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

A spring is characterized by a spring constant of 60 N/m. How much potential energy does it store, when stretched by 1.0 cm?
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

3.0 x10^-3 J

Explanation:

The potential energy of a spring is given by PE = (0.5)k*x^2  

Where

K: Spring Constant = 60 N/m

x: displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position = 1cm = 0.01m

Then PE = 0.5(60)(.01)^2 = 0.003J = 3.0 x10^-3 J

mina [271]

Answer:

The slope of the graph is what you need. That tells you the speed not the velocity. In order to find the velocity you would also need to know the direction of the motion.
