Answer:

The amount of workdone by in emptying the tank by pumping the water over the top edge is $\mathbf{ 1169.99 \pi \ ft-lbs}$

Explanation:

Given that the tank is 6 feet across the top and 5 feet high.

Using the similar triangles.

$\dfrac{3}{5} = \dfrac{r}{y}$

5r = 3y

$r = \dfrac{3}{5} y$

Thus; each disc is a circle with area

A = $\pi ( \frac{3}{5} y)^2$

The weight of each disc is ;

$m = \rho_{water}A$

= 62.4 × $\pi ( \frac{3}{5} y)^2$

= $\dfrac{561.6}{25} \pi y^2$

The distance pumped is 5-y

Thus; the workdone in pumping the tank by pumping the water over the top edge is :

$W = \dfrac{561.6 \pi}{25} \int\limits^5_0 {(5-y)} \, y^2dy$

$W = \dfrac{561.6 \pi}{25} \int\limits^5_0 {(5y^2-y^3)} dy$

$W = \dfrac{561.6 \pi}{25}[52.083]$

$\mathbf{W = 1169.99 \pi \ ft-lbs}$

The amount of workdone by in emptying the tank by pumping the water over the top edge is $\mathbf{ 1169.99 \pi \ ft-lbs}$

Let the resistance of an electrical component remain constant while the potential difference across the two ends of the componen

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

The current through it will also decrease to half of its former value because according to Ohm's law the current flowing through a resistor is directly proportional to the potential difference applied across its ends provided that the temperature and some other necessary conditions remain constant.

This is mathematically represented as follows;

$V=IR.........(1)$

The current is thus given as

$I=\frac{V}{R}..............(2)$

if R is constant and V is reduced to half, then we have the following;

$I=\frac{V/2}{R}$

Simplifying further we obtain

$I=\frac{V}{2R}...........(3)$

Equation (3) shows that the current I is also reduced to half.

A rocket is launched from a height of 3 m with an initial velocity of 15 m/s What is the maximum height of the rocket? When will

Fudgin [204]

If no extra acceleration is added to the rocket, then its velocity at time <em>t</em> is

<em>v</em> = 15 m/s - <em>g t</em>

where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity.

Also, recall that

<em>v</em>² - <em>u</em>² = 2 <em>a </em>∆<em>x</em>

where <em>u</em> is initial speed, <em>v</em> is final speed, <em>a</em> is acceleration, and ∆<em>x</em> is net displacement.

At the rocket's maximum height ∆<em>x</em>, the velocity is 0. So, the maximum height is

0² - (15 m/s)² = 2 (-<em>g</em>) ∆<em>x</em>

∆<em>x</em> = (15 m/s)² / (2 * (9.80 m/s²)) ≈ 11.48 m

But this assumes the rocket is launched from the ground. We're given that the rocket is launced from 3 m above the ground, so we need to add this to the height above. So the maximum height is closer to 14.48 m.

As mentioned before, this happens when vertical velocity is 0:

0 = 15 m/s - <em>g t</em>

<em>t</em> = (15 m/s) / (9.80 m/s²) ≈ 1.53 s

(1 point) A projectile is fired from ground level with an initial speed of 600 m/sec and an angle of elevation of 30 degrees. Us

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

(a) The range of the projectile is 31,813.18 m

(b) The maximum height of the projectile is 4,591.84 m

(c) The speed with which the projectile hits the ground is 670.82 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial speed of the projectile, u = 600 m/s

angle of projection, θ = 30⁰

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

(a) The range of the projectile in meters;

$R = \frac{u^2sin \ 2\theta}{g} \\\\R = \frac{600^2 sin(2\times 30^0)}{9.8} \\\\R = \frac{600^2 sin (60^0)}{9.8} \\\\R = 31,813.18 \ m$

(b) The maximum height of the projectile in meters;

$H = \frac{u^2 sin^2\theta}{2g} \\\\H = \frac{600^2 (sin \ 30)^2}{2\times 9.8} \\\\H = \frac{600^2 (0.5)^2}{19.6} \\\\H = 4,591.84 \ m$

(c) The speed with which the projectile hits the ground is;

$v^2 = u^2 + 2gh\\\\v^2 = 600^2 + (2 \times 9.8)(4,591.84)\\\\v^2 = 360,000 + 90,000.064\\\\v = \sqrt{450,000.064} \\\\v = 670.82 \ m/s$

A 23.3-kg mass is attached to one end of a horizontal spring, with the other end of the spring fixed to a wall. The mass is pull

sdas [7]

In spring mass system we know that angular frequency is given as

$\omega = 2\pi f$

f = 8.38 Hz

$\omega = 2\pi(8.38)$

$\omega = 52.65 rad/s$

now we know that speed of SHM at its extreme position is given by

$v = A\omega$

here we know that

A = 17.5 cm

$v = 0.175 (52.65)$

$v = 9.21 m/s$

so maximum speed is 9.21 m/s
