The formula for the height of a ball as a function of time is given by the equation h = -16t^2 + vt + h, where h is the height o

f a ball in feet, v is the initial velocity of the ball in feet per second, h is the initial height of the ball in feet, and t is the time in seconds after the ball was thrown.
If a ball is thrown from an initial height of 5 feet at an initial velocity of 20 feet per second, what is its height after 1 second?

It's really poor form to use 'h' to mean two different things in two different
places in the same formula.  Fortunately, we know what you mean.

H = h + vt - 16t²

<span>You have said that ...
initial height = 5 feet
initial velocity = 20 feet per second, no direction given
time = 1 second</span>

Since you gave us the magnitude of the initial velocity but not its direction,
there are a huge number of possibilities.  I'll focus only on two of them: 
20 feet per second straight down, and 20 feet per second straight up.

<em><u>Initial velocity is downward:</u></em>
H = (5) + (-20) (1) - 16 (1)²
H = 5 - 20 - 16 = 5 - 36 = <u>31 feet underground</u> after 1 second

<em><u>Initial velocity is upward:</u></em>
H = (5) + (20) (1) - 16 (1)²
H = 5 + 20 - 16 = 25 - 16 = <u>9 feet above ground</u> after 1 second

The following table gives results from two groups of students who took a nonproctored test. Use a 0.01 significance level to tes
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Original claim is \mu_{1} =\mu_{2}

Opposite claim is \mu_{1} \neq \mu_{2}

Null and alternative hypotheses:

H_{0}:\mu_{1} = \mu_{2}

H_{1} : \mu_{1} \neq \mu_{2}

Significance level: 0.01

Test statistic:

We can use TI-84 calculator to find the test statistic and P-value. The steps are as follows:

Press STAT and the scroll right to TESTS

Scroll down to 2-SampTTest... and scroll to stats.

Enter below information.

\bar{x_{1}}=70.29

Sx1=22.09

n_{1} = 30

\bar{x_{2}}=74.26

Sx2=18.15

n_{2} = 32

\mu_{1} \neq \mu_{2}

Pooled: Yes

Calculate.

The output is in the attachment.

Therefore, the test statistic is:

t=-0.78

P-value: 0.4412

Reject or fail to reject: Fail to reject

Final Conclusion: Since the p-value is greater than the significance level, we, therefore, fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the there is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the samples are from populations with the same mean.

Naddik [55]

Answer:  134 miles

Step-by-step explanation:  

f(m) = 16.95 + 0.92m

140.23 = 16.95 + 0.92m

0.92m = 140.23 - 16.95

0.92m = 123.28

m = 123.28/0.92

m = 134 miles
