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.

My teacher didnt explain this well and im lost
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Explanation:

(a) The given figure is a convex lens.

(b) In this figure, the object is placed between F and optical center of a lens. Convex lens is a converging lens. It converges the beam of light falling on it after reflection. The image is formed on the same side of the lens as the object.

The formed image is enlarged and it is virtual and erect.

(i) Type : virtual

(ii) Orientation : upright

(iii) Size : Enlarged

How does a generator work?
insens350 [35]

An electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy obtained from an external source into electrical energy as the output.

It is important to understand that a generator does not actually ‘create’ electrical energy. Instead, it uses the mechanical energy supplied to it to force the movement of electric charges present in the wire of its windings through an external electric circuit. This flow of electric charges constitutes the output electric current supplied by the generator. This mechanism can be understood by considering the generator to be analogous to a water pump, which causes the flow of water but does not actually ‘create’ the water flowing through it.

The modern-day generator works on the principle of electromagnetic induction discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831-32. Faraday discovered that the above flow of electric charges could be induced by moving an electrical conductor, such as a wire that contains electric charges, in a magnetic field. This movement creates a voltage difference between the two ends of the wire or electrical conductor, which in turn causes the electric charges to flow, thus generating electric current.

A 71 kW radio station broadcasts its signal uniformly in all directions. - What is the average intensity of its signal at a dist
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Explanation:

Energy of signal being radiated per second on all sides = 71 x 10³ J .

At a distance of 220 m it is spread over an area of 4 π x (220)² because it is spreading uniformly on all sides.

So energy crossing per unit area

= \frac{71\times10^3}{4 \times \pi\times(220)^2}

= 11.67 x 10⁻² Wm⁻²s⁻¹.

This is the intensity of the signal.

At 2200 m this intensity will further reduce by 100 times

So there it becomes equal to

11.67 x 10⁻⁴ Wm⁻² s⁻¹.
