The volume of an object as a function of time calculated by V=At^3+B/t,where t is time measured in seconds and V is in cubic met

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

A = L^3 T^-3 , B = L^3 T

Explanation:

Given: volume ( V ) = At^3 + B/t ------ ( 1 )

dimension of volume = L^3

and the Dimension of time = T

back to equation ( 1 )

L^3 = A * T^3 ------- ( 2 )

also L^3 = B/T ------- ( 3 )

from equation ( 2 )

A = L^3 T^-3

from equation ( 3 )

B = L^3 T

<u>The dimensions of the constants A and B </u>

A = L^3 T^-3 , B = L^3 T

A man is using a fishing rod to catch fish in figure 1.

ryzh [129]

Answer:

Explanation:

Remark

In general, these 3rd class levers are very inefficient. Because the force distance is smaller than the load distance, you need to pull upward with more force that the weight of the load. So whatever the load is, the force is going to be much greater.

The distances are always measured to the pivot unless you are asked something specific otherwise.

Givens

F = ?

weight = 6N

Force Distance = F*d = 0.5 m

Weight Distance =W*d1 = 2 m

Formula

F*Fd = W*Wd

Solution

F*0.5 = 6 * 2 Divide by 0.5

F = 12/0.5

F = 24 N upwards

The Cartesian coordinate of a point in the xy plane are (x,y)=(-3.50,-2.50)m. Find the poler coordinate of this point

Masja [62]

Answer:

The polar coordinate of $P(x,y) = (-3.50\,m,-2.50\,m)$ is $P (r,\theta) = (4.301\,m, 215.538^{\circ})$ .

Explanation:

Given a point in rectangular form, that is $P(x,y) = (x,y)$ , its polar form is defined by:

$P(x,y) = (r,\theta)$ (1)

Where:

$r$ - Norm, measured in meters.

$\theta$ - Direction, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

The norm of the point is determined by Pythagorean Theorem:

$r = \sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}$ (2)

And direction is calculated by following trigonometric relation:

$\theta = \tan^{-1} \frac{y}{x}$ (3)

If we know that $x = -3.50\,m$ and $y = -2.50\,m$ , then the components of coordinates in polar form is:

$r = \sqrt{(-3.50\,m)^{2}+(-2.50\,m)^{2}}$

$r \approx 4.301\,m$

Since $x < 0\,m$ and $y < 0\,m$ , direction is located at 3rd Quadrant. Given that tangent function has a period of 180º, we find direction by using this formula:

$\theta = 180^{\circ}+\tan^{-1} \left(\frac{-2.50\,m}{-3.50\,m} \right)$

$\theta \approx 215.538^{\circ}$

The polar coordinate of $P(x,y) = (-3.50\,m,-2.50\,m)$ is $P (r,\theta) = (4.301\,m, 215.538^{\circ})$ .

Roger drives his car at a constant speed of 80 km/hr. How far can he travel in 2 hrs. and 30 minutes?

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

200 km/hr

Explanation:

Since he goes 80km per hour, multiply this by 2.5 or two and a half hours.

80 x 2.5 = 200 km/hr.

A 20~\mu F20 μF capacitor has previously charged up to contain a total charge of Q = 100~\mu CQ=100 μC on it. The capacitor is t

sertanlavr [38]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

C = $20 \times 10^{-6} F$

R = $100 \times 10^{3}$ ohm

$Q_{o} = 100 \times 10^{-6}$ C

Q = $13.5 \times 10^{-6} C$

Formula to calculate the time is as follows.

$Q_{t} = Q_{o} [e^{\frac{-t}{\tau}]$

$13.5 \times 10^{-6} = 100 \times 10^{-6} [e^{\frac{-t}{2}}]$

0.135 = $e^{\frac{-t}{2}}$

$e^{\frac{t}{2}} = \frac{1}{0.135}$

= 7.407

$\frac{t}{2} = ln (7.407)$

t = 4.00 s

Therefore, we can conclude that time after the resistor is connected will the capacitor is 4.0 sec.
