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>.

The three branches of science earth and physicals
seropon [69]
<span>Science is always defined as the body of knowledge and linked to something related to the physical world, phenomena and lives of everything that exist on Earth. Science is categorized in various ways.  Pure, practical or theoretical, is the largest distinction of  science or whether science is applied.  Generally, pure science is subdivided into Physical sciences, Earth sciences, and Life sciences.  Physical sciences deal with energy and matter, Earth sciences explain Earth’s phenomena, to the solar system where it belongs and its atmosphere. And finally, life sciences describe internal processes of living organisms, its relationship to each other and to its environment.</span>

How do you solve for a net force
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Learning the formula.multiply mass accelebrations.the force(F)required to move an object of mass(M) with an acceleration (a) is given by the formula F = m x a.so, force = mass multiplied by accelebration.

Find the rms speed of the molecules of a sample of n2 (diatomic nitrogen) gas at a temperature of 31.5°c.
Artemon [7]
The rms speed can be calculated using the following rule:
rms = sqrt ((3RT) / (M)) where:
R is the gas constant =  8.314 J/mol-K
T is the temperature = 31.5 + 273 = 304.5 degrees kelvin
M is the molar mass = 2*14 = 28 grams = 0.028 kg

Substitute with the givens to get the rms speed as follows:
rms speed = sqrt [(3*8.314*304.5) / (0.028)] = 520.811 m/sec

Six baseball throws are shown below. In each case the baseball is thrown at the same initial speed and from the same height h ab
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

EXplained

Explanation:

from conservation of energy

change in potential energy = gain in kinetic energy

so as all he balls are throws from the same height thus the change in potential energy is the same for all the balls thus the gain in kinetic energy is the same for all the balls and as they have the same initial velocity thus the final velocity is the same for all the balls.
