The height of the tide measured at a seaside community varies according to the number of hours t after midnight. If the height h

, in feet, is currently given by the equation h=-1/2 t^2+6t-9, when will the tide first be at 6 ft?

Explanation:

Given that, the height of the tide measured at a seaside community varies according to the number of hours t after midnight. The height is given by the equation as :

h=-\dfrac{1}{2}t^2+6t-9

When the tide first be at 6 ft, put h = 6 ft in above equation as :

-\dfrac{1}{2}t^2+6t-9=6

-t^2+12t-18=0

On solving the above equation to find the value of t. It is equal to :

t = 3.551 seconds

or

t = 8.449 seconds

So, the tide of 6 ft is at  3.551 seconds and 8.449 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.

a block measures 3.5 cm long 2.8 cm wide and 1.6 cm deep. the density of the block 2.5 g/cm. calculate the volume of the block.
luda_lava [24]
Volume of a block can be found by: length × width × height. So:

3.5cm × 2.8cm × 1.6cm = 15.68cm^3

A tin can has a volume of 1100 cm³ and a mass of 80 g. Approximately how many grams of lead shot can it carry without sinking in
Kruka [31]

Answer:

1020g

Explanation:

Volume of can=1100cm^3=1100\times 10^{-6}m^3

1cm^3=10^{-6}m^3

Mass of can=80g=\frac{80}{1000}=0.08kg

1Kg=1000g

Density of lead=11.4g/cm^3=11.4\times 10^{3}=11400kg/m^3

By using 1g/cm^3=10^3kg/m^3

We have to find the mass of lead which shot can it carry without sinking in water.

Before sinking the can  and lead inside it they are floating in the water.

Buoyancy force =F_b=Weight of can+weight of lead

\rho_wV_cg=m_cg+m_lg

Where \rho_w=10^3kg/m^3=Density of water

m_c=Mass of can

m_l=Mass of lead

V_c=Volume of can

Substitute the values then we get

1000\times 1100\times 10^{-6}=0.08+m_l

1.1-0.08=m_l

m_l=1.02 kg=1.02\times 1000=1020g

1 kg=1000g

Hence, 1020 grams of lead shot can it carry without sinking water.
