Answer:

It would take the object 5.4 s to reach the ground.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of the height of a free-falling object at any given time, neglecting air resistance, is the following:

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

Where:

h = height of the object at time t.

h0 = initial height.

v0 = initial velocity.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-32.2 ft/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

t = time

Let´s supose that the object is dropped and not thrown so that v0 = 0. Then:

h = h0 + 1/2 · g · t²

We have to find the time at which h = 0:

0 = 470 ft - 1/2 · 32.2 ft/s² · t²

Solving for t:

-470 ft = -16.1 ft/s² · t²

-470 ft / -16.1 ft/s² = t²

t = 5.4 s

Question 1 (1 point)
Dmitry [639]

1). trajectory

2). person sitting in a chair

3). 490 meters

4). 65 m/s

5). False.  The projectile's displacement, velocity, and acceleration have vertical and horizontal components, but the projectile doesn't.

6). False

7). The vertical component of a projectile doesn't change due to gravity, but the vertical components of its displacement, velocity, and acceleration do.

The vertical components do NOT equal the horizontal components.

8). Decreasing if you include the effects of air resistance.  Constant if you don't.  Gravity has no effect on horizontal velocity.

9). We can't see the simulation.  But if the projectile doesn't have jets on it, then as it travels upward, its vertical velocity must decrease, because gravity is trying to not let it get away.

10). We can't see the simulation.  But if the projectile is traveling downward, we would call that "falling", and its vertical velocity must increase, because gravity is pulling it downward.
