I think the answer is B but the problem in this part is that the South American plate has moved over time. You see the difference?

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

a. the magnitude of the force experienced by the muon is 2.55 × 10⁻¹⁹N

b.  this force compare to the weight of the muon; the force is 1.38 × 10⁸ greater than muon

Explanation:

F= ma

v²=u² -2aS

(1.56 ✕ 10⁶)²=(2.40 ✕ 10⁶)²-2a(1220)

a=1.36×10⁹m/s²

recall

F=ma

F = 1.88 ✕ 10⁻²⁸ kg × 1.36×10⁹m/s²

F= 2.55 × 10⁻¹⁹N

the magnitude of the force experienced by the muon is 2.55 × 10⁻¹⁹N

b.  this force compare to the weight of the muon

F/mg= 2.55 × 10⁻¹⁹/ (1.88 ✕ 10⁻²⁸ × 9.8)

= 1.38 × 10⁸

If a ball is thrown vertically upward with a velocity of 160 ft/s, then its height after t seconds is s = 160t − 16t^2.
White raven [17]

Answer:

400ft.    32ft/s       -32ft/s

Explanation:

In reality the gravitational acceleration is 9.81 so the quadratic coefficient of the function should be 9.81/2

Anyway for the sake of assumtion let us takes=160t-16t^2

 

ds/dt=160-32t=0

 

t=160/32= 5 seconds.

s=160*160/32-16*(160/32)^2= 400 mts

 

 

s=384 mts

160t-16t^2=384

i.e

16t^2-160t+384=0

 

t^2-10t+24=0

(t-6)(t-4)=0

t=[4,6]

we have to take t=4 because it is all the up i.e <5

 

velocity =v=ds/dt=160-32t

 

v=160-32*4=32 ft/sec still going up

 

for all the way down take t=6 whuch is >5

 

v=160-6*32=-32 ft/sec (falling down!!!)
