Projectile motion is when the direction of an object follows the shape of an arc. The only force acting on the object is gravity. Also, the concept is that the motion of the horizontal and vertical directions are independent. Therefore, assuming no air resistance, the time for a rock thrown over the cliff at some angle to reach the ground will be the same time if you just simply free-fall the rock. 

Hence, we can solve this using rectilinear motion equations.

y = vt + 1/2*a*t^2, where
y is the vertical distance
v is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration due to gravity equal to -32.2 ft/s^2
t is the time of flight

However, it would be impossible to have 0 height. I think there is some typographical error right there. Let's just assume a height of 1000 ft. Substituting the values,

100 = 160*t + 1/2*-32.2*t^2
t = 9.3 seconds

Sally has a cube she wants to find the volume of, the base is 6cm, the height is 8cm and the width is 12cm. What is the volume.
Alina [70]

Answer:

576cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find volume, you multiply all three values together (6cm x 8cm=48cm^2 and 48cm^2 x 12cm=576cm^3)

∠1, ∠2, and ∠3 form a straight line. If m∠3 is six more than twice m∠1 and m∠2 is 27 less than m∠3, find m∠2.
Anarel [89]

Answer:

m<2 = 57

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they are all in a straight line, the sum of the three angles = 180

Let m ∠3 = x

Thus;

2m<1 = x - 6

m<1 = (x-6)/2

m<2 = x-27

Adding all

x + x-27 + (x-6)/2 = 180

Multiply through by 2

2x + 2x -54 + x -6 = 360

5x -60 = 360

5x = 360 + 60

5x = 420

x = 420/5

x = 84

But m<2 = x -27

m<2 = 84 -27 = 57
