Answer:

Explanation:

Remark

At the time it takes to drop 20 m is the same time it takes to travel 60 m horizontally.

Givens

h = 20 m

hd = 60 m

g = 9.81

vi = 0

Formula

d = vi*t + 1/2 a * t^2                  We are solving for t

Solution

When the battery fails, the vertical initial velocity is 0. So we have to find the time it would take to drop 20 meters

d = 0*t + 1/2 * 9.81 a* t^2

20 = 4.91 * t^2                          Divide by 4.91

20/4.91 = 4.91 t^2 / 4.91    

4.073 = t^2                              Take the square root of both sides.

t = 2.02 seconds

Horizontal

d = 60 m

t = 2.02 seconds

v = ?

Note: there is no horizontal deceleration or acceleration

v = d/t

v = 60/2.02

Answer: v = 29.73 m/s

A stone dropped in a pond sends out a circular ripple whose radius increases at a constant rate of 4 ft/sec. After 12 seconds, h
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

After 12 seconds, the area enclosed by the ripple will be increasing rapidly at the rate of 1206.528 ft²/sec

Explanation:

Area of a circle = πr²

where;

r is the circle radius

Differentiate the area with respect to time.

\frac{dA}{dt} = 2\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}

dr/dt = 4 ft/sec

after 12 seconds, the radius becomes = \frac{dr}{dt} X 12 = 4 \frac{ft}{sec}  X 12 sec = 48 ft

To obtain how rapidly is the area enclosed by the ripple increasing after 12 seconds, we calculate dA/dt

\frac{dA}{dt} = 2\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}

\frac{dA}{dt} = 2\pi (48)(4)

    dA/dt = 1206.528 ft²/sec

Therefore, after 12 seconds, the area enclosed by the ripple will be increasing rapidly at the rate of 1206.528 ft²/sec

Which expression of distance uses SI units? A. 30 miles B. 16 kilograms C. 24 feet D. 500 meters
Stella [2.4K]
Hi!

SI units are physical measurements which will be in the form of kilograms, second, kelvin, metres, etc.

Since kilograms measure the weight of an object, it is out. Miles and feet are not SI units, so they are also out. This only leaves one answer left!

Hopefully, this helps! =)

Yea, gonna need some help. Thanks
natulia [17]

Answer:

t = 3.48 s

Explanation:

The time for the maximum height can be calculated by taking the derivative of height function with respect to time and making it equal to zero:

h(t) = -16t^2+v_ot+h_o\\\\\frac{dh(t)}{dt}=0=-32t+v_o\\\\v_o = 32t

where,

v₀ = initial speed = 110 ft/s

Therefore,

110 = 32t\\\\t = \frac{110}{32}\\\\

<u>t = 3.48 s</u>
