a boy is standing on a pole of height 14.7m throws a stone upwards. it moves in a vertical line slightly away from the pole and

falls on the ground. its equation of motion in meters and seconds is x=9.8t-4.9t^2. find time taken for upward and downward motions. also find the maximum height reached by the stone from the ground.

Answer:

The time taken for the upward motion is 1 second. The same time is taken for the downward motion

It reaches a maximum height of 4.9 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of motion is:

x(t) = -4.9t^{2} + 9.8t

Since the term which multiplies t squared is negative, the graph is concave down, that is, x increases until the vertex, where it reaches it's maximum height, then it decreases.

Vertex of a quadratic equation:

Quadratic equation in the format x(t) = at^{2} + bt + c

The vertex is the point (t_{v}, x(t_{v})), in which

t_{v} = -\frac{b}{2a}

In this question:

x(t) = -4.9t^{2} + 9.8t

So a = -4.9, b = 9.8

Vertex:

t_{v} = -\frac{9.8}{2*(-4.9)} = 1

The time taken for the upward motion is 1 second.

x(t_{v}) = x(1) = 9.8*1 - 4.9*(1)^{2} = 4.9

It reaches a maximum height of 4.9 meters.

Downward motion:

From the vertex to the ground.

The ground is t when x = 0. So

-4.9t^{2} + 9.8t = 0

4.9t^{2} - 9.8t = 0

4.9t(t - 2) = 0

4.9t = 0

t = 0

Or

t - 2 = 0

t = 2

It reaches the ground when t = 2 seconds.

The downward motion started at the vertex, when t = 1.

So the duration of the downward motion is 2 - 1 = 1 second.

You make one pitcher of iced tea and one pitcher of lemonade for a party. Just before the party starts, you catch a little misch
mario62 [17]

Answer:

  Each pitcher has the same fraction of the other drink.

Step-by-step explanation:

After 1 cup of tea is added to x cups of lemonade, the mix has the ratio 1:x of tea to lemonade. So, the fraction of mix that is tea is 1/(x+1).

The 1 cup of mix contains 1/(x+1) cups of tea and so x/(x+1) cups of lemonade. When that amount of lemonade is added to the tea, it brings the proportion of lemonade in the tea to (x/(x+1))/x = 1/(x+1), the same proportion as that of tea in the lemonade.

_____

You can consider the degenerate case of one cup of drink in each pitcher. Then when the 1 cup of tea is removed from its pitcher and added to the lemonade, you have a 50-50 mix of tea and lemonade. Removing 1 cup of that mix and putting it back in the tea pitcher makes there be a 50-50 mix in both pitchers.

Increasing the quantity in each pitcher does nothing to change the fact that the mixes end up in the same ratio:

  tea:lemonade in Pitcher 1 = lemonade:tea in Pitcher 2

The temperature in St. Louis, Missouri, is 31°F. The temperature in Duluth, Minnesota, is -29°F. Is the temperature in St. Louis
Sati [7]

-29 is 29 degrees away from 0 degrees.

31 is 31 degrees away from 0 degrees.

-29 (the temperature in Duluth) is closer to 0, because 29 is less than 31.

11 more than four times a number is 39
Aliun [14]

Hello!

Your answer is: 7

(X = "<em>A number</em>")

<em>"11 more than four times a number is 39"</em> in equation form is: 4X + 11 = 39

to solve, first subtract 11 from both sides:

4X = 28

then divide both sides by 4 to get:

X = 7

I hope this helps, and have a nice day!
