Scientists in a test lab are testing the hardness of a surface before constructing a building. Calculations indicate that the en

tire structure would sink by a certain amount for every additional floor that is added. If the maximum permissible limit for depression of the structure is 20 centimeters, how many floors can be safely added to the building?

1st find the slope of the line:
(11-5)/(8.2-2.3) = 6/5.9 = 1.01

Find the equation of the line:

y - 5 = 1.01(x - 2.3)
y - 5 = 1.01x - 2.323
y = 1.01x + 2.667

Now set x to 20
y = 1.01(20) + 2.667
y = 20.2 + 2.667
y = 22.867 floors ~ 23 floors

enyata [817]

<u>Answer</u>

27.7


<u>Explanation</u>

The ball was hit at an angle of 30°, with the horizontal at a speed of 10 m/s. We have to find the horizontal component of speed.

cosx = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos 30 = adjacent / 10

adjacent = 10 cos30

             = 8.66 m/s        ⇒ This is the horizontal speed.

Now  find the horizontal distance.

Distance = speed × time

               = 8.66 × 3.2

                = 27.71

Answer to the nearest tenth = 27.7

Barker is unloading 20kg bottles of water from this delivery truck when one of the bottles tips over and slides down the truck r
Degger [83]
<span>The overall force that is acting on the bottle is gravity. With the incline being 30 degrees the full force of gravity isn't acting on the bottle becuase the ramp isn't allowing the bottle to go straight down. By taking the sin of 30 degrees you find the proportion of gravity that is acting on the bottle to be 4.9 meters per second and the bottle weights 20 kg so the force acting on the bottle is 98 Newtons.</span>

How much power does it take to lift a 24 kg gift box 6m above the floor in 4 s?
Mrac [35]

Answer:

<h2>5.6kW</h2>

Explanation:

Step one:

given

mass m= 24kg

distance moved= 6m

time taken= 4seconds

Step two:

Required

power

but work done is the force applied at a distance, and the power is the work done time the time taken

Work done= F*D

F=mg

W= mg*D

W=24*9.81*6

W=1412.6J

Power P= work * time

P=1412.6*4

p=5650.5W

P=5.6kW
