Answer:

OPTIMISATION

Explanation:

Optimisation is a mathematical theory for developing strategies that maximize gains and minimize losses while adhering to a given set of rules and constraints.

The theory has a target function to be maximised or minimised, dependent on its explanatory variable(s), with respect to which the function has to be maximised or minimised. It also has constraints which might be binding factors to maximisation / minimisation.

Eg : Revenue optimising output is found by maximising profit function with respect to constraint function in forms of cost etc.

A cubical shell with edges of length a is positioned so that two adjacent sides of one face are coincident with the +x and +y ax
Bingel [31]

Answer:

Q = ba⁴ * ε₀

Explanation:

From Gauss's Law, we know that

flux Φ = Q / ε₀

where ε₀ = 8.85e-12 C²/N·m²

and also,

Φ = EAcosθ

The field is directed along the x-axis, so that all of the flux passes through the side of the cube at x = a. This means that θ = 0º, and thus

Φ = EAcos0

Φ = EA

E = bx² meanwhile, we are interested in the point where x = a, so we substitute and then

E = ba²

Since A = a² for the cube face, we have

Q / ε₀ = E * A

Q / ε₀ = ba² * a²

so that

Q = ba⁴ * ε₀

Lincoln weighs 400 newtons. What’s his mass rounded to the nearest kilogram? Assume that acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 N/kg
Yanka [14]
Weight equals mass times gravitational acceleration=400N, so mass=400/9.8=41kg approx.

While looking at bromine (Br) on the periodic table, a student needs to find another element with very similar chemical properti
Ede4ka [16]

Answer: There are many possible elements, and they are all in the same vertical column as bromine.

Explanation:

In a periodic table, the elements are arranged according to the atomic number. The elements arranged in the same vertical column (known as groups) have same valence configuration and therefore have same chemical properties. Hence, there would be more possible elements having same chemical properties in the same vertical column (group) as Bromine.

The force sensor measures the force on the sensor due to the bumper, but the cart's momentum change arises from the force on the
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

1 and 3 are necessary

Every bit of force applied to the bumper will be transmitted to the cart EXCEPT for the force needed to accelerate the bumper. This is the net force on the bumper.

If the bumper was heavy then a significant amount of force might be needed to accelerate the bumper so the amount transmitted to the cart would be substantially reduced.

If the net force on the bumper is small then the amount transmitted to the cart is almost the entire force applied.
