What speed must you toss a ball straight up so that it takes 4 s to return to you? Show your work.

1 answer:

4 0

1) Type of motion: constant acceleration.

2) acceleration, a = 9.8 m/s^2

3) time up = time down = 4seconds / 2 = 2 seconds

4) formula = Vf = Vo - a*t^2/2

Vf = 0 => Vo = a*t^2 / 2 = 9.8m/s^2 * (2 s)^2 / 2 = 19.6 m/s

Answer: 19.6 m/s

Answer:

Is y = 4x - 7 a linear function?
Is y = 6x² - 1 a linear function?
Is y = $\frac{1}{2x}$ + 10 a linear function?

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes it is - when you graph this equation, it results in a [straight] line, signalling that it is a linear function.
No it's not - when you graph this equation, it results in a v- kinda shape on the graph. Linear functions are [straight] lines on a graph, and this line wasn't straight. In fact, this wasn't even a line.
No it's not - when you graph this equation, it results in a bend at the origin. The line on the graph is not straight, so this is not a linear equation.

For the graphs -
