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.

PLEASE HELP WILL CROWNNNNNN!!!!!
Serga [27]

Answer:

12

7

2

- 3

- 8

Step-by-step explanation:

f ( - 2 )

= 2 - 5 ( - 2 )

= 2 - ( - 10 )

= 2 + 10

= 12

f ( - 1 )

= 2 - 5 ( - 1 )

= 2 - ( - 5 )

= 2 + 5

= 7

f ( 0 )

= 2 - 5 ( 0 )

= 2

f ( 1 )

= 2 - 5 ( 1 )

= 2 - 5

= - 5 + 2

= - 3

f ( 2 )

= 2 - 5 ( 2 )

= 2 - 10

= - 10 + 2

= - 8

Kind of confused on this question, please help
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

4th option

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = \frac{3}{5} x - 6 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = \frac{3}{5}

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{\frac{3}{5} } = - \frac{5}{3}

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = - \frac{5}{3} and (a, b ) = (- 2, 5 ) , then

y - 5 = - \frac{5}{3} (x - (- 2) ) , that is

y - 5 = - \frac{5}{3} (x + 2)
