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

Five race cars speed toward the finish line at the Jasper County Speedway. The table lists each car’s speed in meters/second. If

nekit [7.7K]

We have: v = d/t
From the expression, we conclude speed is indirectly proportional to speed.
So, the car which will take longer time must have the smallest speed. Among all the options Car C has the smallest speed. So, it would be your answer.

In short, Your Answer would be Option C) Car C will take longer time than any other.

Hope this helps!

What is the critical angle of light traveling from benzene (n=1.501) into air?

Taya2010 [7]

The critical angle formula should be: sin^-1(1/n)

where "n" is 1.501 into the air

<span>The critical angle of light travelling from benzene, happens because the larger angles of incidence from the inside of the benzene has experienced the total internal reflection. </span>

g a small smetal sphere, carrying a net charge is held stationarry. what is the speed are 0.4 m apart

weeeeeb [17]

Complete Question

A small metal sphere, carrying a net charge q1=−2μC, is held in a stationary position by insulating supports. A second small metal sphere, with a net charge of q2= -8μC and mass 1.50g, is projected toward q1. When the two spheres are 0.80m apart, q2 is moving toward q1 with speed 20ms−1. Assume that the two spheres can be treated as point charges. You can ignore the force of gravity.The speed of q2 when the spheres are 0.400m apart is.

Answer:

The value $v_2 = 4 \sqrt{10} \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The charge on the first sphere is $q_1 = 2\mu C = 2*10^{-6} \ C$

The charge on the second sphere is $q_2 = 8 \mu C = 8*10^{-6} \ C$

The mass of the second charge is $m = 1.50 \ g = 1.50 *10^{-3} \ kg$

The distance apart is $d = 0.4 \ m$

The speed of the second sphere is $v_1 = 20 \ ms^{-1}$

Generally the total energy possessed by when $q_2$ and $q_1$ are separated by $0.8 \ m$ is mathematically represented

$Q = KE + U$

Here KE is the kinetic energy which is mathematically represented as

$KE = \frac{1 }{2} m (v_1)^2$

substituting value

$KE = \frac{1 }{2} * ( 1.50 *10^{-3}) (20 )^2$

$KE = 0.3 \ J$

And U is the potential energy which is mathematically represented as

$U = \frac{k * q_1 * q_2 }{d }$

substituting values

$U = \frac{9*10^9 * 2*10^{-6} * 8*10^{-6} }{0.8 }$

$U = 0.18 \ J$

So

$Q = 0.3 + 0.18$

$Q = 0.48 \ J$

Generally the total energy possessed by when $q_2$ and $q_1$ are separated by $0.4 \ m$ is mathematically represented

$Q_f = KE_f + U_f$

Here $KE_f$ is the kinetic energy which is mathematically represented as

$KE_f = \frac{1 }{2} m (v_2^2$

substituting value

$KE_f = \frac{1 }{2} * ( 1.50 *10^{-3}) (v_2 )^2$

$KE_f = 7.50 *10^{ -4} (v_2 )^2$

And $U_f$ is the potential energy which is mathematically represented as

$U_f = \frac{k * q_1 * q_2 }{d }$

substituting values

$U_f = \frac{9*10^9 * 2*10^{-6} * 8*10^{-6} }{0.4 }$

$U_f = 0.36 \ J$

From the law of energy conservation

$Q = Q_f$

So

$0.48 = 0.36 +(7.50 *10^{-4} v_2^2)$

$v_2 = 4 \sqrt{10} \ m/s$
