Answer:

h = 120 ft;    w = 80 ft

A = 9600 ft^2

Explanation:

Let h and w be the dimensions of the playground. The area is given by:

A = h*w   (eq1)

The total amount of fence used is:

L = 2*h + 2*w + w    (eq2)    (an extra distance w beacuse of the division)

Solving for w:

w = L - 2/3*h = 480 - 2/3*h   (eq3)  Replacing this into the area eq:

A = h * (480 - 2/3*h) = 480*h - 2/3*h^2

We derive this and equal zero to find its maximum:

dA = 480 - 4/3*h = 0   Solving for h:

h = 120 ft.  Replacing this into eq3:

w = 80ft

Therefore the maximum area is:

A = 9600 ft^2

How are energy, force, and the motion of objects related?
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

When two objects interact, each one exerts a force on the other that can cause energy to be transferred to or from the object. For example, when energy is transferred to an Earth-object system as an object is raised, the gravitational field energy of the system increases. This energy is released as the object falls; the mechanism of this release is the gravitational force. Likewise, two magnetic and electrically charged objects interacting at a distance exert forces on each other that can transfer energy between the interacting objects.

Explanation:

Even when an object is sitting still, it has energy stored inside that can be turned into kinetic energy (motion). ... A force is a push or pull that causes an object to move, change direction, change speed, or stop. Without a force, an object that is moving will continue to move and an object at rest will remain at rest.

A piece of purple plastic is charged with 8.51 × 106 extra electrons compared to its neutral state. what is its net electric cha
VARVARA [1.3K]

Each electron provides a charge of -1.602 × 10^-19 coulombs.

If there are 8.51 × 10^-6 extra electrons:

1 electron ­____________ -1.602 × 10^-19 coulombs

8.51 × 10^6 electrons___x = -1.602 × 10^-19*8.51 × 10^6/1=-1.32× 10^-12 coulombs

So the extra electrons provide a charge of 1.32× 10^-12 coulombs.

So the net charge is -1.32× 10^-12 coulombs (there are more electrons besides those extra electrons, but there are also protons, so they don’t affect the net charge – the other electrons just compensate the charge of the protons).
