A suspension bridge has twin towers that are 1300 feet apart. Each tower extends 180 feet above the road surface. The cables are

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

$y = 17.04 ft$

Explanation:

Since the cable touches the road at the mid point of two towers

so here we have vertex at that mid point taken to be origin

now the maximum height on the either side is given as

$y = 180 ft$

horizontal distance of the tower from mid point is given as

$x = \frac{1300}{2} = 650 ft$

now from the equation of parabola we have

$y = k x^2$

$180 = k(650^2)$

$k = 4.26 \times 10^{-4}$

now we have

$y = (4.26 \times 10^{-4})x^2$

now we need to find the height at distance of 200 ft from center

so we have

$y = (4.26 \times 10^{-4})(200^2)$

$y = 17.04 ft$

How are volcanoes distributed

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Volcanic activity is widespread over the earth, but tends to be concentrated in specific locations. Volcanoes are most likely to occur along the margins of tectonic plates, especially in subduction zones where oceanic plates dive under continental plates. As the oceanic plate subducts beneath the surface, intense heat and pressure melts the rock. Molten rock material, magma, can then ooze its way toward the surface where it accumulates at the surface to create a volcano. Volcanic activity can be found along the Mid-ocean ridge system as well. Here, oceanic plates are diverging and magma spreads across the ocean floor, ultimately being exposed at the surface. Crustal spreading long the ridge is partly responsible for the volcanic activity of Iceland. It is also thought that a "hot spot" lies beneath the island that contributes to volcanism.

Cables and conductors installed on the side of a pole or building shall be protected up to ___feet above finished grade.

Allisa [31]

Answer:

10 feet.

Explanation:

Conductors are considered outside the building when they installed. The requirement of NEC is above 10 feet for the clearance after the final grade for service conductors and cables where they are connected with the building, above the sidewalks and the to other areas which are accessible to the pedestrians.

The temperature of a small metal cube is 75°c. A student places the cube into an insulated container of water at a temperature o

eduard

We can't tell without more information. We know it will be higher than 40 and lower than 75, but we don't know exactly where it will settle. In order to work that out, we would need to know the volumes of the water and the cube, and WHAT metal the cube is made of.
