Answer:

h = 4 in

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

volume of tin= 16 \pi

we know that

volume of cylinder is v = \pi r^2  h

so,

16 \pi = \pi r^2 h

16 = r^2 h

r = \sqrt{\frac{16}{h}}

construct formula for surface area

S = 2\pi r^2 +  2\pi rh

S = \frac{2v}{h} + 2 \sqrt{v \pi h}

minimize the function wrt  h

S' = \frac{2v}{h^2} + \sqrt{\frac{v \pi}{h} =  0

solving for h we have

h = [\frac{4 v}{\pi}]^{1/3}

we kow v = 16 \pi   so

h = 4 in

At baseball practice, Mason and Alfredo both picked up the same bat and neither would let go until one of them had it for himsel
Illusion [34]

Answer:

Option B. O because the net force was 5 N in Alfredo's direction

Explanation:

To know the the correct answer to the question given above, we shall determine the net force acting on the bat. This can be obtained as follow:

Force of pull by Mason (Fₘ) = 15 N

Force of pull by Alfredo (Fₐ) = 20 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = 20 – 15

Fₙ = 5 N in Alfredo's direction

From the calculation made above, we can see that the net force is 5N in Alfredo's direction. This is the reason why Alfredo end up having the bat.

If a 1-megaton nuclear weapon is exploded
Elenna [48]

Answer:

1,780,000 N

Explanation:

0.2 atm × (1.013×10⁵ Pa/atm) = 20,260 Pa

Force = pressure × area

F = 20,260 Pa × (3.89 m × 22.6 m)

F = 1,780,000 N

A person holding a lunch bag is moving upward in a hot air balloon at a constant speed of 7.3 m/s . When the balloon is 24 m abo
Kitty [74]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the bag, u = 7.3 m/s

Height above ground, s = 24 m

We need to find the speed of the bag just before it reaches the ground. It can be calculated using third equation of motion as :

v^2=u^2+2as

v^2=(7.3)^2+2\times 9.8\times 24  

v=\sqrt{523.69}

v = 22.88 m/s

So, the speed of the bag just before it reaches the ground is 22.38 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A person swims to the other end of a 20m long pool and back. What is their displacement?
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

It is given that,

A person swims to the other end of a 20m long pool and back.

We need to find his displacement.

Displacement = shortest path covered

He reaches at the same position as from where he has started. It means the shortest path covered is equal to 0 i.e. his displacement is zero.
