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

Un cuerpo se mueve con MRU a una rapidez de 12 m/s y recorre 240 m; luego, disminuye su ra¬pidez uniformemente a razón de 2 m/s2
Annette [7]

Answer:

29 seconds

Explanation:

First we have a constant speed of 12 m/s and the distance of 240 m, so to find the time we can use the formula:

distance = speed * time

240 = 12 * time1

time1 = 20 seconds

Then, the speed decreases at 2 m/s2 until it reaches 2 m/s. So to find this time, we use this formula:

Final speed = inicial speed + acceleration * time

2 = 12 - 2 * time2

2*time2 = 10

time2 = 5 seconds.

Then, the speed increases from 2 m/s to 22 m/s with an acceleration of 5 m/s2, so we have:

Final speed = inicial speed + acceleration * time

22 = 2 + 5 * time3

5*time3= 20

time3 = 4 seconds

The total time is:

Total time = time1 + time2 + time3 = 20 + 5 + 4 = 29 seconds

Answer:

<em>The first choice (32m/s) is the closest to the answer</em>

Explanation:

The magnitude of a vector is the distance between the initial and the end point of the vector.

Being Vx and Vy the horizontal and vertical components of the vector V respectively, the magnitude of V is calculated as:

\mid \vec{V} \mid =\sqrt{V_x^2+V_y^2}

The components of the velocity of the physics student's projectile launcher are Vx=28 m/s and Vy=15 m/s.

Calculate the magnitude of the velocity:

\mid \vec{V} \mid =\sqrt{28^2+15^2}

\mid \vec{V} \mid =\sqrt{784+225}

\mid \vec{V} \mid =\sqrt{1009}

\mid \vec{V} \mid =31.8 \ m/s

The first choice (32m/s) is the closest to the answer
