You are planning to make an open rectangular box from an 8-inch by 15-inch piece of cardboard by cutting congruent squares from

the corners and folding up the sides. what is the largest volume you can make from a box this way in cubic inches?

Let us say that x is the cut that we will make on the sides to make a box, therefore the new dimensions are:

l = 15 – 2x

w = 8 – 2x

It is 2x since we cut on two sides.

 

We know that volume is:

V = l w x

V = (15 – 2x) (8 – 2x) x

V = 120x – 30x^2 – 16x^2 + 4x^3

V = 120x – 46x^2 + 4x^3

 

Taking the 1st derivative:

dV/dx = 120 – 92x + 12x^2

 

Set dV/dx = 0 to get maxima:

120 – 92x + 12x^2 = 0

 

Divide by 12:

x^2 – (92/12)x + 10 = 0

(x – (92/24))^2 = -10 + (92/24)^2

x - 92/24 = ±2.17

x = 1.66, 6

We cannot have x = 6 because that will make our w negative, so:

x = 1.66 inches

 

So the largest volume is:

V = 120x – 46x^2 + 4x^3

V = 120(1.66) – 46(1.66)^2 + 4(1.66)^3

V = 90.74 cubic inches

How does the entropy of steam compare to the entropy of ice?
Dmitriy789 [7]

The answer is; The entropy of steam is larger than because it is more disordered than ice

Entropy is synonymous to the degree of disorder or randomness of molecules in a system. The molecules of steam are far apart from each other and move randomly in the system colliding with each other. Those of ice has less kinetic energy, vibrate more or less in a fixed position in the structiure, and are arranged in a orderd fashion

It is known that birds can detect the earth's magnetic field, but the mechanism of how they do this is not known. It has been su
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

A) 0.50 mV

Explanation:

In this problem, we can think the wings of the bird as a metal rod moving across a magnetic field. So, and emf will be induced into the wings of the bird, according to the formula:

\epsilon = BvL sin \theta

where

B=5\cdot 10^{-5} T is the strength of the magnetic field

v = 13 m/s is the speed of the bird

L = 1.2 m is the wingspan of the bird

\theta=40^{\circ} is the angle between the direction of motion and the direction of the magnetic field

Substituting numbers into the formula, we find

\epsilon = (5.0\cdot 10^{-5} T)(13 m/s)(1.2 m) sin 40^{\circ}=0.00050 V = 0.50 mV

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

One year

Explanation:

In Florida, once you have had your learner's license for 1 year without any traffic convictions, you will receive an intermediate license.

The rule for Florida is that if a driver drives safely without any conviction during that year of his trial, he will receive an intermediate license. This means that he is now completely eligible and safe to drive around Florida's roads.

I hope the answer is helpful.

Thanks for asking.

Which statement correctly defines power?
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Power=V\, I which corresponds to the second option shown: "voltage times amperage"

Explanation:

The electric power is the work done to move a charge Q across a given difference of potential V per unit of time.

Since such electrical work is the product of the potential difference V times the charge that moves through that potential, and this work is to be calculated by the unit of time, we need to divide the product by time (t) which leads to the following final simple equation:

Power=\frac{V\,Q}{t} =V\,\frac{Q}{t} = V\, I

Notice that we replaced the quotient representing charge per unit of time (Q/t) by the actual current running through the circuit.

This corresponds to the second option shown in the question: "Voltage times amperage".

What is the rising of rock layers called
Alex777 [14]

The answer of this question is called uplift i.e the rising of rock layers in geology is called uplift.

Uplift is the process in which there will be vertical elevation of earth surface due to various natural processes occurring inside the surface of earth like earth quakes. Sometimes uplift is also caused by the mountain building which hampers the balance of a particular region.

In the process of uplift,the rocks normally metamorphic rocks present underground will be brought up to the earth surface.The enhanced elevation will cause erosion of lot of materials on the surface of earth.
