I throw a stone off a cliff 32 feet above the water.  The height of the stone in terms of time (in seconds) is given by h(t) = -

16t2 + 128t + 32.  At what time will the stone splash into the water? Round your answer to nearest tenth of a second

<span>Your equation for the height of the stone at any time is   h(t) = -16t2<span> + 128t + 32 .

From your equation, we can tell that you're defining the upward direction as
positive.  We can also tell that you threw the stone upward, with an initial speed
as it left your hand of 128 feet per second, about 87 miles per hour ... a mighty toss indeed, and I think there's a man from the Chicago Cubs waiting outside
who'd like to talk to you.

Anyway, When the stone splashes into the water,  h(t) = 0 .
</span></span>
<span>-16t²<span> + 128t + 32 = 0</span></span>

Divide each side by -16 :

t² - 8t - 2 = 0

I don't see any easy way to factor the expression on the left,
so I have to use the quadratic formula to solve this equation.

t = 4 plus and minus √18 .

t = +8.24 seconds
t = -0.24 second

Mathematically, both numbers are valid solutions.But when you apply
the equation to a real world situation, only the positive 't' makes sense.
So  <u> t = 8.24 seconds</u>.

Weight of the mass is the tension in the string if the turntable is held fixed, with the mass hanging from the pulley

Weight is a force that acts at all times on all objects near Earth. The Earth pulls on all objects with a force of gravity downward toward the center of the Earth. Weight (symbolized w ) is a quantity representing the force exerted on a particle or object by an acceleration field, particularly the gravitational field of the Earth at the surface.

The tension force is defined as the force that is transmitted through a rope, string or wire when pulled by forces acting from opposite sides. The tension force is directed over the length of the wire and pulls energy equally on the bodies at the ends.

The direction of tension is the pull which is given the name tension. Thus, the tension will point away from the mass in the direction of the string/rope. In case of the hanging mass, the string pulls it upwards, so the string/rope exerts an upper force on the mass and the tension will be in the upper side.

Tension will act opposite the the weight of the mass attached in order to maintain equilibrium .

A point charge A of charge +4micro coloumb and another B of -1 micro coloumb are placed at a distance in air 1m apart then the d
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

A point charge is placed between two charges

Q1 = 4 μC

Q2 = -1 μC

Distance between the two charges is 1m

We want to find the point when the electric field will be zero.

Electric field can be calculated using

E = kQ/r²

Let the point charge be at a distance x from the first charge Q1, then, it will be at 1 -x from the second charge.

Then, the magnitude of the electric at point x is zero.

E = kQ1 / r² + kQ2 / r²

0 = kQ1 / x²  - kQ2 / (1-x)²

kQ1 / x² = kQ2 / (1-x)²

Divide through by k

Q1 / x² = Q2 / (1-x)²

4μ / x² = 1μ / (1 - x)²

Divide through by μ

4 / x² = 1 / (1-x)²

Cross multiply

4(1-x)² = x²

4(1-2x+x²) = x²

4 - 8x + 4x² = x²

4x² - 8x + 4 - x² = 0

3x² - 8x + 4 = 0

Check attachment for solution of quadratic equation

We found that,

x = 2m or x = ⅔m

So, the electric field will be zero if placed ⅔m from point charge A, OR ⅓m from point charge B.

Taking shorter showers, turning off the lights when you aren't in a room, use energy efficient lightbulbs like LED's, use the air conditioning only when you really need it, and use the heat less in the winter.
