes ( 1 pump is working )

Gallons = 45*30*1 = 1350 gallons

Total gallons = 2700+1350

= 4050 gallons

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Velocity

Explanation:

We finds that the winds are coming from the west at 15 miles per hour. This information shows the velocity of the wind. Since, velocity is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude and direction. 15 miles per hour shows the speed of wind and west shows the direction of wind motion.

Hence, the given information describes wind velocity.

A 3.5-kg object placed on an inclined plane (angle 30? above the horizontal) is connected by a string going over a pulley to a 1
Blababa [14]

Answer:

a= 0.22 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that

M = 3.5 kg

θ = 30°

m = 1 kg

μ= 0.3

The force due to gravity

F₁= M g sinθ

F₁=3.5 x 10 x sin 30

F₁= 17.5 N

F₂ = m g

F₂ = 1 x 10 = 10 N

The maximum value of the friction force on the incline plane

Fr = μ M g cosθ

Fr = 0.3 x 2.5 x 10 cos30°

Fr= 6.49 N

Lets take acceleration of the system is a  m/s²

F₁ - F₂  - Fr =  (M+m) a

17.5 - 10 - 6.49 = (3.5+1)a

a= 0.22 m/s²
