Answer:

a) t = 3.6 s

b) d = 23 m

c) v = 13 m/s

Explanation:

Let t be the time the accelerating rider rides

the distance she travels is

d = ½3.6t²

the distance for the other cyclist is

d =3.5(t + 3)

½3.6t² = 3.5(t + 3)

1.8t² - 3.5t - 10.5 = 0

quadratic formula, positive answer

t = (3.5 + √(3.5² - 4(1.8)(-10.5))) / (2(1.8))

t = 3.575786...

d = ½(3.6)(3.575786²) = 23.015...

v = 3.6(3.575786) = 12.8728...

An offshore oil well is 2 kilometers off the coast. The refinery is 4 kilometers down the coast. Laying pipe in the ocean is twi
shusha [124]

Answer:

Rectangular path

Solution:

As per the question:

Length, a = 4 km

Height, h = 2 km

In order to minimize the cost let us denote the side of the square bottom be 'a'

Thus the area of the bottom of the square, A = a^{2}

Let the height of the bin be 'h'

Therefore the total area, A_{t} = 4ah

The cost is:

C = 2sh

Volume of the box, V = a^{2}h = 4^{2}\times 2 = 128            (1)

Total cost, C_{t} = 2a^{2} + 2ah            (2)

From eqn (1):

h = \frac{128}{a^{2}}

Using the above value in eqn (1):

C(a) = 2a^{2} + 2a\frac{128}{a^{2}} = 2a^{2} + \frac{256}{a}

C(a) = 2a^{2} + \frac{256}{a}

Differentiating the above eqn w.r.t 'a':

C'(a) = 4a - \frac{256}{a^{2}} = \frac{4a^{3} - 256}{a^{2}}

For the required solution equating the above eqn to zero:

\frac{4a^{3} - 256}{a^{2}} = 0

\frac{4a^{3} - 256}{a^{2}} = 0

a = 4

Also

h = \frac{128}{4^{2}} = 8

The path in order to minimize the cost must be a rectangle.

You are sitting on a merry-go-round at a distance of 2m from its center. It spins 15 times in 3 min. What distance do you move a
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

A) 12.57 m

B) 5 RPM

C) 3.142 m/s

Explanation:

A) Distance covered in 1 Revolution:

The formula that gives the relationship between the arc length or distance covered during circular motion to the angle subtended or the revolutions, is given as follows:

s = rθ

where,

s = distance covered = ?

r = radius of circle = 2 m

θ = Angle = 2π radians  (For 1 complete Revolution)

Therefore,

s = (2 m)(2π radians)

<u>s = 12.57 m</u>

B) Angular Speed:

The formula for angular speed is given as:

ω = θ/t

where,

ω = angular speed = ?

θ = angular distance covered = 15 revolutions

t = time taken = 3 min

Therefore,

ω = 15 rev/3 min

<u>ω = 5 RPM</u>

C) Linear Speed:

The formula that gives the the linear speed of an object moving in a circular path is given as:

v = rω

where,

v = linear speed = ?

r = radius = 2 m

ω = Angular Speed in rad/s = (15 rev/min)(2π rad/1 rev)(1 min/60 s) = 1.571 rad/s

Therefore,

v = (2 m)(1.571 rad/s)

<u>v = 3.142 m/s</u>

When turning a magnet very quickly would be BEST used to create A) radiation. B) light waves. C) an electric current. D) a conve
Gre4nikov [31]

the correct choice is

C) an electric current.

as a magnet is turned quickly relative to a coil, the magnetic flux linked with coil varies due to variation of angle of direction of magnetic field with normal to the plane of coil. the coil resist this change of magnetic flux in it by inducing emf in it so as to nullify the variation in magnetic flux. Due to this induced emf , electric current flows through the coil.
