Assume that you have a rectangular tank with its top at ground level. The length and width of the top are 14 feet and 7 feet, re

spectively, and the bottom of the tank is 15 feet beneath ground level. How much work W does it take to empty the tank by pumping the liquid back to ground level once the tank is full?

To solve this problem we will use the work theorem, for which we have that the Force applied on the object multiplied by the distance traveled by it, is equivalent to the total work. From the measurements obtained we have that the width and the top are 14ft and 7ft respectively. In turn, the bottom of the tank is 15ft. Although the weight of the liquid is not given we will assume this value of 62 lb / ft ^ 3 (Whose variable will remain modifiable until the end of the equations subsequently presented to facilitate the change of this, in case be different). Now the general expression for the integral of work would be given as

W = \gamma A * \int_0^15 dy

Basically under this expression we are making it difficult for the weight of the liquid multiplied by the area (Top and widht) under the integral of the liquid path to be equivalent to the total work done, then replacing

W = (62)(14*7)\int^{15}_0 (15-y)dy

W = (14*7*62)\big [15y-\frac{y^2}{2}\big ]^{15}_0

W = (14*7*62)[15(15)-\frac{(15)^2}{2}]

W = 683550ft-lbs

Therefore the total work in the system is 683550ft-lbs

While accelerating at a constant rate from 12.0 m/s to 18.0 m/s, a car moves over a distance of 60.0 m. how much time does it ta
Yuri [45]

While accelerating at a constant rate from 12.0 m/s to 18.0 m/s, a car moves over a distance of 60.0 m. The time taken by the car will be 4 seconds. the correct answer is option(c).

When acceleration is constant, the rate of change in velocity is also constant. In the absence of any acceleration, velocity remains constant. When acceleration is positive, velocity becomes more significant.

Let a denote acceleration, u denote initial velocity, v denote final velocity, and t denote time.

The equation of motion is stated as,

v = u + at

v² = u² + 2as

A car travels across a distance of 60.0 m while accelerating constantly from 12.0 m/s to 18.0 m/s.

Then the time taken by the car will be,

u = 12 m/s

v = 18 m/s

s = 60 m

Put these in the equation v² = u² + 2as.

18² = 12² + 2 x a x 60

a = 1.5

Then the time will be

18 = 12 + 1.5t

1.5t = 6

t = 4 seconds

Hence, the time taken is 4 s.

The complete question is:

While accelerating at a constant rate from 12.0 m/s to 18.0 m/s, a car moves over a distance of 60.0 m. How much time does it take?

1.00 s

2.50 s

4.00 s

4.50 s

Two balls, each with a mass of 0.5 kg, collide on a pool table. Is the law of conservation of momentum satisfied in the collisio
Dmitriy789 [7]

During the collision between two balls on the pool table there is no external force along the line of collision between them

Since there is no external force on it so here we can say

F = 0 = \frac{\Delta P}{\Delta t}

here we have

\Delta P = 0

so we can say

P_i = P_f

since there is no external force so we can say during the collision the momentum of two balls will remain conserved

What is the acceleration for an object moving with constant speed? Explain your answer
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

What is the acceleration of an object moving at a constant speed?

The Meaning of Constant Acceleration

The data table above show an object changing its velocity by 10 m/s in each consecutive second. This is referred to as a constant acceleration since the velocity is changing by a constant amount each second.

The images output from your new color laser printer seem to be a little too blue. What can you do to fix this?
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The images output from your new color laser printer seem to be a little too blue. to fix this problem we need to calibrate the printer.

Explanation:

This can be done by opening the toolbox, clicking in the device setting folder their you get print quality page click on it. Under the print quality option click on the calibrate next to calibrate now. Then click OK unless when the 'your request has been sent to the device' appears on the screen. When the calibration ends again try printing. calibrating is useful for managing the proper alignment of the inkjet cartridge nozzle to the paper and each other, without proper calibration the print quality deteriorates.
