A truck, initially at rest, rolls down a frictionless hill and attains a speed of 20 m/s at the bottom. To achieve a speed of 40

Crank

Answer:

To achieve the velocity of 40 m/sec height will become 4 times

Explanation:

We have given initially truck is at rest and attains a speed of 20 m/sec

Let the mass of the truck is m

At the top of the hill potential energy is mgh and kinetic energy is $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

So total energy at the top of the hill $=mgh+0=mgh$

At the bottom of the hill kinetic energy is equal to $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ and potential energy will be 0

So total energy at the bottom of the hill is equal to $0+\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Form energy conservation $mgh=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$ , for v = 20 m/sec

$20=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times h}$

Squaring both side

$19.6h=400$

h = 20.408 m

Now if velocity is 0 m/sec

$40=\sqrt{2gh}$

$19.6h=1600$

h = 81.63 m

So we can see that to achieve the velocity of 40 m/sec height will become 4 times

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:

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

a = 4

Also

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

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