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

Complete each statement about the sign of the work done on a baseball. Carlton catches a baseball and his hand moves backward as
dezoksy [38]

Answer and Explanation:

  • The work done is negative as the force is applied in the forward direction and the displacement of the hand is in the backward direction.
  • The work done is positive as the work is done on the baseball by Carlton. Moreover, both the force applied and the displacement of Carlton are in a straight line in the forward direction.
  • The work done in this case is zero as Carlton rides with constant speed, the Kinetic energy too remains constant and hence net work done is zero.
  • The work done in this case is positive as the work is done on the baseball by Carlton and as the velocity changes its Kinetic energy also varies wit it.
  • Also  the force applied and the displacement of Carlton in this case are in the directed to the same path.
