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>.

If a specimen was being viewed using a 20x objective lens and 10x ocular lens, what would be the total magnification
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

As Per Given Information

20x objective lens was used by specimen

10x ocular lens was also used by him.

we have to find the total magnification.

For calculating the total magnification we 'll simply do multiplication

Total Magnification = 20x × 10x

Total Magnification = 200x

So , the total magnification will be 200x .

A resistor with an unknown resistance is connected in parallel to a 13 Ω resistor. When both resistors are connected in parallel
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

R2 = 10.31Ω

Explanation:

For two resistors in parallel you have that the equivalent resistance is:

\frac{1}{R_{eq}}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}\\\\      (1)

R1 =  13 Ω

R2 = ?

The equivalent resistance of the circuit can also be calculated by using the Ohm's law:

I=\frac{V}{R_{eq}}\\\\R_{eq}=\frac{V}{I}            (2)

V: emf source voltage = 23 V

I: current = 4 A

You calculate the Req by using the equation (2):

R_{eq}=\frac{23V}{4A}=5.75\Omega

Now, you can calculate the unknown resistor R2 by using the equation (1):

\frac{1}{R_2}=\frac{1}{R_{eq}}-\frac{1}{R_1}\\\\R_2=\frac{R_{eq}R_1}{R_1-R_{eq}}\\\\R_2=\frac{(5.75\Omega)(13\Omega)}{13\Omega-5.75\Omega}=10.31\Omega

hence, the resistance of the unknown resistor is 10.31Ω

the goat weighs 900 N and is 1 meter from the fulcrum. The strongman pulls down on the lever 3 meters from the fulcrum. What is
garik1379 [7]

Answer: The smallest effort = 300N

Explanation:

Using one of the condition for the attainment of equilibrium:

Clockwise moment = anticlockwise moments

900 × 1 = 3 × M

Where M = the weight of the strong man

3M = 900

M = 900/3 = 300N

Therefore, 300N is the smallest effort that the strongman can use to lift the goat

The value of acceleration due to gravity is less at the top of Mount Everest then that in the terai reason, why?​
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The value of acceleration due to gravity is greater in terai than in mountain. In terai region the radius of earth is less as it lies close to the centre of the earth. Thus, the value of g is more in terai region.
