Answer:

  0.98 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume the height of the volleyball is described by the equation for ballistic motion. We want to find the time it takes for the height to become zero.

__

<h3>motion equation</h3>

The general form of the equation of height for ballistic motion is ...

  h(t)=-16t^2+v_0t+h_0\qquad\text{$v_0$ and $h_0$ are the initial velocity and height}

The coefficient 16 in the equation is an approximation of 1/2g, where g is the acceleration due to gravity in ft/s². This means the units of time and distance are expected to be seconds and feet.

For the problem at hand, the initial velocity and height are 10.5 ft/s and 5 ft. Then the height equation is ...

  h(t) = -16t² +10.5t +5

__

<h3>reaction time</h3>

Marsha has until the ball hits the ground to react to the serve. To find out how long that is, we need to solve the height equation for t when h=0. This is most easily done using the quadratic formula with ...

  • a = -16
  • b = 10.5
  • c = 5

The solution is ...

  t=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}= \dfrac{-10.5\pm\sqrt{10.5^2-4(-16)(5)}}{2(-16)}\\\\=\dfrac{10.5\pm\sqrt{430.25}}{32}=\dfrac{21\pm\sqrt{1721}}{64}

The positive solution is ...

  t ≈ 0.976327 ≈ 0.98

Marsha has about 0.98 seconds to react before the volleyball hits the ground.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

After about 0.33 seconds, Marsha knows she doesn't need to react at all. The serve will not clear the net. Its maximum height is about 6' 8 5/8". A women's volleyball net is 7' 4 1/8" high. Jennifer's serve velocity must be at least 12.3 ft/s for the ball to go over the net. With that upward velocity, Marsha has about 1.06 seconds to react.

The ratio of the same side interior angles of two parallel lines is 33:3. Find the measures of all eight angles formed by the pa
zheka24 [161]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  all 4 acute angles: 15 degrees

  all 4 obtuse angles: 165 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of same-side interior angles between parallel lines is 180°. The smallest of them will be 3/(33+3) = 1/12 of 180°, or 15°. The largest will be 180° -15° = (33/3)(15°) = 165°. All remaining angles are congruent to one or the other of these.

  All four acute angles are 15°; all four obtuse angles are 165°.
