Across a horizontal distance of 25 feet, a roller coaster has a steep drop. The height of the roller coaster at the bottom of th

e drop is -125 feet, compared to its height at the top of the drop. What is the average amount that the roller coaster's height changes over each horizontal foot?

X = total horizontal distance = 25 ft

Y = total vertical distance = 125 ft

x = horizontal distance = 1 ft

y = vertical distance = ?

using the equation

y = (Y/X) (x)

inserting the values

y = (125/25) (1)

y = 5 ft

hence for each horizontal foot, the average height change is 5 ft

or

25 ft horizontal distance traveled = 125 ft vertical distance dropped

dividing both side by 25

25 ft horizontal distance traveled/25 = 125 ft vertical distance dropped/25

1 foot horizontal distance traveled = 25 ft vertical distance dropped

Answer: -5

Explanation: You correctly divided the absolute values, but since you are dividing a negative height by a positive number of horizontal feet, the answer is negative. What the hell I thought this answer was supposed to be verified....By who the same person that gave the wrong answer?????

A ball is thrown vertically upward from the top of a building 112 feet tall with an initial velocity of 96 feet per second. The

nordsb [41]

Answer:

$t=6.96s$

Explanation:

From this exercise, our knowable variables are <u>hight and initial velocity </u>

$v_{oy}=96ft/s$

$y_{o}=112ft$

To find how much time does the <u>ball strike the ground</u>, we need to know that the final position of the ball is y=0ft

$y=y_{o}+v_{oy}t+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

$0=112ft+(96ft/s)t-\frac{1}{2}(32.2ft/s^{2})t^{2}$

Solving for t using quadratic formula

$t=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}$

$a=-\frac{1}{2} (32.2)\\b=96\\c=112$

$t=-0.999s$ or $t=6.96s$

<u><em>Since time can't be negative the answer is t=6.96s</em></u>

Statistical time division multiplexing does not require the capacity of the circuit to be equal to the sum of the combined circu

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

The answer is True

Explanation:

Statistical Multiplexing is considered an example of communication link sharing which makes it comparable to DBA (Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation). Here, communication channels are broken down into data streams to optimize the communication process.

In Statistical Time-division Multiplexing, time slots are allocated to data streams for communication optimization. This method makes sure that no time slot or bandwidth is wasted.

Hence, the sum of combined circuits must not be equal to the capacity of the circuit to work effectively.

A capacitor consists of two parallel plates, each with an area of 17.0 cm2 , separated by a distance of 0.150 cm . The material

Llana [10]

Answer:

a) $C = 40.138\,pF$ , b) $q = 16.056\,nC$ , c) $U = 3.212\,\mu J$

Explanation:

a) The capacitance of two parallel plates capacitor with dielectric is given by the following expression:

$C = K\cdot \epsilon_{o}\cdot \frac{A}{d}$

Where:

$K$ - Dielectric constant.

$\epsilon_{o}$ - Vaccum permitivity.

$A$ - Plate area.

$d$ - Distance between plates.

Hence, the capacitance of the system is:

$C = (4.00)\cdot (8.854\times 10^{-12}\,\frac{F}{m} )\cdot \left(\frac{17\times 10^{-4}\,m^{2}}{0.150\times 10^{-2}\,m}\right)$

$C = 4.014\cdot 10^{-11}\,F$

$C = 40.138\,pF$

b) The charge can be found by using the definition of capacitance:

$q = C\cdot V_{batt}$

$q = (4.014\times 10^{-11}\,F)\cdot (400\,V)$

$q = 1.606\times 10^{-8}\,C$

$q = 16.056\,nC$

c) The energy stored in the charged capacitor is:

$U=\frac{1}{2}\cdot Q\cdot V_{batt}$

$U=\frac{1}{2}\cdot (1.606\times 10^{-8}\,C)\cdot (400\,V)$

$U = 3.212\times 10^{-6}\,J$

$U = 3.212\,\mu J$
