a) h_0 -u_y t

b) See interpretation below

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

The motion of both balls is a free-fall motion: it means that the ball is acted upon the force of gravity only.

Therefore, this means that the motion of the ball is a uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration equal to the acceleration of gravity:

g=32 ft/s^2

in the downward direction.

For the ball dropped from the initial height of h_0 = 98 ft, the height at time t is given by

h(t) = h_0 -\frac{1}{2}gt^2 (1)

The ball which is thrown upward from the ground instead is fired with an initial vertical velocity u_y, and its starting height is zero, so its position at time t is given by

h'(t)=u_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2 (2)

Therefore, the polynomial that represents the distance between the two balls is:

h(t)-h'(t)=h_0 - \frac{1}{2}gt^2 - (u_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2) = h_0 -u_y t

b)

Now we interpret this polynomial, which is:

\Delta h(t) = h_0 -u_y t

which represents the distance between the two balls at time t.

The interpretation of the two terms is the following:

- The constant term, h_0, is the initial distance between the two balls, at time t=0 (in fact, the first ball is still at the top of the building, while the second ball is on the ground). For this problem, h_0 = 98 ft

- The coefficient of the linear term, u_y, is the initial velocity of the second ball; this terms tells us that the distance between the two balls decreases every second by u_y feet.

|2+3(-4)|
puteri [66]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the expression:

|2+3(-4)|

First, evaluate within the absolute value bars. 3 times -4 is -12. Thus:

=|2-12|

Now, subtract:

=|-10|

The absolute value of -10 is positive 10. So:

=10

And we're done!

In the figure below, the radius of the larger circle is 6,8 and the radius of the smaller circle is 4.5. Which of the following
Anna [14]

A <em>circle</em> is a figure <u>bounded</u> by a <em>curved</em> side which is referred to as <em>circumference</em>. Thus the area of the <u>shaded</u> region is option D. 81.65.

A <em>circle</em> is a figure<u> bounded</u> by a <em>curved</em> side which is referred to as <u>circumference</u>. Some of its <u>parts</u> are radius, diameter, sector, arc, etc.

The area of a <u>circle</u> can be determined by the given <em>expression:</em>

Area = πr^{2}

where r is the <u>radius</u> of the circle and π = \frac{22}{7}

So, the area of the <u>shaded</u> region can be determined as:

Area of the <em>shaded</em> region = <em>area </em>of the <u>larger</u> circle - <em>area</em> of the <u>smaller</u> circle

Area of the<em> shaded </em>region = π(6.8)^{2} - π(4.5)^{2}

                                            = π (46.24 - 20.25)

                                            = \frac{22}{7} x 25.99

                                            = \frac{571.78}{7}

<u>Area</u> of the <em>shaded</em> region = 81.683

Thus the<u> appropriate</u> answer to the question is option D. 81.65.

Find the missing angle
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

110 Degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Every interior triangle equalls 180 degress. So you subtract what you already have from 180.

30+40+x=180

70+x=180

180-70=110
