Answer:

Antarctic Circle

Explanation:

The Tropic of Cancer, which is also referred to as the Northern Tropic, is the most northerly circle of latitude on Earth at which the Sun can be directly overhead. This occurs on the June solstice, when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun to its maximum extent.

Tropic of Capricorn Is it Southern Hemisphere counterpart, marking the most southerly position at which the Sun can be directly overhead.

Where in our daily lives do we encounter "background" radiation

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Explanation:Naturally occurring radioactive materials are present in its crust, the floors and walls of our homes, schools, or offices and in the food we eat and drink. There are radioactive gases in the air we breathe. Our own bodies - muscles, bones, and tissue - contain naturally occurring radioactive elements.

A swimming pool has the shape of a right circular cylinder with radius 21 feet and height 10 feet. Suppose that the pool is full

AysviL [449]

Answer:

The water required to pump all the water to a platform 2 feet above the top of the pool is is 6061310.32 foot-pound.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius = 21 feet

Height = 10 feet

Weighing = 62.5 pounds/cubic

Work = 4329507.37572

Height = 2 feet

Let's look at a horizontal slice of water at a height of h from bottom of pool

We need to calculate the area of slice

Using formula of area

$A=\pi r^2$

Put the value into the formula

$A=\pi\times21^2$

$A=441\pi\ feet^2$

Thickness of slice $t=\Delta h\ ft$

The volume is,

$V=(441\pi\times\Delta h)\ ft^3$

We need to calculate the force

Using formula of force

$F=W\times V$

Where, W = water weight

V = volume

Put the value into the formula

$F=62.5\times(441\pi\times\Delta h)$

$F=27562.5\pi\times\Delta h\ lbs$

We need to calculate the work done

Using formula of work done

$W=F\times d$

Put the value into the formula

$W=27562.5\pi\times\Delta h\times(10-h)\ ft\ lbs$

We do this by integrating from h = 0 to h = 10

We need to find the total work,

Using formula of work done

$W=\int_{0}^{h}{W}$

Put the value into the formula

$W=\int_{0}^{10}{27562.5\pi\\times(10-h)}dh$

$W=27562.5\pi(10h-\dfrac{h^2}{2})_{0}^{10}$

$W=27562.5\pi(10\times10-\dfrac{100}{2}-0)$

$W=4329507.37572$

To pump 2 feet above platform, then each slice has to be lifted an extra 2 feet,

So, the total distance to lift slice is (12-h) instead of of 10-h

We need to calculate the water required to pump all the water to a platform 2 feet above the top of the pool

Using formula of work done

$W=\int_{0}^{h}{W}$

Put the value into the formula

$W=\int_{0}^{10}{27562.5\pi\\times(12-h)}dh$

$W=27562.5\pi(12h-\dfrac{h^2}{2})_{0}^{10}$

$W=27562.5\pi(12\times10-\dfrac{100}{2}-0)$

$W=1929375\pi$

$W=6061310.32\ foot- pound$

Hence, The water required to pump all the water to a platform 2 feet above the top of the pool is is 6061310.32 foot-pound.

If r1 < r2 < r3, and if these resistors are connected in series in a circuit, which one dissipates the most power

Vesnalui [34]

All three have the same current, so that is not a factor. Wattage (power) is E*I or i^2 R. The higher the resistance, the more power dissipated. The answer is R3 because it has the highest resistance.
R3 <<<< ===== answer.
