Answer:

a) It takes the stone 0.7743 s to reach a height of 11 m for the first time on its way up and 2.899 s to reach again that height on its way down.

b) At t = 0.7743 s the velocity is 10.41 m/s and at t = 2.899 s the velocity is -10.41 m/s.

c) There are two answers because the stone reaches the height of 11 m one time on its way up and one more time again on its way down.

Please, see the attached figures and the explanation for a description of the figures.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equations for the height and velocity of the stone are as follows:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

v = v0 + g · t

Where:

y = height

y0 = initial height

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive)

v = velocity at time t

a) Let´s calculate the time it takes the stone to reach a height of 11 m. The origin of the frame of reference is at the throwing point so that y0 = 0:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²        

11 m = 18 m/s · t - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²    

0 = -4.9 m/s² · t² + 18 m/s · t - 11 m

Solving the quadratic equation:

t = 0.7743 s and t = 2.899 s

(Notice that I have used more significant figures to avoid error by rounding)

The stone will be two times at a height of 11 m, one on its way up (at 0.7743 s) and one on its way down  (at 2.899 s). Then, it takes the stone 0.7743 s to reach a height of  11 m for the first time.

b)  Let´s use the equation of velocity:

v = v0 + g · t

at t = 0.77443 s

v = 18 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · 0.77443 s

v = 10.41 m/s

at t = 2.899 s

v = 18 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · 2.899 s

v = - 10.41 m/s

(Both velocities have to be of the same magnitude but of different sign, that´s why I haven´t rounded the time.)

c) There are two answers because the stone reaches the height of 11 m one time on its way up and one more time again on its way down. On its way up, the velocity is 10.41 m/s and on its way down it is -10.41 m/s.

Figures

The functions to plot are the following:

height in function of time (figure 1, x-axis: time. y-axis: height)

y = -4.9t² + 18t

velocity in function of time (figure 2, x-axis: time. y-axis velocity)

v = -9.8t + 18

Acceleration in function of time (figure 3, x-axis: time. y-axis: acceleration)

a = -9.8

Wildlife biologists are attempting to monitor the population size of the insect pest known as the gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar)
Elden [556K]

Answer: Option A: The number of trees sampled.

The accuracy can be understood as how close is the measured value to the true value.   The aim is to monitor the population size of the insect pest in a 50 square kilometer. Random trees are selected, and number of eggs and larvae are counted. So, the measured value would be closer to actual value when the number of trees sampled are increased. More the number of trees sampled, less would be the chances of error and the accuracy of the estimate would increase.

What is the unit of k (spring constant) in SI system?
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

SI unit of k (spring constant) = N/m

Explanation:

We have expression for force in a spring extended by x m given by

         F = kx

Where k is the spring constant value.

Taking units on both sides

         Unit of F = Unit of k x Unit of x

          N = Unit of k x m

          Unit of k = N/m

SI unit of k (spring constant) = N/m
