Answer:

Rectangular path

Solution:

As per the question:

Length, a = 4 km

Height, h = 2 km

In order to minimize the cost let us denote the side of the square bottom be 'a'

Thus the area of the bottom of the square, A = a^{2}

Let the height of the bin be 'h'

Therefore the total area, A_{t} = 4ah

The cost is:

C = 2sh

Volume of the box, V = a^{2}h = 4^{2}\times 2 = 128            (1)

Total cost, C_{t} = 2a^{2} + 2ah            (2)

From eqn (1):

h = \frac{128}{a^{2}}

Using the above value in eqn (1):

C(a) = 2a^{2} + 2a\frac{128}{a^{2}} = 2a^{2} + \frac{256}{a}

C(a) = 2a^{2} + \frac{256}{a}

Differentiating the above eqn w.r.t 'a':

C'(a) = 4a - \frac{256}{a^{2}} = \frac{4a^{3} - 256}{a^{2}}

For the required solution equating the above eqn to zero:

\frac{4a^{3} - 256}{a^{2}} = 0

\frac{4a^{3} - 256}{a^{2}} = 0

a = 4

Also

h = \frac{128}{4^{2}} = 8

The path in order to minimize the cost must be a rectangle.

kenny6666 [7]

Explanation:

the missing figure in the Question has been put in the attachment.

Then from the figure we can observe that

the center of the sphere is positive, therefore, negative charge will be  induced at A.

As B is grounded there will not be any charge on B

Hence the answer is A is negative and B is charge less.

A solid cylinder of uniform density of 0.85 g/cm3 floats in a glass of water tinted light blue by food coloring.

Each side has to have at least 44 horses

F61160 N. This is further explained below.

<h3>What is the force?</h3>

Generally, We are only interested in the component that operates horizontally since the vertical components all cancel each other out. The pressure difference works on the hemisphere to generate a normal force all over the surface, but we are only concerned with that force's horizontal component. This may be determined by supposing the hemispheres to be two flat circular plates of the same radius as the hemispheres that have been forced together.

Therefore, force is equal to pressure multiplied by area, which is

F= (970 -15 )( * (0.45 m)2)

F=60754 N for each side.

Therefore, each side has to have at least 44 horses

44* 1390 = 61160 N

Two objects with the same mass move with the same speed but in opposite directions. Compare their kinetic energies.
ddd [48]

Answer:

A.  Kinetic energies are equal.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the bodies will be equal since the mass and speed are the same.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body.

Mathematically;

           K.E  = \frac{1}{2} m v²

m is the mass

v is the speed

 The kinetic energy is a scalar quantity with no regard for direction.

10. Hamilton How long does it take Lewis travelling at 156 m.p.h to cover 16 miles?
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer: Hello!

Lewis is travelling at 165 mph, which means miles per hour, this says that he does 165 miles in one hour.

We want to know how much time takes to cover 16 miles.

this can be calculated as the quotient of the distance and the velocity; this is:

t = \frac{16 mi}{165 mi/h} = 0.096 h

if we want to write this in minutes, then:

we know that one hour has 60 minutes, then 0.096 hours has:

0.096h*60mins/1h = 5.8 minutes.

then Lewis needs 5.8 minutes in order to cover 16 miles if his speed is 156 miles per hour.
