<h3>Maximum height of the rocket</h3>

From the question, the height of the rocket above the ground in feet after t seconds is given by the function h(t) = -5t^2 + 20t -15

At maximum height, the velocity of the function is zero. Hence;

dh/dt - -5(2)t + 20
dh/dt = -10t + 20

Write the expression in vertex form as shown:

h(t) = -5t^2 + 20t -15

h(t) = -5(t^2 - 4t +3)

h(t) = -5(t^2 - 4t + 2^2 + 3 - 2^2)

h(t) = -5((t+2)^2 +5
h(t) = -5((t+2)^2 + 11

Hence the missing piece of the expression is 2

A cylindrial hole is cut through the cylinder below.

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

V=1884 Cubic mm

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the volume of the Sphere is given by the formula

$V= \pi r^2h$

Where r is the radius and h is the height of the cylinder

We are asked to determine the radius of the hollow cylinder , which will be the difference of the solid cylinder and the cylinder being carved out.

$V=V_1-V_2$

$V=\pi r_1^2 \times h-\pi r_2^2 \times h$

$V=\pi \times h \times (r_1^2-r_2^2)$

Where

$V_1$ is the the volume of solid cylinder with radius $r_1$ and height h

$V_2$ is the volume of the cylinder being carved out with radius $r_2$ and height h

where

$r_1 = 7$ mm ( Half of the bigger diameter )

$r_2 = 5$ mm ( Half of the inner diameter )

$h=25$ mm

Putting these values in the formula for V we get

$V=\pi \times 25\times (7^2-5^2)$

$V=3.14 \times 25 \times(49-25)$

$V=3.14 \times 25 \times 24$

$V= 1884$

andrezito [222]

Answer:

percentage of the total capacity is 75.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! To solve this problem we follow the following steps

1. draw the complete scheme of the problem (see attached image)

2. To solve this problem we must find the area of the circular sector using the following equation.(c in the second attached image)

$A=\frac{R^2}{2} (\alpha -sin\alpha )$

$\alpha =2arccos(\frac{d}{R})$

3. observing the attached images we replace the values in the equations and find the area of the circular sector, remember that you must transform the angle to radians

$\alpha =2arccos(\frac{5}{7})=88.83$

$A=\frac{R^2}{2} (\alpha -sin\alpha )\\A=\frac{7^2}{2} (88.83-sen88.83)*\frac{\pi rad}{180} =37.57ft^2$

4.we calculate the area of the total circle (At), then subtract the area of the circular sector (Ac) to find the area occupied by water (Aw)

$At=\frac{\pi }{4} (14ft)^2=153.93ft^2$

Aw=At-Ac=153.93-37.57=116.36ft^2

5.Finally, we calculate the percentage that represents the water in the tank by dividing the area of the water over the total area of the tank

$\frac{116.36}{153.93} *100=75.6$

percentage of the total capacity is 75.6%
