Ryan throws a baseball upward with an initial velocity of 12 m/s from a height of 2m above the ground. How long will it take for
the baseball to hit the ground? Round answer to the nearest 10th of a second.
1 answer:
Answer:
It will take 2.6 s for the ball to hit the ground.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a standard physics problem
The equation that defines the movement of Ryans baseball is given by the initial velocity, and the acceleration
Distance = Do + Vo*t + 0.5*a*t^2
Where
Do is the initial distance.
(Do = 2m over the ground)
Vo is the initial velocity = 12m/s
a is the acceleration that is exerted on the body (in this case a = g = -9.8 m/s^2 )
t is the time
We substitute in the equation, and solve for t (time)
(0)= 2+ (12)*t + 0.5*(-9.8)*t^2
We get that
t = 2.606 s = 2.6 s

Answer: The answer is 30 sq.ft/min and 25 sq.ft/min.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that there are two spray paint machines. The first machine (nicknamed "Paint Pro") is used for two hours and the second machine (nicknamed "Goldilocks") is used for an hour and a half. When they are working at the same time, they can paint 55 square feet per minute and together they painted 5850 square feet of wall.
Let 'x' and 'y' sq.ft/min be the portion of the wall painted by Paint Pro and Goldilocks respectively.
Then, according to the question, we have
Multiplying first equation by 4 and subtracting the second equation from it, we have
and
Thus, Paint Pro will paint 30 sq.feet per minute and Goldilocks will paint 25 sq.ft per minute.
