Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the horizontal distance the ball travels, we need to know first how long it took to hit the ground. We will find that time in the y-dimension, and then use that time in the x-dimension, which is the dimension in question when we talk about horizontal distance. Here's what we know in the y-dimension:
a = -32 ft/s/s
v₀ = 0 (since the ball is being thrown straight out the window, the angle is 0 degrees, which translates to no upwards velocity at all)
Δx = -15 feet (negative because the ball lands 15 feet below the point from which it drops)
t = ?? sec.
The equation we will use is the one for displacement:
Δx = and filling in:
which simplifies down to
so
so
t = .968 sec (That is not the correct number of sig fig's but if I use the correct number, the answer doesn't come out to be one of the choices given. So I deviate from the rules a bit here out of necessity.)
Now we use that time in the x-dimension. Here's what we know in that dimension specifically:
a = 0 (acceleration in this dimension is always 0)
v₀ = 80 ft/sec
t = .968 sec
Δx = ?? feet
We use the equation for displacement again, and filling in what we know in this dimension:
Δx = and of course the portion of that after the plus sign goes to 0, leaving us with simply:
Δx = (80)(.968)
Δx = 77.46 feet
Answer:
0.2109 or 21.09%
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to maintain the same price after two days, the stock must go up (U) on two days and go down (D) on two days, the sample space for this event is:
S={UUDD, UDUD, UDDU, DDUU, DUDU, DUUD}
There are 6 equally likely possible outcomes. The probability that the price of the stock will be the same as it is today is:
The probability is 0.2109 or 21.09%.
