A tank has the shape of an inverted circular cone with height 16m and base radius 3m. The tank is filled with water to a height

of 9m. Find the work required to empty the tank by pumping all of the water over the top of the tank. Use the fact that acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/sec2 and the density of water is 1000kg/m3. Round your answer to the nearest kilojoule.

Answer:

W=17085KJ

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height H=16m

Radius R=3

Height of water H_w=9m

Gravity g=9.8m/s

Density of water \rho=1000kg/m^3

Generally the equation for Volume of water is mathematically given by

 dv=\pi*r^2dy

 dv=\frac{\piR^2}{H^2}(H-y)^2dy

Where

   y is a random height taken to define dv

Generally the equation for Work done to pump water is mathematically given by

 dw=(pdv)g (H-y)

Substituting dv

 dw=(p(=\frac{\piR^2}{H^2}(H-y)^2dy))g (H-y)

 dw=\frac{\rho*g*R^2}{H^2}(H-y)^3dy

Therefore

 W=\int dw

 W=\int(\frac{\rho*g*R^2}{H^2}(H-y)^3)dy

 W=\rho*g*R^2}{H^2}\int((H-y)^3)dy)

 W=\frac{1000*9.8*3.142*3^2}{9^2}[((9-y)^3)}^9_0

 W=3420.84*0.25[2401-65536]

 W=17084965.5J

 W=17085KJ

What happens when a mechanical wave travels through a medium?
Blizzard [7]
A mechanical wave<span> is a </span>wave<span> that is an oscillation of </span>matter<span>, and therefore transfers energy through a </span>medium.[1]<span> While waves can move over long distances, the movement of the </span>medium of transmission<span>—the material—is limited. Therefore, oscillating material does not move far from its initial equilibrium position. Mechanical waves transport energy. This energy propagates in the same direction as the wave. Any kind of wave (mechanical or electromagnetic) has a certain energy. Mechanical waves can be produced only in media which possess elasticity and inertia.</span>

To determine the height of a tall building such as Sears Tower in Chicago, Illinois a ball was dropped from the top of the build
Darya [45]

Answer:

The height of Sears Tower is 1448.5 feet.

Explanation:

<h3>We apply the free fall formula to the ball: </h3><h3>y=v_{o} *t+\frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2}</h3><h3>y: The vertical distance the ball moves at time t  </h3><h3>v_{o}i: Initial speed </h3><h3>g=Gravity acceleration=9.8*(\frac{\frac{1ft}{0.305m} }{s^{2} } )</h3>

Known information

We know that the vertical distance (y) that the ball moves in 9,5s  is equal to height of Sears Tower (h).  

Too we know that the ball is released from rest, then,v_{0}=0

Height of Sears Tower calculation:

We replace  in the equation 1 the data following;

y=h

v_{o} =0

g=32,1\frac{ft}{s^{2} }

t= 9,5s

h=0*9.5+\frac{1}{2} *32.1*9.5^{2}

h=1448.5 ft

Answer: The height of Sears Tower is 1448.5 ft

A piece of warm concrete is placed in a cold-water tank, and energy flows between the concrete and the water. Which way does the
sammy [17]

Answer:

Heat flows from hot to cold objects. When a hot and a cold body are in thermal contact, they exchange heat energy until they reach thermal equilibrium, with the hot body cooling down and the cold body warming up. This is a natural phenomenon we experience all the time.

A spy in a speed boat is being chased down a river by government officials in a faster craft. Just as the officials’ boat pulls
babunello [35]

Answer:

They are 7.4m apart.

Explanation:

Here we have a parabolic motion problem. we need the time taken to land so:

Y=Yo+Vo*t+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2

considerating only the movement on Y axis:

0=4.6-(9.81)*t^2\\t=0.68s

Because we have a contant velocity motion on X axis:

xs=vs*t\\xs=17m/s*(0.68s)\\xs=11.6m

and

xg=vg*t\\xg=28m/s*(0.68s)\\xg=19m

the distance between them is given by:

d=|xg-xs|\\d=7.4m
