Determine the speed of a falling object 7.8 sec after it dropped.
butalik [34]

Answer:

76.4m/s

Explanation:

Given parameter:

Time taken  = 7.8sec

Unknown:

Speed after it dropped  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use one of the kinematics equation:

      V  = U + gt

V is the final speed

U is the initial speed  = 0m/s

g is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time taken

       V  = 0 + 9.8 x 7.8  = 76.4m/s

antoniya [11.8K]

Explanation:

Given that, the height of the tide measured at a seaside community varies according to the number of hours t after midnight. The height is given by the equation as :

h=-\dfrac{1}{2}t^2+6t-9

When the tide first be at 6 ft, put h = 6 ft in above equation as :

-\dfrac{1}{2}t^2+6t-9=6

-t^2+12t-18=0

On solving the above equation to find the value of t. It is equal to :

t = 3.551 seconds

or

t = 8.449 seconds

So, the tide of 6 ft is at  3.551 seconds and 8.449 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.
