We are given the description of an enclosure that has fencing on 3 sides and can use 3,056 yards of fencing. We are to find the

dimensions that will maximize the area contained within the fence. A rectangle formed along a straight portion of a river. The rectangle is formed by the river (a long side), a long side of fence labeled y, and two short sides of fence labeled x. Let y represent the length of fence that is opposite the river and x represent the length of each length of fence perpendicular to the river. As there are 3,056 yards of fencing available, the sum of the lengths of the sides of the enclosure results in

Answer:

The sum of the lengths of the sides is 2292 yards and the sum of the lengths of the triangle is 3056 yards

Explanation:

Since y represents the length of fence that is opposite (parallel) to the river and x represent the length of fence perpendicular to the river.

Therefore since we can use 3,056 yards of fencing

Side perpendicular to the river = x and,

Side opposite to the river = y = 3056 - 2x

The area of the rectangle formed (A) = Perpendicular side × Parallel side

∴ A = x(3056 - 2x) = 3056x - 2x²

A = 3056x - 2x²

To maximize the area, A' (dA/dx) = 0

∴ A' = 3056 - 4x = 0

3056 - 4x = 0

4x = 3056

x = 764 yards

y =  3056 - 2x = 3056 - 2(764) = 1528 yards.

Side perpendicular to the river = 764 yards and,

Side opposite to the river = 1528 yards

The sum of the lengths of the sides = 764 + 1528 = 2292 yard and the sum of the lengths of the triangle = 764 + 764 + 1528 = 3056 yards

Any ss2 here (11th Grade)
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

<h2>a) 50°</h2><h2>b) 40°</h2>

Explanation:

Check the complete diagram n the attachment below

a) The angle of incidence on a plane surface is the angle between the incidence ray and the normal ray acting on a plane surface. The normal ray is the ray perpendicular to the surface while the incidence ray is the ray striking a plane surface.

According to the diagram, the angle of reflection r₂ on M₂ is 90°-g where g is the angle of glance.

Given angle of glance on M₂ to be 40°, r₂ = 90-40 = 50°

According the second law of reflection, the angle of incidence = angle of reflection, therefore i₂ = r₂ = 50° (on M₂)

Also ∠OO₂O₁ =  ∠OO₁O₂ = 40° (angle of glance on M₁){alternate angle}

The angle of incidence on M₁ = 90° - 40° = 50°

b) The angle of incidence to the surface of M₁(∠PO₁A)will be the angle of glance on M₁ which is equivalent to 40°

Points a and b lie in a region where the y-component of the electric field is Ey=α+β/y2. The constants in this expression have t
Drupady [299]

Answer:

V_{a} - V_{b} = 89.3

Explanation:

The electric potential is defined by

         V_{b} - V_{a} = - ∫ E .ds

In this case the electric field is in the direction and the points (ds) are also in the direction and therefore the angle is zero and the scalar product is reduced to the algebraic product.

         V_{b} - V_{a} = - ∫ E ds

We substitute

         V_{b} - V_{a} = - ∫ (α + β/ y²) dy

We integrate

          V_{b} - V_{a} = - α y + β / y

We evaluate between the lower limit A  2 cm = 0.02 m and the upper limit B 3 cm = 0.03 m

           V_{b} - V_{a} = - α (0.03 - 0.02) + β (1 / 0.03 - 1 / 0.02)

            V_{b} - V_{a} = - 600 0.01 + 5 (-16.67) = -6 - 83.33

            V_{b} - V_{a} = - 89.3 V

As they ask us the reverse case

             V_{b} - V_{a} = - V_{b} - V_{a}

             V_{a} - V_{b} = 89.3

How does the force of gravity affect the rate of acceleration?
Vesnalui [34]
Gravity lets all objects fall to the ground at the same speed, 9.8 m/s/s. If the force of gravity were stronger, such as 10 m/s/s, the rate of acceleration would be faster.
