A man hits a baseball when it is 4 ft above the ground with an initial velocity of 120 ft/sec. The ball leaves the bat at a 30 d

egree angle with the horizontal and heads towards the 30 ft fence 350 ft away from home plate. The ball will not clear the fence. True or False.

<span>et us assume that the origin is the floor right below the 30 ft. fence

To work this one out, we'll start with acceleration and integrate our way up to position.

At the time that the player hits the ball, the only force in action is gravity where: a = g (vector)
ax = 0
ay = -g (let's assume that g = 32.8 ft/s^2. If you use a different value for gravity, change the numbers.

To get the velocity of the ball, we integrate the acceleration
vx = v0x = v0cos30 = 103.92
vy = -gt + v0y = -32.8t + v0sin40 = -32.8t + 60

To get the positioning, we integrate the speed.
x = v0cos30t + x0 = 103.92t - 350
y = 1/2*(-32.8)t² + v0sin30t + y0 = -16.4t² + 60t + 4

If the ball clears the fence, it means x = 0, y > 30

x = 0 -> 103.92 t - 350 = 0 -> t = 3.36 seconds

for t = 3.36s,
y = -16.4(3.36)^2 + 60*(3.36) + 4
= 20.45 ft

which is less than 30ft, so it means that the ball will NOT clear the fence.


Just for fun, let's check what the speed should have been :)

x = v0cos30t + x0 = v0cos30t - 350
y = 1/2*(-32.8)t² + v0sin30t + y0 = -16.4t² + v0sin30t + 4

x = 0 -> v0t = 350/cos30
y = 30 ->
-16.4t^2 + v0t(sin30) + 4 = 30
-16.4t^2 + 350sin30/cos30 = 26
t^2 = (26 - 350tan30)/-16.4
t = 3.2s

v0t = 350/cos30 -> v0 = 350/tcos30 = 123.34 ft/s

So he needed to hit the ball at at least 123.34 ft/s to clear the fence.

You're welcome, Thanks please :)

Please helppp ;-; how do you determine the end behavior of a function?
Karolina [17]

Answer:

End Behavior of a Function. The end behavior of a polynomial function is the behavior of the graph of f( x ) as x approaches positive infinity or negative infinity. The degree and the leading coefficient of a polynomial function determine the end behavior of the graph.

(h+k)(2)=?<br> (h-k)(3)=?<br> 3h(2)+2k(3)=?
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(h + k)(x) = h(x) + k(x), thus

h(x) + k(x)

= x² + 1 + x - 2 = x² + x - 1 , then

(h + k)(2) = 2² + 2 - 1 = 4 + 2 - 1 = 5

----------------------------------------------------

(h - k)(x) = h(x) - k(x), thus

h(x) - k(x)

= x² + 1 - (x - 2) = x² + 1 - x + 2 = x² - x + 3, then

(h - k)(3) = 3² - 3 + 3 = 9 - 3 + 3 = 9

-----------------------------------------------------

h(2) = 2² + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5

k(3) = 3 - 2 = 1

Thus

3h(2) + 2k(3)

= 3(5) + 2(1) = 15 + 2 = 17
