Answer:

Since steel contains iron (a magnetic metal), the magnets will attract the steel cans since aluminum is not magnetic. This is used to separate the steel cans from the aluminum cans so they can be recycled separately.

A vertical cylindrical tank 10 ft in diameter, has an inflow line of 0.3 ft inside diameter and an outflow line of 0.4 ft inside

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

$\frac{dh}{dt} = 1.3 \times 10^{-3} \frac{ft}{s}$ , level is rising.

Explanation:

Since liquid water is a incompresible fluid, density can be eliminated of the equation of Mass Conservation, which is simplified as follows:

$\dot V_{in} - \dot V_{out} = \frac{dV_{tank}}{dt}$

$\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot D_{in}^2 \cdot v_{in}-\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot D_{out}^2 \cdot v_{out}= \frac{\pi}{4}\cdot D_{tank}^{2} \cdot \frac{dh}{dt} \\D_{in}^2 \cdot v_{in} - D_{out}^2 \cdot v_{out} = D_{tank}^{2} \cdot \frac{dh}{dt} \\\frac{dh}{dt} = \frac{D_{in}^2 \cdot v_{in} - D_{out}^2 \cdot v_{out}}{D_{tank}^{2}}$

By replacing all known variables:

$\frac{dh}{dt} = \frac{(0.3 ft)^{2}\cdot (5 \frac{ft}{s} ) - (0.4 ft)^{2} \cdot (2 \frac{ft}{s} )}{(10 ft)^{2}}\\\frac{dh}{dt} = 1.3 \times 10^{-3} \frac{ft}{s}$

The positive sign of the rate of change of the tank level indicates a rising behaviour.

$\Large {{ \sf {Question :}}}$

<h3>A boy who is riding his bicycle, moves with an initial velocity of 5 m/s. Ten second later, he is moving at 15 m/s. What is his acceleration?</h3>

$\Large {{ \sf {Given :}}}$

<h3>Initial Velocity (<em>u</em>) - 5 m/s</h3><h3>Final Velocity (<em>v</em>) - 15 m/s</h3><h3>Time (<em>t</em>) - 10 sec</h3>

$\Large {{ \sf {Formulae :}}}$

<h3>If the velocity of an object changes from an initial value <em>u </em>to the final value <em>v </em>in time <em>t,</em><em> </em>the acceleration <em>a</em> is, </h3><h3> $a \: = \frac{v - u}{t}$ </h3><h3> $\Large {{ \sf {Step-by-step explanation :}}}$ </h3>

$a \: = \frac{v - u}{t} \\ or \: \: a = \frac{(15 - 5)}{10} m \: s^{ - 2} \\ or \: \: a \: = \frac{10}{10}m \: s^{ - 2} \\ or \: \: a = 1m \: s^{ - 2}$
