Supposing there's no air resistance, horizontal velocity is constant, which makes it very easy to solve for the amount of time that the rock was in the air.


Initial horizontal velocity is: <span>
cos(30 degrees) * 12m/s = 10.3923m/s 

15.5m / 10.3923m/s = 1.49s 

So the rock was in the air for 1.49 seconds. </span>

<span>

Now that we know that, we can use the following kinematics equation: 

d = v i * t + 1/2 * a * t^2 

Where d is the difference in y position, t is the time that the rock was in the air, and a is the vertical acceleration: -9.80m/s^2. </span>

<span>
Initial vertical velocity is sin(30 degrees) * 12m/s = 6 m/s 

So: 

d = 6 * 1.49 + (1/2) * (-9.80) * (1.49)^2 
d = 8.94 + -10.89</span>

d = -1.95<span>

<span>This means that the initial y position is 1.95 m higher than where the rock lands. </span></span>

Proved that<br>V = u+at<br>​
kondaur [170]

Answer:

\sf Proof \ below

Explanation:

We know that acceleration is change in velocity over time.

\sf a=\frac{\triangle v}{t}

\sf a=\frac{v-u}{t}

v is the final velocity and u is the initial velocity.

Solve for v.

Multiply both sides by t.

\sf at=v-u

Add u to both sides.

\sf at + u=v

Why do you think football players are usually large in size?
kiruha [24]
Football players in the NFL are large in size due to their eating habits since as players they have to work out constantly to stay and shape and eat to gain weight and be strong, so its important for them to be strong against their opponents in gameplay. Football players sometimes take steroids which make their muscles stronger and harder, and also gives them a growth spurt but the effects are worse and makes them sicker, high blood pressure, and even more.

Please help don't for get to show work

-- Bob covered a distance of (32m + 45m) = 77 meters.

-- His displacement is the straight-line distance and direction
from his starting point to his ending point.

The straight-line distance is

D = √(32² + 45²)
D = √(1,024 + 2,025)
D = √3,049 = 55.22 meters

The direction is the angle whose tangent is (32/45) south of east.

tan⁻¹(32/45) = tan⁻¹(0.7111...) = 35.42° south of east.
