It can either indicate how "tall" something is, or how "high up" it is. For example one could say "That is a tall building", or "That airplane is high up in the sky". These can both be referred to as the height of the object, as in "The height of the building is 50 m" or "The height of the airplane is 10,000 m". When used to describe how high something like an airplane or mountain peak is from sea level, height is more often called altitude. Height is measured along the vertical (y) axis between a specified point and another point. In mathematicsFor more details on this topic, see Height (mathematics).Dimensional models assert height as the third dimension, more accurately referred to as depth, the other two being length and width, which form a two-dimensional plane of reference. In this model, the dimension of height is measured along a line traveling from the point in question and intersecting the plane of reference at a 90 degree angle. From Wikipedia under the

Gravel is being dumped from a conveyor belt at a rate of 30 ft3/min, and its coarseness is such that it forms a pile in the shape of a cone whose base diameter and height are always equal. How fast is the height of the pile increasing when the pile is 14 ft high? Give your answer correct to three decimal places. Asked by kydd - Mon Mar 24 15:19:15 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. The volume of a cone is (1/3) * pi * radius^2 * height. Since the base diameter and height are always equal , the volume of such a cone would be (1/3) * pi * height^2 * height / 4 = (1/12) * pi * height^3 The rate at which the volume is increasing would be dV/dt , which is (1/12) * pi * 3 * height^2 * dh/dt. Since this is equal to 30 ft^3/min. , we get : (1/4) * pi * 14 * 14 * dh/dt = 30 which gives : dh/dt = 30 * 4 /( pi * 14 * 14 ) = 0.195 ft./min. Answered by NARAYAN RAO - Mon Mar 24 15:30:02 2008 What is the height of an electron on a table with only gravity acting on it? Q. Give the electron mass = m, and the table is impenetrable to the electron. With quantum physics the electron has to float just above the surface. By floating I mean the vertical position of the electron is spread out over a distance above the table. I'm sure you need to use Heisenberg's uncertainty principle to find the average height of the electron. Probably be easier to have it in terms of m, g and other main constants. Do not worry about the specifications of the table. It is simply a place for the electron to exist on as a surface. It's a special table that is flat and only holds the electron above it as it is impenetrable. As gravity is the only force acting on the electron it has an uncertainty of its position in the vertical… [cont.] Asked by Russel Teek - Fri Apr 13 02:31:53 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Russell, I retell your problem this way: let the electron in question be in an atom just on the surface of the table; thus its position is uncertain in bounds of this atom only! what have to do Heisenberg, Diraque, Schroedinger etc with their quantum effects, if the table height h is much-much larger than dimension of any atom? thus do it in terms of m, g, h, and don t doubt!

Q. Would you rather have a really good looking guy who was average height (5-8 to 5-11) or an average looking guy who was tall (6+)? What about a really good looking short guy ( 5 3 to 5 6) or an average looking tall guy? Obviousaly the really good looking tall guy wins out every time but how important is it. Only physical looks too, assume the personality is the same. Asked by Brett R - Sun Feb 8 16:43:56 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A.
