For this case what you should know is that by definition the volume of the cone is given by:
V = ((pi) * (r ^ 2) * (h)) / (3)
Remembering that:
r = d / 2
Substituting the values:
V = ((pi) * ((d / 2) ^ 2) * (h)) / (3)
V = ((pi) * (((10) / 2) ^ 2) * (12)) / (3)
V = 314.16 ft ^ 3
Answer:
V = 314.16 ft ^ 3
The nearest option is:
300 cu. ft

6. Two observers, 7220 feet apart, observe a balloonist flying overhead between them. Their measures of the

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The ballonist is at a height of 3579.91 ft above the ground at 3:30pm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call:

h the height of the ballonist above the ground,

a the distance between the two observers,

$a_1$ the horizontal distance between the first observer and the ballonist

$a_2$ the horizontal distance between the second observer and the ballonist

$\alpha _1$ and $\alpha _2$ the angles of elevation meassured by each observer

S the area of the triangle formed with the observers and the ballonist

So, the area of a triangle is the length of its base times its height.

$S=a*h$ (equation 1)

but we can divide the triangle in two right triangles using the height line. So the total area will be equal to the addition of each individual area.

$S=S_1+S_2$ (equation 2)

$S_1=a_1*h$

But we can write $S_1$ in terms of $\alpha _1$ , like this:

$\tan(\alpha _1)=\frac{h}{a_1} \\a_1=\frac{h}{\tan(\alpha _1)} \\S_1=\frac{h^{2} }{\tan(\alpha _1)}$

And for $S_2$ will be the same:

$S_2=\frac{h^{2} }{\tan(\alpha _2)}$

Replacing in the equation 2:

$S=\frac{h^{2} }{\tan(\alpha _1)}+\frac{h^{2} }{\tan(\alpha _2)}\\S=h^{2}*(\frac{1 }{\tan(\alpha _1)}+\frac{1}{\tan(\alpha _2)})$

And replacing in the equation 1:

$h^{2}*(\frac{1 }{\tan(\alpha _1)}+\frac{1}{\tan(\alpha _2)})=a*h\\h=\frac{a}{(\frac{1 }{\tan(\alpha _1)}+\frac{1}{\tan(\alpha _2)})}$

So, we can replace all the known data in the last equation:

$h=\frac{a}{(\frac{1 }{\tan(\alpha _1)}+\frac{1}{\tan(\alpha _2)})}\\h=\frac{7220 ft}{(\frac{1 }{\tan(35.6)}+\frac{1}{\tan(58.2)})}\\h=3579,91 ft$

Then, the ballonist is at a height of 3579.91 ft above the ground at 3:30pm.

Two window washers start at the heights shown. (A: 21 ft high rising 8 in per second. The other is 50 feet high descending 11inc

babunello [35]

For this case, the first thing we are going to do is write the generic equation of motion for the vertical axis.

We have then:

$h = \frac {1} {2} gt ^ 2 + vo * t + h0$

Where,

<em>g: acceleration of gravity </em>
<em>vo: initial speed </em>
<em>h0: initial height </em>

For the first body:

$h1 = \frac {1} {2} gt ^ 2 + \frac {8} {12} * t + 21$

For the second body:

$h2 = \frac {1} {2} gt ^ 2 - \frac {11} {12} * t + 50$

By the time both bodies have the same height we have:

$h1 = h2\\$

$\frac {1} {2} gt ^ 2 + \frac {8} {12} * t + 21 = \frac {1} {2} gt ^ 2 - \frac {11} {12} * t + 50$

Rewriting we have:

$\frac {8} {12} * t + 21 = - \frac {11} {12} * t + 50$

$\frac {8} {12} * t + \frac {11} {12} * t = 50 - 21$

$\frac {19} {12} * t = 29$

Clearing time:

$t = 29 (\frac {12} {19})\\t = 18.31s$

Answer:

it takes 18.31s for the two window washers to reach the same height
